Company activities and impact

The community of importance to RTW Town Forum are those who live in Royal Tunbridge Wells or nearby. Commencing, just before the end of the Company’s financial year 30th September 2024, this CIC has provided the legal corporate basis to support the previous unincorporated RTW Town Forum. The Directors believe that providing the legal framework for the RTW Town Forum falls well within the overall objectives of the CIC. Following the change in political control of the Borough Council May 2023 this CIC and the previous unincorporated RTW Town Forum, no longer receive any financial support from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council (TWBC). The activities of the Company have been dominated by the proposed reorganisation of local government in Kent. This is likely to result in two major developments for RTW residents. As a result the CIC has concentrated it’s efforts in supporting residents in the potential creation of a Town Council. Directors and the RTW Town Forum management group have worked to assess the impact on residents and advise fellow residents of the possible consequences on them and RTW as a whole. This has included various meetings, the production of leaflets and the running of a stall at a public street festival.

Consultation with stakeholders

During the year covered by this report, the directors sought the opinion of residents, asking them their views regarding the local authority changes, particularly the need for and extent of a RTW Town Council. Visitors to our stall were also asked to vote regarding their wish or otherwise for the creation of a RTW Town Council. Two prises (free rides on a Christmas train’ in RTW – as donated by the RTW Together CIC) were offered as raffle prises to those that ’voted’.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
