Cllr Dan Friend

Cllr Dan Friend is the Dover District Councillor for Sandwich and Woodnesborough, and Shadow Cabinet Member for Housing, Skills and Education. He works with residents on local concerns, casework and council-related matters, while championing the people, places and independent businesses that make Sandwich special.

Need help with a local issue? Dan can help residents raise matters with the relevant council service, understand who is responsible, and find a practical route forward. The quickest place to start is the local issue-reporting guide at https://danfriend.co.uk/report. For a councillor enquiry, contact Dan directly by phone, text, WhatsApp or email. Please include your name, postcode, a clear description of the issue and any useful photographs or reference numbers. This is not an emergency service: call 999 in an emergency, or 101 for non-emergency policing.

Dan’s work is rooted in the community. He founded the Sandwich Is Open initiative to help local businesses, organisations, attractions and services be found and supported, and continues to promote a positive, practical voice for the town. His updates cover local news, council issues, community campaigns and ways residents can get involved.
