Hello digitalservices@tunbridgewells.gov.uk
Here is your weekly update from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council

Microworld at the Amelia ScottGet ready to enter a world like no other - you are invited to be a part of this unique interactive and immersive experience.
Created by Genetic Moo, Microworlds are digital ecosystems where you are invited to become part of the artwork. Get ready to enter a world filled with digital creatures! Explore and discover a range of creatures and see how they respond to you and your movements and to each other. Sensors in the space search for changes in movement and help create an ever-changing collaborative artwork.

Ps - it's also Volunteer Week (1-7 June) and the Amelia will be celebrating their volunteers through short videos. If you are interested in volunteering, find out more on the website | | |

Housing Register ChangesThe way you apply for the housing register is temporarily changing from 1 June 2023 whilst we move to a new housing system and a new look website.
For a period of one month from 1 June applicants will not be able to login to their current housing register account and no properties will be advertised.
Our Housing Allocations Scheme is also changing, following a period of consultation late last year. This is so that our scheme complies with current legislation and to help make sure that the limited supply social housing within the borough is allocated to households most in need.
This means that we are asking ALL existing applicants on the housing register to reapply from 1 June, and will be assessing applications in line with our new Allocation Scheme.
The new website for applications is https://reregister.kenthomechoice.org.uk/ and will be available from 1 June for existing or new applicants to apply for the housing register.
The new Allocations Scheme is also now available online. | | | |

Got an awkward or bulky item to dispose of? Our bulky waste collection service will remove heavy or large items too big to fit in your bin. Book your collection online. To visit the household waste recycling centre at North Farm you must book a slot in advance using the Kent County Council (KCC) booking system. | | | |
