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 campaigner Gary Fuller, who recently tackled a Shepway Council officer on the issue of visible policing, expressed his shock at discovering that, according to Kent Police's own figures, over 20% (1 in 5) of all crimes committed in Shepway occur in Harvey Central Ward, which has only one community police officer for over four-and-a-half-thousand people.
Shepway Lib Dems Season Prater and Darren Briddock have been elected to the South East Liberal Democrats Regional Executive. The elections took place at the South East Region Conference in Effingham near Leatherhead in Surrey, and saw Season elected as the Secretary of South East region for 2007, and Darren elected as Regional Treasurer.
According to new research by the Liberal Democrats, Shepway emits 920.2 thousand tonnes of Carbon Dioxide per year - 9.4 tonnes per person in the area per year - slightly above the UK average of 9.3 tonnes per person.
