West Kent and Sevenoaks District Council are celebrating this year's Rural Housing Week with a free event in Leigh village green on Friday 6 July, 10am-12 noon.

  • A 'Shop Safe Stay Safe' ID scheme at the village shop and hairdressers by Tom Tungendhat MP
  • An 'Age simulation suit'- giving wearers the chance to understand the impairments affecting older people
  • Advice from West Kent's housing officers
