Folkestone & Hythe District Council is the local government authority for the Folkestone & Hythe district in England, delivering a range of public services and guiding local governance. It operates within the Government Administration sector and serves residents and local businesses by shaping housing, economic development, environmental quality, health, and financial stability. The council is made up of residents' elected representatives; 30 councillors are chosen every four years to set priorities and make decisions that are often debated in public meetings. The day-to-day operations are led by a chief executive and heads of departments, with staff carrying out services. Based in Folkestone, Kent, the council maintains ongoing partnerships and initiatives to deliver on its objectives, such as collaborations related to housing and regeneration and environmental programs. A notable development in 2026 was a joint initiative with Homes England Careers, following a renewed collaboration between the council and Homes England to support housing and regeneration activities.
