Welcome to the Sevenoaks Town Council website

Complete our survey: should Town Council request transfer of local assets from District Council?

Sevenoaks District Council is making plans to merge into a new, larger Unitary Council. As part of this process, the expectation is that all of the District Council’s currently-owned assets would be transferred to this new Unitary.

In a bid to protect key local assets, Sevenoaks District Council has initiated a protocol for considering asset-transfer applications from its Town and Parish Councils. Sevenoaks Town Council is seeking local views on which, if any, District Council-owned assets local residents believe would benefit from being transferred to more local, centralised ownership.

Please give us your feedback here: survey

For more information, visit our consultation page, which includes a more thorough explanation of this ongoing process, as well as access to a short PowerPoint presentation on the topic.
