The new Kennington Community Council came into legal existence on 1 April 2019. (As a community council the new body has the same powers and duties as any other parish council).

Councillors for the sixteen seats were elected at the same time as the Borough elections 2nd May. The Council holds regular meetings in public, to which residents are encouraged to attend. Full Council meetings are usually on the second Wednesday each month and are held in the St Mary's Community Centre. Kennington Community Council has also established five committees to divide the work and manage its business: the Finance and General Purposes Committee; Personnel and Development Committee; Planning Committee; Communications Committee; Environment and Open Spaces Committee

The Kennington Community Council boundary borders the parish of Wye and includes the four urban wards of Kennington, Bockhanger, Bybrook, Conningbrook and Little Burton Farm, the current planning application areas (Big Burton and East Mountain Lane) and part of Goat Lees Ward.

There are five wards in Kennington Community Council: Bybrook (4 councillors); Grosvenor Hall (4 councillors); Kennington (4 councillors); Kennington North (1 councillor); Little Burton Farm (3 councillors).

Neighbourhood Plan for Boughton Aluph, Eastwell and Goat Lees

Our Plan: Our Future

A creative group of mixed communities which are safe and foster wellbeing and opportunities for all through sustainable, eco-efficient, high tech future use of land and development whilst preserving the proportions and strengths of existing settlement patterns and landscapes through the careful interweaving of the historic and the new.

The National Rural Crime Network is working to see greater recognition and understanding of the problems and impact of crime in rural areas so more can be done to keep people safer. Funded by the Home Office, the National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) looks at innovative ways to reduce crime in rural areas, provides information and support for rural communities, and shares best practice.

The impacts of rural crime are many and varied, and the Network believes that the scale, cost, social impact and other effects of crime in rural areas are underestimated, under-reported and not fully understood. Consequently, the Network is concerned with all crime and anti-social behaviour occurring in rural areas and recognises that the challenges and solutions are often different to those in cities and urban areas.

Rural crime includes problems typically associated with the countryside such as wildlife and heritage crime, farm equipment and animal thefts. However, there have been very substantial increases in fraud and other scams, with criminals deliberately targeting isolated, vulnerable people.
