Welcome to dartfordmessenger.co.uk.

The team of journalists and correspondents are here to bring you up to the minute information from across Dartford and surrounding areas.

Every day our team of journalists and photographers cover a large number of stories, from breaking news to grassroots community events.

Now you can access the articles all day, every day, to keep up to date with what’s happening in the heart of your community.

And we want you to be part of it. This site is interactive, inviting you to have your say on the burning issues of the day with our Speak Out and easy-to-use online polls.

Our regularly updated picture of the day feature is a showcase for our area and we are inviting you to submit your images which capture the essence of our diverse region. You can email your contributions to us at dartfordonline@thekmgroup.co.uk

And don't forget your award-winning Dartford Messenger is available every Thursday from newsagents, supermarkets, petrol stations and other outlets in which we continue to provide a comprehensive local news, leisure and sport service, plus jobs, property, motors and much much more.

We hope you like the new site and visit us regularly.

Thank you for taking the trouble to find us and we hope you will keep coming back.
