I was first elected to represent Swalecliffe in 1976 and Chestfield in 1995 and have twice served as Lord Mayor of Canterbury.

A retired police officer, married with two adult children and five grandchildren, I have lived and worked in our district for 45 years.

Born in Whitstable and educated at Simon Langton Grammar School in Canterbury, Ashley retired from Kent County Constabulary in 2004 as Head of its Frontier Operations Department following some 30 years' service much of which was spent working alongside French counterparts.

I want to encourage people to work together for Whitstable and all who live here, whether native, 'outsider', young or old

I live in Adisham with my wife and four children and work as a retail manager for the country's leading supermarket chain.

I have been the City Councillor for North Nailbourne for the past four years so I know many of the issues that face our communities.

I hope only to be a good councillor, one who can be counted on to work hard for the people of Whitstable

I have lived and worked here for 10 years with my wife Julie. We have three grown-up daughters and four grandchildren 

I have lived in St Stephen's ward for 10 years and represented neighbouring Northgate from 2007 to 2011

I have lived in St Stephen's ward for almost 40 years and represented residents as a councillor since 2011.
