It costs just £1 for members to register for the Liberal Democrat autumn conference if you've never come to one before. Now is a great time to try (virtually) attending one for the first time.

Tune in this Autumn, vote and have your voice heard, participate in online discussions, hear from the experts, post questions, join the networking area and visit the exhibition - there's something for everyone.

The final draft of the Folkestone Town Centre Place Plan is now live at https://www.folkestone-hythe.gov.uk/folkestoneplaceplan

The Place Plan consists of three main documents: an Urban Appraisal, Engagement Report and the draft Place Plan.

• The Urban Appraisal was undertaken during the early stage of the Place Plan development to better understand the area. The study was extensive covering subjects including a socio-economic appraisal, a planning and area review and a baseline of transport and movement in and around the town. This also included an appraisal of local assets, landmarks and uses as well as environmental considerations. This study culminated in some key findings which were pivotal in informing the content of the Place Plan.

Received an interesting report from Folkestone & Hythe District Council earlier about HGV parking enforcement in the district over the last 6 months, and the likely direction of travel over coming months. I've asked and been told there is no reason I can't share it, so am! Thanks to F&HDC's Fred Miller for the report and underlying work.
