On Monday we’re launching a public consultation about proposals for a new town council for Tonbridge. It could mean that in future services run by the borough could pass to a locally elected body. More info and weblinks will be available here on Monday when the review begins.

This has been spoken about, pitched and speculated since 2009. However where it's funding comes from still remains an open question. It's estimated to cost between 9 and 16 billion to build.

We have two hedgehogs awake, and a third hopefully coming home from rescue soon where she has spent the winter. These two (Dudley and Buzz) met on camera for the first time last night since Buzz woke up. We don't think she's a fan yet! 🎳 #hedgehogs #hibernation

Nobody could have imagined Tonbridge would have found itself at the centre of the largest ever robbery.
Pat Marsh@patmarsh22 Feb 2025
It was today in 2006, when at least six men staged Britain’s biggest ever robbery, stealing £53m from a Securitas depot in #Tonbridge here in #Kent. The robbery took 7 hours, made national headlines and more than 37 arrests were carried out, in connection with the raid.

Our Council Tax bills could rise because Sevenoaks DC has debts of £12m and if a West Kent Unitary includes Maidstone BC it is set to inherit £5m of the debt there. Tonbridge and Malling and Tunbridge Wells Borough Councils are currently debt free. theguardian.com/society/2025…

Mergers of English councils could lead to tax rises due to high debt levels
