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.
The Audit Commission have agreed that the Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) re-assessment of Shepway Council can go ahead early next year. Shepway were classified as a "Weak" Council in 2004.
For many businesses, Christmas is the peak period and this means more customers on the premises, increased stock levels, festive decorations and the employment of extra staff to cope with the rush. With this in mind, Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is reminding businesses about their duties under the new fire safety legislation.
