Broadmead is an electoral ward in the district of Folkestone and Hythe in Kent, England. It sits within the urban area of Folkestone and is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian and post‑war housing, local shops, schools and small green spaces that give it a community feel.
Residents benefit from regular road and rail links into the town and beyond, and the local economy ties into tourism, logistics and the creative sector; the ward has also felt the positive effects of Folkestone's recent cultural regeneration, including the Creative Quarter and festivals. Historically part of a Victorian seaside town with later 20th‑century development, today the area is socially mixed with active community groups shaping neighbourhood life.
