Ashford Parliamentary Constituency

Now covering the Folkestone & Hythe District Council wards of North Downs East and North Downs West

New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.

About Ashford Constituency

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.

Folkestone Gallery commissions H G Wells inspired art

In support of the Folkestone Book Festival the Neville Pundole Gallery has specially commissioned pieces by several artists, inspired by the works of H. G. Wells. The exhibition is comprised of works in Pottery, Glass and Paint; all drawing their influence from not only Wells' more famous works such as "The War of the Worlds" and "The Time Machine", but also "The Sea Lady… a Tissue of Moonshine" which Wells wrote whilst living in Folkestone.

National Bus Pass Scheme to become Kent Responsibility in 2011

Folkestone Councillor Tim Prater has been told that responsibility for the national bus pass scheme will pass from District Councils to Kent and Medway Councils from April 2011. The news came in response to an email from Tim Prater to Kent County Cabinet member for Transport Nick Chard asking for Kent to consider taking on the responsibility which will have cost Shepway District Council around £1 million in the last two years.
