Hughes in town
Lib Dem President Simon Hughes visited Folkestone today to back Peter Carroll's campaign to beat Michael Howard. Speculation is growing that Mr Howard could lose his seat after 22 years of being our MP.
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.

A succession of top names including Charles Kennedy and Simon Hughes are set to visit our area in the coming weeks to back Peter Carroll's campaign. Other star names include Baroness Shirley Williams and top Agony Aunt Claire Rayner.
The proposed expansion at Lydd airport is likely cause major traffic problems across the Marsh says campaigner Peter Carroll.
