Tim Prater Reporting Back from KCC: November 2026
As a Councillor I try to be properly responsive to communication and WILL reply to casework, questions etc (as long as they are polite!). Although voicemail, Messenger, WhatsApp and the rest I try to keep on top of, the best will be to email to me, preferably to tim@prater.uk from where I can send it to the correct one of my 5 Councillor email accounts for action!
If you haven't had a reply back from me in a couple of WORKING days please come back to me (the person that emailed me New Years Day with a casework peeve some years ago did get a reply that day, but my Christmas holidays have improved since!). Certainly if you've had no reply at all in 4 working days, please do check the address you sent it to and re contact me - that's not the way I roll, so something may have gone awry. Finally, although I answer to Mr Prater, Cllr and a few other names, I'd much prefer Tim!
An update from me goes through (almost) all doors in the division 3 times a year, but you can also find more regular updates from me online at http://www.prater.uk/ and https://www.facebook.com/timprater
Finally - sign up on the form at the bottom of https://www.fhld.uk/news/prater to receive monthly Councillor Updates from me and the Lib Dem team in Folkestone & Hythe. It's fast and free! This will sign you up only to local news from the area, NOT campaigns and campaigning events.
November 2026 Action List
Full Kent County Council meeting 5th November. I'll be moving changes to the terms of reference of the Kent Health and Wellbeing Board as I did in October at the Selection and Member Services Committee. Lets see if I have more success there than I did last month (when I had change proposals voted down 8 times in 10 minutes).
Growth, Environment & Transport Cabinet Committee on 10th November.
Agreed a £1,000 Combined Members Grant to Salus UK for the Hythe Youth Centre.
