Domestic abuse

If you are in immediate danger at any time of the day or night you should dial 999 to ask for Police assistance.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse and want advice and assistance regarding your housing situation, please contact the Housing Needs team on 01892 526121 or by email to housingadvice@tunbridgewells.gov.uk. Initially, we can offer you advice on your housing options, and we can do this over the telephone, at the Amelia. We can send any correspondence to a friend or family member’s address if you would like us to do so.
