The Bayle Residents Association
The Bayle Residents Association has been in existence for 50 years, working with our community in and around the oldest part of Folkestone to support everyone in enjoying life to the full.
We are linked with a partnership of residents’ associations, called simply AFRA – the Association of Folkestone Residents Associations. AFRA works through a grouping of association representatives to address issues of common interest and help promote the many positive facets of living in our town.
Take a look at our local history pages, compiled by local experts to provide a guide to this unique part of Folkestone
Our local Neighbourhood Watch involves all of us in keeping an eye open for any anti-social behaviour or criminal activity which would detract from our quality of life.
Our website includes local links and useful information about how to solve problems or get advice.
