News Just days left to shape Maidstone’s future

There are just a few days left for the people of Maidstone to have their say and help shape the future look of the County Town.

Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) is inviting as many residents as possible to take part in the Resident’s Survey which is open until Sunday 20 October.

The Council wants to hear from local people about the services it provides and how it can improve these for the future.  Every resident who completes the survey can enter into a prize draw to be in with a chance of winning a variety of prizes including:

• Family tickets to cheer on Maidstone United FC
• The spellbinding pantomime at the Hazlitt Theatre Pantomime – Cinderella
• A fun day out for all the family at Kent Life
• Bowling like a movie star at Hollywood Bowl

Everyone who enters the prize draw is also eligible for a seven-day gym pass at Maidstone Leisure Centre.

MBC Cabinet Member for Community Cohesion and Safety, Cllr David Naghi added:

“We have had a fantastic response so far from thousands of people who have completed the 2024 Maidstone Borough Council Resident’s Survey, but we still want to hear from as many people as possible.

“This is the perfect opportunity to encourage anyone who lives in the borough to have their say and help form the basis of where the Council needs to improve services in the future and everyone’s views are really important to us.”

The survey will focus on the priorities of the new MBC Cabinet, ‘Putting People and the Environment First.’

• A high quality place, adapted for the future
  • Resilient communities
  • Quality homes
  • Fairer economy for people and the planet

It gives all residents the opportunity to tell the Council about their experiences of living in Maidstone.  The results will help shape how it will plan for the future, from housing to health, well-being, waste and recycling to the cost-of-living. Resident’s viewpoints are extremely valuable and will help inform the decisions the Council makes.

The survey is open to Maidstone residents aged 18 or over and takes around 10 – 15 mins to complete: https://online1.snapsurveys.com/interview/25bc3cdd-3656-44f8-a7be-b540bb35c25a
