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.
Hythe South campaigner Darren Briddock attended a public meeting on Thursday held by Kent Police Authority and Shepway Council and was reassured by a commitment to work across agencies to crack down on crime in Hythe.
The NO2ID pledge has now been signed by over 9,700 people, less than 300 short of it's target, just one month after it was started. That means that over £97,000 has been raised for a legal defence fund should the ID bill become law. Shepway No2ID campaigners Darren Briddock, Sam Matthews and Tim Prater have all signed the pledge and are urging other local residents to do so as well.
Local Liberal Democrats are calling on Shepway Council to buy equipment that will help tackle graffiti. The Lib Dem group have put forward a motion to the 20 July Shepway Council meeting calling for a new graffiti busting machine to be bought.
