Your Ashford is an online publication covering Ashford, Kent, and the issues that shape everyday life in the area. We publish news, features and practical guides on transport, property, business, sport and things to do, alongside wider UK developments relevant to our readers.
Our purpose is to help people understand what is happening and what it means for them. Whether a story concerns a change to local services, a housing development or a weekend event, we focus on the details readers need: what, where, when and why it matters.
Ashford sits at the heart of connections between Kent, London and continental Europe. Our coverage reflects both life in the area and the wider developments that affect its residents, businesses and visitors.

Your Ashford works with freelance journalists and contributors on news, features and practical guides. Articles carry author credits so readers can identify the writer responsible for the published work.
We welcome relevant story suggestions and freelance pitches, particularly those offering useful information, a clear local connection or an underreported perspective.
We aim to publish accurate, clear and well-sourced information. Our approach is to identify the sources behind factual reporting, distinguish established facts from allegations and make uncertainty clear when a story is developing.
We seek relevant responses where reporting raises substantive criticism. Opinion and commercial content should be recognisable as such, and paid placements do not determine our editorial conclusions.
Information such as ticket prices, timetables and opening hours can change. Where appropriate, we link to the organisation responsible so readers can check current arrangements.
If you believe we have made an error, please send the article URL, identify the information concerned and include any supporting evidence. We review concerns and correct or clarify published material where appropriate.
