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.
A regular email of recent press stories and updates from Shepway District Council DOESN'T get sent to the Leader of the Lib Dem opposition group on the Council, but DOES get sent to the local Conservative Agent!
The most recent edition of the Folkestone People's History Centre Newsletter is now available. The newsletter has an update on the ongoing discussions on the conversion of the Town Museum to a "History Resource Centre", the progress on the Heritage Lottery Fund bid for 'Folkestone: A Town Unearthed', and articles on the Porter Album, Folkestone Harbour Station and forthcoming events.
Lib Dem New Romney Coast Councillor Val Loseby has been pushing for Shepway Council action over the increasing number of large and intrusive lights being erected at Lydd Airport (LAA). After months of correspondence, the Planning Department has now written to the airport - asking them to confirm if the airport believe they need planning permission for the lights!
