New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
From the 2024 General Election, the Parliamentary Constituency of Ashford will (pretty ridiculously, in our opinion) include the District of Folkestone and Hythe wards of North Downs East and North Downs West, in addtion to the Ashford Borough Council seats of:
Aylesford & East Stour, Beaver, Bircholt, Bockhanger, Bybrook, Conningbrook & Little Burton Farm, Furley, Goat Lees, Godinton, Highfield, Kennington, Mersham, Sevington South with Finberry, Norman, Park Farm North, Park Farm South, Repton, Roman, Singleton East, Singleton West, Stanhope, Victoria, Washford, Willesborough, Wye with Hinxhill.
The Ashford seat therefore stretches pretty much to the coast, across an area that in no way could be called Ashford: Ashford and North Downs, maybe.
Kent County Council would like to hear your views on a proposal to close Pent Valley Technology College. It is proposed that the school closes for current Years 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 from 31 August 2016 and that the current Year 10 pupils remain on site until July 2017 to complete their GCSE studies. It is proposed that Pent Valley Technology College closes permanently from 31 August 2017.
The Green Liberal Democrats have been working on a "Keep it in the Ground" motion which is now finalised and ready to be submitted to federal conference committee (by Jan 13th) for inclusion in the agenda for York in March. There is a good chance the motion will be debated if submitted: the Party Conference Committee specifically asked for a definitive motion, two regions passed a similar motion in November, and Tim Farron wants this policy!
