We’ve installed a bench at Market Yard car park to provide a place to rest for those who may need it while visiting the town centre.
The idea was raised by a resident who attended one of our monthly drop-ins to speak directly with councillors about improving the space, and we’re really pleased we’ve been able to make that suggestion a reality.
It’s a great example of how engaging with us can make a difference to our town. By sharing ideas, concerns and suggestions, you help shape local improvements and priorities for Edenbridge.
The bench also supports visitors to our weekly Thursday Market, as well as our ongoing work to make Edenbridge a more age and dementia-friendly town.

Resident and Councillor Drop-ins
If you have something you’d like to discuss with your councillors, we’d encourage you to come along to one of our monthly surgeries.
- Third Monday of every month, 11am to midday at Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre (From June)
- Last Thursday of every month, 11am to midday at The Bridges Centre
We look forward to hearing your ideas and continuing to work together to improve our town.
