Gardening in Weald of Kent

Weald of Kent is a rural seat of villages and small towns. It takes in Tenterden, Charing, Biddenden and the Isle of Oxney. Further west are Headcorn, Staplehurst, Marden, Coxheath, Cranbrook and Hawkhurst. Three borough councils collect garden waste here, and their prices differ. Kent County Council runs the tips, all of which are in the towns just outside the seat.1 2 3 4 5 6
