New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
From the 2024 General Election, the Parliamentary Constituency of Folkestone and Hythe will include the District of Folkestone and Hythe wards of Broadmead, Cheriton, East Folkestone, Folkestone Central, Folkestone Harbour, Hythe, Hythe Rural, New Romney, Romney Marsh, Sandgate & West Folkestone, Walland & Denge Marsh.
The electorate will be reduced to bring it within the permitted range by transferring out the North Downs area in the north (North Downs East and North Downs West wards), along with the parts in the Borough of Ashford (Saxon Shore ward), primarily to the reconfigured constituency of Ashford.
The Government has launched the Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme to help householders across the country with funding towards the cost of installing renewable heating systems. The new £15 million initiative, which opens to applications today, will support up to 25,000 installations.
The Home Office has announced a new fund to stimulate innovative approaches to tackling community safety problems. They are looking for local groups to come up with creative new solutions to the crime issues that matter to them. The fund will be available to local people and voluntary sector organisations, and are particularly keen for the fund to reach grass roots community activists.
NatWest CommunityForce is offering three community projects in the area the chance to win awards of £6,000 each. Local residents will then have the chance to vote for the projects that will benefit the area most.
