Maidstone Borough Council is a local government authority in Maidstone, England, operating in the government administration sector and employing 201-500 people. The council's Strategic Plan 2019-2045 sets out a vision for a borough that works for residents, visitors and workers, with goals to expand jobs, meet housing needs, and provide infrastructure, while the council leads master planning and invests to deliver high-quality housing and employment opportunities. Maidstone Borough has a mixed economy with strengths in professional services and construction, a growing media sector led by Maidstone Studios and the Kent Messenger Group, and higher education activity centered on Mid Kent College and the University for the Creative Arts seeking to broaden courses and facilities. Residents in the borough have relatively high wages, though many high earners commute out of the borough. In recent years the council has pursued initiatives and received recognition, including development of the next Local Plan, and awards such as the 2026 Data Linking Award with Swale Borough Council and a Wilder Kent Awards Gold Award for biodiversity and climate actions, alongside collaborations like Swift Streets to protect swift colonies.
