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.
Research by Lib Dem campaigner Peter Carroll has revealed that whilst residents of New Romney are having to pay several thousand pounds to connect to the long awaited new mains drainage system, residents in other areas of the UK are getting connection for only a token fee.
Lib Dem Campaigner Peter Carroll has added his voice to the calls for a public inquiry into the proposed expansion of Lydd Airport. There are moves to lengthen the runway and to encourage greater use of the airport by commercial airliners.
The Folkestone and Hythe Extra has confirmed that two wards at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Folkestone are earmarked are earmarked for closure. The Shepway Primary Care Trust which runs the hospital is suggesting the closure of the Fitton and Edinburgh wards and the transfer of the services they provide to Dover.
