Bayle Residents Association

Welcome to the The Bayle Residents Association

Making a better place to live and work for over 50 years

We are a diverse community association of over 115 members, founded in 1970, who are proud of our heritage and history and actively seeking to improve our local area in Folkestone. We look out for each other and enjoy living and working in this unique location in this beautiful seaside town. Our members come from all walks of life and professions and we welcome new members who would like to join our close and caring community. We have an active calendar of social events throughout the year and a strong Neighbourhood Watch, working closely with the police and council to improve the quality of lives of our residents.

You do not have to live in The Bayle to be a member. Our membership is open to those residents living and working in The Bayle, Bayle Street (including Glendale House), The Parade, Bayle Court, Bail Steps, Church Street and Priory Gardens.
