Ashford Parliamentary Constituency
Now covering the Folkestone & Hythe District Council wards of North Downs East and North Downs West
New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
About Ashford Constituency
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.
Janice Watch: Joining with the French National Front?
Rumours are circulating that South-East England MEP (and former UKIP Prospective Parlimentary Candidate for Folkestone and Hythe) Janice Atkinson is poised to join a new far right European Parliamentary group called "Europe of Nations and Freedoms" led by the French Front National and their leader Jean Marie Le Pen.

Looking After Folkestone
I wonder when Shepway Council are planning to clear up the grafitti at the junction of Grace Hill / Shellons Street in Central Folkestone that makes one of the key entrances to the town look just so lovely?
