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.
Folkestone Councillor Tim Prater has put a motion to the forthcoming Shepway District Council meeting asking that in future, local residents get a say in where grants from the Council should go.
Hythe residents have slammed the decision of Conservative Shepway Council to ignore Hythe Town Council and vote through the Hythe Imperial Development. After the Shepway vote, Hythe Councillor Richard Carroll resigned the Council and Conservative Party, slamming the decision as "hypocrisy".
Off-peak fares on Southeastern services from Kent will soar by 7.3% in 2010. The massive hike in unregulated fares is almost 9% above the inflation rate, and almost 5 times the increase to be applied to regulated fares such as Season tickets and anytime single and return fares.
