Beaver is an electoral ward in the borough of Ashford, in Kent, England. It occupies a compact, mainly urban part of the town and is characterised by a predominance of residential streets, local shops and pockets of green space that serve the surrounding neighbourhood.
Locally the ward functions as a community focus within the wider growth of Ashford, with a mix of housing types and a population engaged in the town’s economy and services; it returns councillors to the borough council and tends to be concerned with everyday issues such as housing, transport links and neighbourhood amenities rather than high-profile landmarks. Historically it developed as part of Ashford’s 20th‑century expansion, so its character is a blend of older terraces and later suburban housing with a modest civic identity.
