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 Folkestone Herald reports that mobile speed cameras will be operating in Shepway next week. The vehicles will be in the district on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday week commencing 15th May.
The Local Education Authority is planning to put a proposal to Conservative Kent Council Council to "merge" Harcourt and Morehall Primary Schools in Folkestone onto the Morehall School site (effectively closing Harcourt).
Figures obtained under the Freedom of information Act by the Campaign Against the Arms trade (CAAT) showed Kent's local authority pension funds invested almost £9 million in arms manufacturers in 2005.
