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.
There are currently two by-elections pending in Kent. On 21st June there is a by-election in Meopham North Ward of Gravesham Borough Council, and on 12 July, a by-election for the Maidstone North East Division of Kent County Council, following the death of Lib Dem Councillor Margaret Featherstone.
Shepway Lib Dems are delighted to congratulate former Shepway Lib Dem Election Agent Shaun Roberts and former Constituency Organiser Miranda Piercy, who were married in Disneyworld, Florida last Thursday, 24 May. The wedding took place in the lakeside wedding pavilion overlooking the Magical Kingdom, and the happy couple were joined by close friends and family.
