The [[CASwiki places|aim of this page]] is to recognise, celebrate and encourage the self-empowerment of community agency networks ([[Citizens Action Network handbook|CANs]]) and community groups across Malling.
West Malling is an historic mediaeval market town based in West [[Kent]], with a hinterland consisting of the parishes of Addington; Birling; East Malling; Kings Hill; Larkfield; Leybourne; Mereworth; Offham; Ryarsh; Trottiscliffe.
{{Location data
| location = West Malling, Kent, United Kingdom
| coordinates = 51° 17' 43.45" N, 0° 24' 34.06" E
}}
The area is unusual in that East Malling, Larkfield and Kings Hill are substantial communities with their own shops and facilities – however they provide the main commercial and industrial estates, leaving West Malling as a traditional market town offering retail shops, services and hospitality to the surrounding area. There are more than 500 businesses in the Malling area.
{{Newslist|location=Malling|year=2023}}
The parishes are within the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council (offices at Kings Hill). The town is actually closer to Maidstone, County Town of Kent, than to Tonbridge; however both are substantial centres within easy reach of West Malling. <ref>[[wikia:sca21:MAP Action plan 2009-2011#Introduction]]</ref>
