Couldn’t be more excited to be one of four election pilots for early voting. Polls open in two minutes (and there’s a queue in the RVP shopping centre!)

Hundreds of people have already told us what's important to them when thinking about the future set-up of councils in Kent and Medway.
Please spare a couple of minutes to fill out our short survey.

Any other T Wells people feeling a bit queasy about Twitter/X as a platform? Where are people going? I've spotted a few on @bluesky including @TWpeople. Can we put together a list of #twtwitterati people on bluesky so we can all meet up there? btw I'm @willbenson.bsky.social

You asked, we made it happen!

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council can confirm that Primark is to open a store in Royal Tunbridge Wells following the retailer’s purchase of the former BHS building in the centre of the town.

Fingers crossed for the @RTWinBloom judging which took place today. @FoDPTunWells was looking spectacular and the judges seemed very impressed with the places they visited and the people they spoke to - especially all the amazing volunteers. #lovewherewelive

[Mike Martin MP 🔸 @ThreshedThought]

Wonderful to meet with @BenChapelard, @TWBC_ChiefExec and @JustineRutland to discuss the challenges and opportunities over the next five years.

I’m looking forward to a very productive relationship aimed at delivering for our shared residents/constituents.

Unbelievable start to the Bricosaurs exhibition at @theamelia_tw with over 1,300 visitors in the first weekend!

[William Benson @TWBC_ChiefExec]

Just dropped in on the count venue - looking good!

[William Benson @TWBC_ChiefExec]

…and the rest… #GE24

Another batch of polling stations - this time, in the East of the Borough…

[William Benson @TWBC_ChiefExec]

And another polling station with a fabulous view - of a bowling green and Grosvenor & Hilbert Park....

[William Benson @TWBC_ChiefExec]

I'm trying not to spam people's feeds so here are some more polling stations grouped by theme - some churches/church halls (St James, St Barnabus, St Marks, St Philips). There have been some pretty big queues (for T Wells at St Marks)....

[William Benson @TWBC_ChiefExec]

...and some community centres (TN2 and Number One Library and Cafe)....

[William Benson @TWBC_ChiefExec]

...and a couple of schools: Claremont and Skinners Kent Primary School....
