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.
Dog owners are being warned to keep their pets off beaches where a dog beach ban is in force. Dogs are banned from seven local beaches between 1 May and 30 September but Shepway Council has received lots of complaints about owners flouting the ban.
Shepway Lib Dems are leading the way online locally as one of the first sites to be using TV on their web site. The local Lib Dems have already featured a video introduction from Party leader Ming Campbell on the front page of the web site at www.shepwaylibdems.org.uk, and have just released a presentation from Tom Brake MP, explaining the Lib Dem campaign to replace Council Tax with a Local Income Tax.
An open letter signed by 14 out of 18 Folkestone Town Councillors has slammed the cleaning of local streets, claiming "Shepway Council are failing to keep our streets clean."
