Streetlight upgrade at Market Yard Car Park

We have recently installed two new streetlights at Market Yard Car Park as part of our ongoing streetlight replacement programme. The light at the High Street entrance will also be upgraded soon.

The upgraded LED lights and new columns are more energy-efficient and cost-effective, replacing older metal and concrete columns. This year’s budget of £45,000 is helping us modernise and brighten our community streets for everyone’s safety.

Edenbridge Town Council streetlights can be identified by a number 0-247 on the column. Streetlights that are managed by Kent Council have letters and numbers.

Vote for Edenbridge in national market awards!

Edenbridge Market – Every Thursday at Market Yard Car Park 8am to 2pm

The National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) has launch its industry awards for 2024. The awards promote what is best in the industry and communities are being asked to nominate a:

•             Market Manager of the Year

•             Market Team of the Year

•             Market Achievement of the Year

•             Young Market Champion of the Year

The awards are sponsored by Blachere Illumination.

There are some wonderful stories from the industry that are deserving of nominations, and we hope you’ll agree that the success of Edenbridge Market over the past few years in terms of growing from a few stalls to around 15 regulars each week, is something to be celebrated!

In 2024, with the difficult times that the high street and many markets are facing, linked to the challenges of local government finance, it is important to shout out loud about markets and market people, and the immense contribution that they make to local communities like Edenbridge.

NOMINATE NOW!

Nominations can be sent to info@nabma.com
Closing date is 31 August

In terms of Market Manager and Team, all that is required at this stage is a nomination. For Market Achievement and Young Market Champion, provide some brief details and NABMA will follow up with enquiries.

Post your letter to Father Christmas!

A message from the Elves to the children of Edenbridge

If you’d like to tell Father Christmas about all the kind things you have done this year, you can send a letter via the festive Edenbridge post box. All mail will get sent 1st class directly on the North Wind from Edenbridge to Mrs Claus (because let’s face it – she’s the one that sorts out all of Santa’s admin for him!) Bring your own letter and pop it in the box – perhaps on the way to/from school – or come along to our North Pole Post Office at Edenbridge Market and craft your letter there – a nice little activity for little ones.

The North Pole letterbox will be at the market on Thursday 30 November as well as 7 and 14 December, 11 am to 1 pm.

*Dear Parents – Father Christmas won’t be able to send a reply, but he hopes this activity will bring some festive happiness to the children of Edenbridge.

Visit Edenbridge Market again on 21 December and we’ll have some token gifts to hand out to all our small letter writers that have posted a letter!
