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.
Liberal Democrat South East Region MEP Sharon Bowles is playing host to more than 30 Liberal Democrats from the Shepway area this Monday. The trip from Folkestone will be visiting Brussels and will then visit the European Parliament building itself on Monday, before returning to the UK.
Folkestone Town Council has backed a motion proposed by Lib Dem Councillor and Deputy Mayor Emily Sanger calling on Kent County Council (KCC) to work with all interested parties to see the restoration of museum status to Folkestone. The KCC run and owned Folkestone Museum lost its museum registration this month, and it has been downgraded to a "History Resource Centre".
Folkestone Sports Centre Trust won an £57,403 slice of good cause cash from the Big Lottery Fund's regional People's Millions contest. ITV Meridian South East viewers voted for the project to win the award after a nail biting head-to-head contest for community votes screened on Tuesday on ITV Meridian South East regional news.
