County Councillors

I have represented Tenterden at Kent County Council since 2001. I have been very pleased during this time to work with Parish Councils and local Groups to tackle many of the issues which affect people’s lives.

I am pleased to be the Conservative County Councillor for Ashford Central. I have lived in Ashford for over 40 years so understand the area very well. By becoming a County Councillor as well as a Borough Councillor, I will ensure what you want to happen in Ashford Central is delivered.

I have been a borough councillor at Ashford for the past 10 years, representing a rural ward and working closely with parish councils to protect villages from unsuitable development whilst at the same time endeavouring to keep our rural communities thriving and sustainable.

Charles Simkins was elected in 2013 as Kent Count Councillor for Ashford Rural West Division.
