About

Tovil is a residential ward situated directly south of Maidstone's town centre, separated by the River Medway. The area is primarily characterised by housing estates and local amenities, with a mix of property types from post-war homes to more recent developments. Its proximity to the river and the main A229 road provides a clear geographical link to the wider borough, while maintaining a distinct community focus with its own shops and services.

The ward is notable for its historical connection to the paper industry, with the former Tovil Mills site serving as a lasting physical reminder along the riverbank. Much of the area's layout and housing were developed to accommodate workers from these industries. Today, it functions as a practical suburb, with green spaces like Tovil Recreation Ground offering local leisure space amidst the urban setting.
