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.
Shepway Liberal Democrats have learned that a number of staff members at struggling South Kent College have received letters offering them the option to apply for voluntary redundancy in the past few weeks.
The damaged base of a streetlight in Sandgate Road Folkestone, close to the barriers blocking car access, has been repaired having been reported by local Lib Dem campaigner Gary Fuller. The streetlight had a number of exposed wires and some potentially sharp edges that could be reached by a young child.
