One of the notable activities that will be accessible to all groups is the opening of a One You shop in Park Mall Ashford. The aim of the shop is to make healthy lifestyle advice and support accessible to people in Ashford. Multi-agency partners are working collaboratively to ensure resources are available to provide the best lifestyle outcomes for people in Ashford. | |

| 8. | Kent faces unprecedented growth and change over the coming decades. Kent Environment Strategy 2015: A strategy for environment health and economy recognises and addresses the challenges and opportunities that this will bring.It is essential that growth is managed intelligently providing much needed economic benefits whilst still protecting and enhancing our natural and historic environment to create and sustain communities that are vibrant healthy and resilient.An associated environmental factor to which this strategy impacts is local air quality. Generally Ashford’s air quality is considered to be ‘good’ however given continued and planned growth within the borough it is important at a minimum to retain that standard. Where possible it should be an aim to reduce the effect of harmful pollutants to minimise public health impacts. |
