New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
From the 2024 General Election, the Parliamentary Constituency of Folkestone and Hythe will include the District of Folkestone and Hythe wards of Broadmead, Cheriton, East Folkestone, Folkestone Central, Folkestone Harbour, Hythe, Hythe Rural, New Romney, Romney Marsh, Sandgate & West Folkestone, Walland & Denge Marsh.
The electorate will be reduced to bring it within the permitted range by transferring out the North Downs area in the north (North Downs East and North Downs West wards), along with the parts in the Borough of Ashford (Saxon Shore ward), primarily to the reconfigured constituency of Ashford.
Members and supporters of Shepway Lib Dems are welcome to join us at a Folkestone Cream Tea from 3pm - 6pm at 19 Beachborough Road, Folkestone CT19 4AA on Saturday 19th June - and hopefully enjoy the sunshine!
Was up early to catch a coach to Etaples with the Mayoress first thing - an early start isn't (quite!) so bad when the sun is already shining at 6.15am. A quick and easy journey through the Channel Tunnel, with good company, set the scene for the day. Those on the coach were members of The British Legion, Youth Uniformed Organisations and various people involved with the twinning planning and organisation. We had time for a coffee in a café before beginning the ceremonies of the morning - ordering decaf coffee with schoolboy French took a little time!
When we stepped up onto the stage in the precinct to open the Multi-Cultural Festival, I wondered if we had got the time wrong! There were only a people were there to hear the opening speech and to be informed about what was to come during the 4 days of the Folkestone Multi-Cultural Festival. Happily, the town centre soon filled up and the excellent brochure gave all the information that was necessary - and people very much enjoyed the main events!
We are so pleased you want to join the team.
