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.
Folkestone Councillor Tim Prater has put a motion to the forthcoming Shepway District Council meeting asking that in future, local residents get a say in where grants from the Council should go.
Hythe residents have slammed the decision of Conservative Shepway Council to ignore Hythe Town Council and vote through the Hythe Imperial Development. After the Shepway vote, Hythe Councillor Richard Carroll resigned the Council and Conservative Party, slamming the decision as "hypocrisy".
Off-peak fares on Southeastern services from Kent will soar by 7.3% in 2010. The massive hike in unregulated fares is almost 9% above the inflation rate, and almost 5 times the increase to be applied to regulated fares such as Season tickets and anytime single and return fares.
