Police are investigating after a woman was found dead in a flat in Ramsgate.

Officers were called to a flat in Trove Court, Newcastle Hill at about 22:30 GMT on Monday 5 March after receiving a report from a man who was concerned he had not heard from his friend for sometime.

Police forced their way into the flat and found the body of a woman, thought to be in her thirties.

Kent Police says the woman's death is being treated as unexplained.

No formal identification has yet taken place and a post-mortem examination is due to take place later this week.

There is an "unprecedented demand" to fill potholes across Kent, according to the county council.

As of Monday the council had more than 200 individual repairs ordered. It already had a backlog of road repairs costing millions of pounds.

The authority says it started a county-wide inspection of A and B roads at the beginning of the week.

East Sussex Highways says it also expects to see an increase and is making extra crews available to fill the holes.

Plans are being drawn up to celebrate the success of Britain's best ever Winter Olympic athlete with an open-top bus parade through Kent.

The leader of Surrey County Council says he's sorry a key road sign in Godstone still hasn't been fixed despite being damaged a year ago.

The cash-strapped authority promised it would only take six to eight weeks to repair the sign which is on the A22 just before a roundabout at junction 6 of the M25.

The council, which needs to save £66m this year, says it orders road signs in batches to save money.

David Hodge also told BBC Surrey the council will invest an extra £5m for road improvements.

Looking better later though, here's my forecast.

Campaigners have criticised the decision to install what they claim are "anti-homeless" benches outside the former headquarters of American Express in Edward Street, Brighton.

Nearly 4,000 people have signed a petition calling for the removal of four seats which each have four arm rests making it impossible for rough sleepers to lie down on them.

The company says it chose the benches for their "ease of use and their sturdiness" and didn't intend to restrict their use.

It now plans to have the benches replaced.

The advertising watchdog says other observational towers with moving platforms are taller than the i360.

Water companies in the South East say they're aiming to have all customers' supplies restored by this morning after burst pipes have caused people to be cut off.

South East Water says engineers have been working through the night in the Rotherfield and Crowborough areas where they've identified a large number of small leaks.

The firm says water will start to return once repairs are complete.

Six teenagers from Brighton and Hove have been hospitalised in a week after taking the tranquiliser Xanax.

The prescription drug isn't readily available in the UK but is widely prescribed in the US to treat anxiety.

It's about 20 times stronger than Valium and if mixed with alcohol there's a risk of overdose.

City health officials say they believe it's being bought over the internet and from local dealers.

Earlier this week Public Health England warned users they were "dicing with death".

Last month BBC South East revealed that Xanax was being sold illegally to children on social media sites.

Brighton's i360 can no longer describe itself as the world's tallest moving observation tower, advertising watchdogs have ruled.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the claim was misleading because there are several other towers with moving platforms which are taller.

Bosses at the i360 said its claim was based on the definition of "measuring a specified distance from top to bottom".

The attraction still holds the record for the most slender tower.

The ASA ruled that, while the observation deck does move a greater distance from the ground than towers which have decks which do not start at ground level, other towers do still rise higher.

Brighton i360 said the "tallest moving observation tower" referred to the distance from which the pod travelled - from ground level to 452ft (138m) - a greater vertical distance than any other moving observation tower.

It added there was no evidence any consumer had been misled by the claim.
