Claimant Count tracker: Folkestone & Dover
I've brought together "claimant count" statistics for Shepway and Dover Local Authorities for 2014, 2013 & 2012 in the chart below.
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.

Local Lib Dem Gary Fuller has reacted with disappointment that Kent County Council are unwilling to act on road safety fears along a narrow stretch of Sandgate High Street. Gary reported the issue to UKIP County Councillor Hod Birkby, who forwarded a Kent County Council Highways, Transportation & Waste officer's response.
Local Lib Dem Gary Fuller is calling for action to deal with a narrow area of Sandgate High Street (A259) after a bus collided with a parked car on Monday. A double decker bus, a 102 travelling from Lydd to Folkestone, hit the parked car soon after the owner had left the vehicle at around 12.45pm. The bus caused damage to the rear of the vehicle, denting the wheel arch.
