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 car has been written off and traffic island demolished on Sandgate High Street in the earlier hours of Sunday morning. The accident saw the car mount the kerb and plough into the light on the island outside the Shepway Liberal Democrat offices at around 3am.
Responding to the Government announcement today that a third runway at Heathrow airport and a new runway at Stansted are to be built, the Liberal Democrats have attacked the Government's aviation strategy.
Police estimate around 1,000 Gurkhas have arrived in London to march from Parliament Square to hand deliver a letter to the Prime Minister at Downing Street this morning. The Gurkhas are protesting about the Government's failure to properly honour the right for retired Gurkhas to become citizens of the UK on retirement and to protest about the low pensions paid to retired Gurkhas.
