Have your say
We think that those who know most about how to improve a service are those that actually use it. That is why we put consultation so high in our mission to improve services.
If we have an accurate picture of the needs and wants of people in the Borough we can tailor our services to meet the needs of the community.
We also have to consult with local people on a number of specific things such as planning applications, plus certain plans and strategies.
Current consultations
- Pedestrianisation consultation
Share your views on the pedestrianisation of Dartford High Street. We want our streets to be a safe space for everyone, for businesses to be able to flourish, for children to get to and from school safely and healthily, so our street markets can thrive and visitors can shop and have fun.
- Community safety priorities (Closes Sunday, March 2)
We want your views on how crime and disorder affects you and what you feel are priorities within your neighbourhood. This will help develop the 2025-2028 Community Safety Strategy.

Consultation and Engagement Strategy
The Council has a strategy which sets out the principles and standards which it will adhere to in terms of involving local people in the design and delivery of services.
