The Company
The Ashford's Future company has been established by the
Ashford's Future Partnership Board to support the
delivery of housing and economic growth in Ashford.
The new company will not duplicate the role of the Partnership
Board. Its focus will be on making things happen and ensuring that
new investment is diverted into the delivery of key development
sites and infrastructure projects.
These projects will help to bring about the vision for a truly
sustainable community as set out in the Greater Ashford Development
Framework (GADF) and Ashford Borough Council's Local Development
Framework Core Strategy.
The company will build on existing partnership arrangements led
by Ashford Borough Council, Kent County Council, South East England
Development Agency and the Homes & Communities Agency by
providing strong private sector representation on the company Board.
The staff of the
company has considerable experience of working on the Ashford
Growth Agenda along with European, National and Regional experience
in regeneration and economic development. This has been
strengthened by additioappointments, including a new Managing
Director who has provided strong leadership to the team.
