Figures obtained by the BBC show there are 6,000 homes lying empty in Kent.

There are about 37,000 people in the county on a waiting list for social housing.

BBC Radio Kent discovered it took the authorities 12 years to bring 5,000 empty homes in Kent back into use, though the No Use Empty scheme.

The scheme offers interest free loans of up to £175,000 to those wishing to revive long-term empty properties.

The housing charity Shelter says in addition to bringing empty homes back into use, more houses need to be built to solve the housing crisis.

Derek Gane died three days after he was found by the roadside with multiple fractures.

A Government minister has criticised the security company G4S for refusing to take patients to hospices in Kent as part of their £90m NHS contract to provide non-emergency transport.

The company argues that hospice care is not provided by the NHS so does not fall within their remit.

Greg Clark, the MP for Tunbridge Wells, says the transport company should show some compassion.

The closure of six SureStart centres in Medway has been rubber stamped by councillors.

The Overview and Scrutiny Committee voted to accept the cabinet decision last night.

Campaigners against the move said the meeting was the last chance to save the centres.

Medway Council had originally planned to shut 19 SureStart centres and replace them with four so-called 'superhubs'.

The proposals were introduced to save more than £1.5m a year, following changes to government funding.

But a public consultation showed 85% of parents surveyed opposed the plans.

The council will now create four large 'hubs' and save nine 'Children and Wellbeing' centres.

Figures obtained by the BBC show an increase of more than 60% in the past three years.
