About Kent Local News

Kent Local News is a dedicated digital news service covering communities across Kent and the surrounding region. Launched to fill the gap left by declining local press, we provide daily coverage of the stories that matter most to Kent residents - from council decisions and crime reports to health updates, traffic disruptions, and community events. Our team works to deliver accurate, timely reporting that keeps local people informed about what is happening on their doorstep.

We cover a wide range of topics that affect everyday life in Kent, including local government and council affairs, NHS and health services, crime and policing, education, transport and road networks, housing and planning, and the local economy. Whether it is a major development in Maidstone, a school closure in Canterbury, or flooding in Tonbridge, we aim to be the first place Kent residents turn to for reliable local information.

In addition to our website, Kent Local News publishes video reports on YouTube and maintains an active presence on social media including X, Facebook, and Instagram. We welcome news tips, story leads, and community contributions from anyone across the county. If you have a story that deserves attention, get in touch with our editorial team by email or phone and we will do our best to cover it.
