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.
In the light of the closure or threat of closure to a number of Post Offices across Shepway, local Lib Dem Peter Carroll has written to the Post Office regulator PostWatch. Offices affected include Sandgate, Horn Street and the Park Road Office in Hythe.
Local Lib Dem campaigner Peter Carroll has written to the Manager of Folkestone Sports Centre asking if the womens only swimming sessions at the Folkestone Swimming Pool can be continued through the school holidays. Currently, these special sessions are withdrawn during school vacations. The letter is in response to a request from a number of local lady swimmers who think it is unfair that the service is suspended.
Post Offices in Sandgate and Horn Street are the latest to face closure in our area. Hundreds of local people will be affected by the closures.
