Shepway Lib Dem Party Chairman Tim Prater has written to the Head of the Labour Local Government Unit to ask her views on Folkestone and Hythe's Labour Party's recent attack on Folkestone Town Council.
The Cheriton by-election on 23 March will be amongst the last ever held under current local election polling hours (8am-9pm). Parliament has voted to extend local election polling hours to be the same as those for general elections - 7am to 10pm.
Tim Prater has thanked Cheriton residents for their support of the "Truck Off" campaign to reduce lorry parking on Cheriton High Street opposite Tesco's. The campaign has been running for 2 weeks, and already there has been a significant reduction in lorry parking in the layby.
Residents in East Folkestone are being encouraged to talk to their neighbourhood police officers about crime and anti-social behaviour. The new mobile police station will be parked at the Baptist Church car park in Hill Road on Wednesday 15 and Friday 17 March, between 10am and 2pm.
Police in the Weald are investigating the report of an attempted abduction between 8am and 8.30am on Monday 6 March 2006.
It's been an exciting few weeks!
