Firms looking for retail, office or industrial space in Ashford can now search a new online service.

Launched by Ashford Borough Council, it is designed to allow firms to search council-owned properties available to rent.

It includes links to the AshfordFor site which also lists non-council commercial property to rent or buy.

Visitors will be able to search by property type, length of tenure, premises size and dimensions and also address.

Cllr Paul Clokie, Ashford Borough Council’s portfolio holder for corporate property, said: “The development of this online platform helps the council to showcase its available properties, ensuring we maximise revenues to fund the services we provide our residents.

"It also enables businesses to find appropriate sites in the best places at highly competitive rates.”
