🎃 Once it’s time for your carved creation to go in the bin – recycle it by feeding your food caddy

Break your pumpkin into smaller pieces and pop them inside your food caddy. If it doesn’t fit, place the pieces on top, either loose or in a compostable bag - our crews will still collect it.

ℹ️ Want to know what other food waste you can recycle? (Hint: almost all!) Head to our link in comments.

On Saturday 17th October, councillors attended a Dashain/ Tihar celebration held by the Sagarmatha Gurkha/ Nepalese Community Ashford, Kent (SGNCAK).

Honouring the Gurkha Regiment's 200-year history of serving alongside British troops, the event brought together community members and families to celebrate Nepalese culture, traditions and heritage.

A one-minute silence was observed in memory of those who lost their lives in the recent devastating floods in Nepal, as well as to honour and remember the community members who had recently passed away, particularly the late Late Hon Lt (QGO) Surya Bahadur KC, the beloved father of Dhailendra KC Public Secretary of the community.

Although traditionally known as the Dashain/Tihar Celebration Party, the event went beyond religious significance, reflecting the rich cultural diversity and shared heritage of all Nepalese people, regardless of faith, caste or individual beliefs.

We welcome the growing recognition that opening intermediate stations to international rail services can ease pressure on St Pancras, widen access to sustainable travel and spread the economic benefits of cross-Channel rail beyond central London.

But Ashford International is the strongest—and most deliverable—place to start. Ashford already has the international station infrastructure, capacity and proven demand. More than 85,000 people have signed the petition to restore international services to Kent, while over 20,000 passenger journeys have been registered through the Bring Back Euro Trains demand survey.

Restoring international services at Ashford would reconnect Mid and East Kent and Sussex with Europe, support businesses and tourism, attract investment and give residents a greener, more convenient alternative to travelling into London only to pass back through Kent.

We welcome the recent developments concerning Stratford International. They reinforce the principle that intermediate stations have an important role to play. Now the Government and rail operators should prioritise Ashford: the station is here, the capacity is here and the demand is clear.

Help strengthen the commercial case by registering the international journey you would make: https://orlo.uk/ZZcsi

Ricky's almost ready for recycling... he's just a bit too saucy and needs to clean up his act!

🍽️ Leftover food scraps and sauces don’t belong in your recycling bin as they can spoil your other recyclables.

The solution is simple! Pop any scraps in your food waste caddy, then just Rinse it Out in old washing up water and it’s ready to recycle! ♻️

🌳🚲 We're delighted to announce that Victoria Park Ashford has become a new hub for cycling activity and training in Ashford, thanks to a new partnership between Ashford Borough Council (ABC) and Kent County Council!

The park now provides an operational base for KCC's Adult Cycle Training programme, while supporting a range of cycling activities for residents of all ages and abilities. This includes hosting adult cycle training sessions for people learning to ride for the first time, returning to cycling after many years, or looking to improve their confidence on roads.

The park will also be used for Bikeability holiday club sessions, helping children develop essential cycling skills, confidence and road awareness in a safe and accessible environment.
