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.
A sad indictment of Folkestone's roads and pathways
I'd like to thank Kent Highways for suggesting on February 26th that I report the faults I'd observed. They will be pleased to know that I reported them on February 18th using their online system. Given their response to the streetlights issue, I think it's pertinent to mention that the bus stop in that report wasn't fixed by the time the Herald went to print eight days later.
