Thanet is a great place to live and work...
Our historic seaside towns of Ramsgate, Margate Broadstairs and surrounding villages are rich in heritage and opportunity.

Our proximity to the port of Dover and the Eurotunnel at Folkestone means Europe is literally on our doorstep, too.

All of this, combined with a flexible approach to how we work makes it an exciting time to join Thanet District Council. We have set our sights high. We want our residents to enjoy the highest quality services. We want to ensure that by listening to local people, working in active partnership and doing things in an innovative way, we can accelerate improvement to meet the challenges ahead.
