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.

Kent Gurkha Campaign Goes to the Movies

The producers of the Oscar nominated movie 'Days of Glory' have invited Lib Dem campaigner Peter Carroll and other members of the Gurkha justice campaign to a special preview of the film. The film details the injustices that Arab soldiers suffered in the French Army even though many thousands of them fought and died for France in the Second World War. The producers believe there are strong parallels in the film to the plight of the many thousands of Gurkha veterans who fought and died for Britain over many decades.
