Borden

About

Borden is a village and electoral ward situated immediately south west of Sittingbourne, Kent.

Farming in the area is the main industry, although this has been in decline for many years due to the 'scrubbing; of most of the cherry and other fruit orchards

Today the village is growing with new houses and has greater ties with Sittingbourne. Many residents now commute to major towns or London to work.
