West Kent and Sevenoaks District Council are celebrating this year's Rural Housing Week with a free event in Leigh village green on Friday 6 July, 10am-12 noon. 

Rural Housing Week aims to highlight rural housing issues and showcase housing associations' solutions to them. The event will showcase the value of rural communities and the importance of house-building in these areas to ensure rural communities thrive and survive. 

The event will start at Leigh Village Green and will include:

  • A 'Shop Safe Stay Safe' ID scheme at the village shop and hairdressers by Tom Tungendhat MP
  • An 'Age simulation suit'- giving wearers the chance to understand the impairments affecting older people
  • Advice from West Kent's housing officers
  • Age UK
  • Representatives from Leigh Parish Council
  • Refreshments at the local pub. 

Help shape your community!

We're inviting residents to take part in our Community Strategy Consultation. This short survey is your chance to share your views on the challenges you and your community face, and what support you think is most needed.
