We are responsible for certain services across the whole of Kent, for example education, highways and social care.

There are 12 district councils, also known as borough or city councils, who are responsible for services including bin collections, environmental health, leisure facilities, housing and planning.

To check who your local district council is and to visit their website use the postcode checker.

Medway residents should visit the Medway Council website.
