Folkestone and Hythe District Council

Work begins on next stage of town's £20m revamp

As part of the government-funded project, a new park will replace Bouverie Square's old bus station.

The proposed medical centre will replace two existing surgeries in Folkestone, a council says.

The proposed solar farm is the size of 55 football pitches and could power more than 10,000 homes.

Folkestone Swimming Club chairman Ian Howes says a refurbishment would "make absolute sense".

The work is the most cost-effective way of protecting the district from flooding, the council says.

Folkestone Library was forced to leave Grace Hill in December 2022 over to safety concerns.

Bouverie Square is being returned to its former use as part of a major regeneration project.

The new homes, 22% of which will be affordable, will be built on the former Highview School site.
