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.
The Liberal Democrats today accused the Tories of hypocrisy, following Conservative complaints that Alistair Darling had stolen their tax policies. Several key proposals announced yesterday, which the Conservatives claimed were their own, had actually originally been proposed by the Liberal Democrats. They include:
Shepway residents could be hit by a threat by British insurers to remove flooding cover from many policies unless the Government steps up spending on flood defences. With many areas of Shepway protected by existing defences, especially Romney Marsh, the impact on local residents and businesses could be devastating.
Local residents were delighted last night plans for the redevelopment of the White Lion site on the junction of Cheriton High Street and Chilham Road, Folkestone, was rejected by Shepway Development Control due to concerns on the impact on parking locally. The plans were for a block for accommodation for 16 students plus 4 terraced houses on Chilham Road.
