The Council Gateway is a place where you can get answers to problems you encounter, from council rates to problems with neighbours. There is information about jobs, social services and disability issues.  One Gateway has been piloted in Ashford Kent.


The Ashford Gateway Centre is an innovative new development in the heart of Ashford's town centre. It brings together a wide range of public services under one roof


There are a variety of services on offer including:


  • health promotions
  • care services for children and adults
  • housing and accommodation
  • voluntary services
  • computer enabled learning
  • adult education
  • free internet access

You can even pay your council tax at the automated pay point, book a private meeting room at the business centre or take part in workshops, advice sessions and seminars.



TWBC have purchase the old McDonalds restaurant site in Tunbridge Wells and are developing their own Gateway in this location for over £3m


 

At Ashford no income is generated from
the rental of units to local businesses.

So the Ashford Gateway is not a self financing project when

compared to The Weald Centre Plan
