Kent County Council has been awarded £668,000 as part of an ambitious bid to reduce suicide by 10% in the county by 2021.

About 20% of the funds will go towards Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust, external (KMPT) to eliminate suicide completely at their mental health services.

It will also go towards a county-wide Release the Pressure campaign - a free phone service for anyone in Kent who feels suicidal.

Researchers will also receive cash towards studies into mental health.

Preventing suicide and self harm among young people will also be a focus of the plan as there has been a small spike in the number of deaths in the county recently.

Speaking at the Health Reform and Public Health Cabinet Committee, public health consultant Jess Mookerherjee said: "We have seen a number of tragic, and potentially linked, suicides from young people.

"However it is such small numbers in young people.

"It is predominantly boys who complete but the attempted rates and self harm are higher in women and girls.

"In the age group - under 18s - there is an increased rate of self harm all over the country."

Police are "increasingly worried" about a 44-year-old Weymouth man who went missing yesterday, external.

Daniel Richards was last seen at 14:30 when he left the town in his white VW Transporter with his black mountain bike on board.

He was expected to go cycling in Puddletown Forest, but his van was seen entering Brighton on Dyke Road Avenue, southbound from the A27, at 19:20.

He has not been seen since.

Insp Matt Chutter of Dorset Police said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Daniel as we believe he was very upset recently. We are appealing directly to him to contact Sussex Police or Dorset Police to confirm that he is okay.

"Also, I am appealing to the public, particularly in Brighton and the surrounding areas, to look out for Daniel, his vehicle and his mountain bike and urgently report any sightings to police."

A fatal helicopter crash left two brothers so badly burned investigators mistakenly identified their remains, an autopsy report has revealed.

Stuart and Jason Hill, 30 and 32, suffered burns to 100% of their bodies during the crash at the Grand Canyon on 10 February.

"After the remains were returned to England, DNA testing established the identity of these remains as being those of Stuart Andrew Hill", reads one autopsy from Mohave County medical examiner's office.

Both reports described the brothers' remains as being so badly burned that neither man was "identifiable by physical features".

The brothers were originally from Worthing, West Sussex, and were on holiday in the US to celebrate Mr Hill's 30th birthday with a trip to Las Vegas, and perished alongside Stuart's 27-year-old girlfriend Becky Dobson.

Kent's public health experts claim all forms of addiction should be treated as mental illness in the NHS.

Consultant Jessica Mookherjee told councillors yesterday those addicted to smoking, alcohol and drugs need to have the necessary medical support.

The director of public health at Kent County Council says nicotine addiction can be as bad as heroin.

At the health reform and public health cabinet committee, Ms Mookherjee said: "I'm very keen on the issue of addictions, including self-medicating and self-harming behaviour, is seen as a mental health issue."

She added synthetic drugs such as Meow Meow, Spice and Clockwork Orange "can mimic, enduce and exacerbate mental health issues".

Director of public health Andrew Scott-Clark said the NHS should reframe the narrative around smoking from a social issue to a tobacco addiction so people can get specialist treatment.

Police are investigating whether three suspicious letters sent to mosques in Kent are linked.

One letter containing white powder was sent to a mosque in Giles Lane, Canterbury, on 2 May before the substance was tested and found to be harmless. No injuries were reported.

A similar report was received on the same day at a mosque in Mote Road, Maidstone – and that too was found to contain a harmless substance, a Kent Police spokesman said.

The force said officers are also investigating the delivery of an offensive letter to a mosque in Gravesend. No white powder was contained in the letter.

Parents in East Sussex say they are "devastated" that funding's going to be cut for residential care at two schools for pupils with special educational needs.

More than 150 children attend St Mary's in Heathfield and Cuckmere and Tower House in Seaford.

The Sabden Academy Trust says it will have to stop respite evenings and overnight stays as the local authority has reallocated the £800,000 that is needed to run it.

Johannah Rowland, whose son attends Tower House, said he is able to attend school due to the support he’s received at Tower House.

She said: "Him attending school has been life changing.

"Being able to do social things with other children who understand him and who have similar needs means that when he is in school he can focus on his learning."

Eleven members of staff are also facing redundancy.

East Sussex County Council needs to save £17 million in this financial year.

Seaford Town councillor Phil Boorman said: "It's a terrible time for everybody and none of us wanted to do this but we need to try and protect as many services as we can going forward."

East Sussex County Council says funding will be reduced over the next two years instead of by September, to give the Trust time to find alternative funding.

Here's the damage caused after a lorry crashed into a pub in Haywards Heath.

'Possessive' David Browning stabbed his manager Jillian Howell to death during a meal at her home.

A journalist denied access to last year's Labour Party conference has been given the go-ahead for a High Court challenge against police.

Michael Segalov says he lost work after being refused accreditation for the event in Brighton as a result of a "secret policy".

He is bringing legal action against Sussex Police and Greater Manchester Police and was given permission on Wednesday for a full hearing.

In court papers Mr Segalov's lawyers said he is a journalist and political commentator of "good character" who has never been arrested, cautioned or reprimanded.

However he was refused accreditation to attend the conference by Sussex Police in September last year, which his lawyers said was done by applying a "secret policy" put in place by Greater Manchester Police.

No date has been fixed for the hearing.
