The Central Ashford Community Forum (CACF) was set up in 2005 with the support of Ashford Borough Council to represent the views of the residents of the area. The Forum holds meetings every month, with public meetings in February, May and October which include a presentation on a current topic affecting the Central Ashford Area. The Forum is made up of up to 16 Trustees who are elected annually at the AGM. The Trustees are assisted by an officer of Ashford Borough Council.
