A Kent politician, who is a registered mental health nurse and counsellor, is calling for a mental health expert to be available in every school in the country.

Councillor Diane Marsh, who is the deputy cabinet member for Adult Social and Public Health at Kent County Council, believes a trained counsellor should be on hand for all pupils to give them a safe space to discuss their problems confidentially.

This comes after the NHS admitted more than 1,700 children in Kent have been on the waiting list for mental health services for at least six months.

Ms Marsh said: "Having access in the school would make it much easier for young people to actually go and speak about their concerns and to be heard."

The development of Crawley's 14th neighbourhood continues apace after approval was given for a 350m long "employment building" in Forge Wood.

The building, which will stand between the railway line and 169 homes still to be built in the north east of the site, will be 10m high and split into 14 units.

At a meeting of Crawley Borough Council's planning committee, members were told the building would act as a noise barrier between the homes and the railway's goods yard.

A second application, covering the homes, was also submitted.

They will be made up of 58 houses and 111 flats in three-storey blocks, with 41% being affordable.

Several concerns were raised by committee members, including the numbers of lorries which would be likely to pass by on their way to the employment units.
