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.
In May, The Liberal Democrats took control of Folkestone Town Council, winning 11 of the 18 seats. Taking control has given us the chance to make sure we follow through on our promise to make Folkestone Greener, and in the first few months have got off to a flying start!
New research from Halifax Estate Agents highlights that 20 university towns across the UK recorded an increase in house prices of 20% or more over the past year, close to double the nationwide increase of 11%. With University Centre Folkestone due to welcome its first degree students in September, many believe local property prices are likely to be boosted further.
New Romney Coast Lib Dem Councillor Val Loseby will be holding her next surgery on Saturday 18th August. The surgery, for New Romney Coast residents to raise any problems they may have directly with her, will be from 10-12 noon at the Assembly Rooms (in the Foyer area), Church Approach, New Romney.
