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.
Our annual conference - my first as leader - is due to start in Bournemouth in less than three days' time. I want to tell you about some of the exciting things that are going to take place.
Fast food giant Burger King are coming to Bouverie Place in Central Folkestone, adding to their other branches at Cherry Garden Avenue and the Eurotunnel Cheriton Terminal food court.
Cheriton Councillor Peter Carroll has received an undertaking from Shepway Council that they will be sending a team to clear up and cut the 'buffer strip' at the rear of houses in Naseby Avenue in Cheriton and that they will revisit the idea of allowing tenants to make use of the land under some form of notional lease.
We are so pleased you want to join the team.
If you already know how you would like to help, let us know below, if not then you can skip those questions and hit the big yellow 'I'm in' button and someone will be in contact. Thank you.
Every penny of the Liberal Democrats campaign across Folkestone and Hythe disitrct will be from donations from our supporters and members.
Every pound we get will strength our campaign.
