Police say they are becoming increasingly concerned about Richard Wall who has gone missing from Crawley.

He left home after a family disagreement at 21:00 BST on Wednesday and hasn't been seen since.

Officers say he's not responding to texts or messages on his social media pages.

A minute’s applause was held ahead of tonight’s Gillingham v MK Dons fixture as a tribute to BBC South East's sports reporter Neil Bell who died earlier this month.

The airport worker was airlifted to hospital with serious ankle and foot injuries.

A disabled woman from Gillingham who has won a lengthy battle to have her full benefits reinstated is urging people in similar circumstances not to give up.

Deborah Brown said she felt “broken” when she was denied enhanced funding under the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system, and says she has exhausted her savings to keep the specially-adapted car she had bought under the previous benefits system going.

Her situation attracted a lot of support from people in the area, some of whom donated money to help her.

But after waiting a year to appeal against the assessors’ decision, Ms Brown, who suffers from Ataxia - a debilitating neurological disorder - has been told her payments will be restored.

Ms Brown said she felt relieved after the appeal decision, and she sent a message to others in similar situations: “Don’t give up. I feel they are putting so many obstacles in people’s way that they are hoping that people will give up.”

Sue Millman, chief executive of the Ataxia Association, said: “During three months of last year, 65% of people were winning those appeals, which clearly suggests that the system was broken.”

The Department for Work and Pensions said it aimed to ensure all PIP claimants felt they had been fairly treated and promised to “continue working with our assessment providers to ensure people receive high quality assessments”.

It added: “Since PIP was introduced 2.9m decisions have been made, 9% have been appealed [against] and 4% have been overturned - often because further evidence has been provided.”

The airport worker was airlifted to hospital with serious ankle and foot injuries.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly the iconic Spitfire?

Now you can find out at a museum in Kent.

Former wartime bomber pilot Gerry Abrahams was guest of honour at the launch of a Spitfire simulator.

A council still aspires to hit its 55% recycling target within two years - despite being more than 10% under the figure.

Medway Council's action plan, published in 2005, says the council should hit the 55% mark by 2020 but its current overall rate is 42.8% - a 0.1% increase year-on-year.

Sarah Valdus, head of waste services, told last night's regeneration, culture and environment overview and scrutiny committee: "We have done a lot of work to try and keep that percentage where it is.

"Nationally, recycling rates have stalled and it's not just us coming across this issue - it's across the whole country.

"We're doing everything we can to promote recycling and we will continue to have that as a high priority for next year."

Kent firefighters were sent to nearly 2,500 false alarms caused by automatic systems in the county last year.

A Freedom of Information request has revealed crews were sent out more than once a week in some areas to automatic fire alarms, only to discover there was no fire.

The worst offending places were Gravesend, Northfleet and Gillingham.

In a bid to reduce wasted time, Kent Fire and Rescue Service call handlers often call ahead to locations where an alarm has been triggered to confirm if there is a fire.

Gravesham Central had the most false alarms, with firefighters sent to the area 70 times in 2017.

Kent County Council hopes its plans will help those over the age of 18 become more independent.

A young actress from Kent was chosen to be the first ever voice of the doll in Britain.
