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.

A letter from the Chair of the East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust to the Liberal Democrats has revealed that the Trust is considering the future of the Derry Unit Urology services at the Royal Victoria. The letter was in response to local campaigner Tim Prater, who had asked if the Trust would guarantee the future of all services at the site after the announcement that the main RVH building was being considered for sale.
The Campaign to Save OUR Royal Victoria has secured a pledge from the East Kent Hospital Trust that most key services currently available at the RVH will continue to be available in Folkestone. The pledge has been welcomed by hospital campaigner Lynne Beaumont, but fears remain that the full story is not being told. The public meeting announced for 9 January will go ahead to ensure concerned local residents are given all the information available at the allow local people to have their say on the future of the hospital.
Shepway Liberal Democrats have called a public meeting to give local people an opportunity to protest about the possible selling off of the Victorian parts of the Royal Victoria Hospital. The meeting will be held on Tuesday 9th January 2007 at 7.00pm in St Johns Church, St Johns Church Road in Folkestone.
