On Saturday we tried out Co Wheels, a car sharing club with several vehicles ideally situated in Tunbridge Wells and available for as little as £5 an hour. We picked up our Toyota Yaris on Mount Ephraim Road, an automatic hybrid. With one tap of our key card the doors opened and we set off effortlessly - it was that simple!

So, what if we were ready? What if we were Spring ready? When the new year started so many of us hoped that because we “thought" about making change, it would "make” change happen and like any New Years’ resolution we kind of needed it to work more than ever.

Beautiful, well-executed, and thoughtfully designed, we love the homes created by local building company, AMLY. We talk to the Founder, Alex Campbell-Lloyd about navigating a home renovation in a pandemic, how he started in the construction industry, and why it' is so important to have a devoted team of professionals around him….

Our local shops have suffered massively over the past few months, so with that in mind, We pledge to make a greater effort to shop locally. To support our high street businesses and champion the artisans.

It’s tough right now and more than anything we all just want to support each other and get through this time. Please reach out if you need anything, don’t suffer alone - we can connect people and businesses as and when required. With that in mind, we’ve set up ‘Pay it forward’.

It’s simple, genuine offers of support and kindness that will bring positivity and happiness to another person, no money changes hands and we will highlight anyone offering a good deed. Here’s how you get involved...

The TN Card launched in February this year, a local loyalty scheme designed to reward its customers and bring our community together. It’s Founder, Jess Gibson is passionate about bringing independent businesses and individuals together by highlighting unique offers, new brands, and products.
