Tim Prater Reporting Back from KCC: April 2026
The April 2026 monthly update from Tim Prater as County Councillor for Cheriton, Sandgate and Hythe East.
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.

District Councillors have backed a £667,000 package to help residents facing hardship, to support the voluntary sector and to allow more people across the district to improve their health through physical activity.
Folkestone Town Council are delighted to confirm that agreement has been reached, subject to contract, to acquire 2 Grace Hill, securing the long-term future of this much-loved building as a community asset.
