Freedom of Information: A Direct Appeal from Ming Campbell MP
This Friday the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill will once again be debated on the floor of the House of Commons.
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.
This Friday the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill will once again be debated on the floor of the House of Commons.
Hundreds of people have returned petition forms against the proposed closure of Folkestone Post Office. A few weeks ago the Post Office announced that Folkestone Post Office is to be closed, with services will be moved to a new "franchise" based at WHSmith in Sandgate Road - unless a public consultation can change their mind.
The owners of missing Folkestone dog Bracken have thanked all those who helped the hunt for their missing terrier. After a call from Aylesham, Bracken has been reunited with her family, seemingly fine but needing a good meal.
We are so pleased you want to join the team.
