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 Shadow Children, Schools and Families Secretary, David Laws MP, has welcomed the Government's U-Turn on its proposals to impose a 5% 'tax' on school cash balances. The Government today announced in a parliamentary statement that the proposed claw back of school finances would no longer be implemented.
A £7m scheme to upgrade junction 10 of the M20 at Ashford, Kent to allow it to cope with increased traffic from new homes has been completed. The scheme involved the widening and creation of extra lanes and the construction of a new bridge.
