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.
Yesterday I was proud to be at the Government Dispatch Box in the House of Commons moving a motion in support of a Queen's Speech that committed to delivering long cherished Liberal Democrat policies.
It is a great pleasure to share in the celebrations of the people of Folkestone, and especially for someone who has lived here so long. The Mayoress and I were invited by the family of Lillian, known as Mary, to share the joy of her 100th birthday. I'm not sure who was more surprised when we met: Mary for the fact that the Mayor was kneeling at her feet to wish her a Happy Birthday, or us as we walked in to see her in full Salvation Army uniform which is still in good condition after 80 years!
If you have considered becoming a foster carer or would just like to know a little more about it then a forthcoming event is a good way to decide if it is right for you. Kent County Council's Fostering Service is hosting an information evening at 7pm on Tuesday 15 June at Alexander Centre, Preston Street, Faversham.
We are so pleased you want to join the team.
