There's anger after dozens of trees on a road near Sandwich were cut down.

The poplars that lined the A256 southbound heading towards Dover have been reduced to stumps with environmentalists concerned it happened during nesting season.

However, landowners insist all the correct rules were followed.

Also in today's podcast, the deputy leader of Medway Council says GP practices need to modernise to help meet a growing demand for appointments.

Theresa Murray says younger doctors in particular don't want to be responsible for the mortgage on a surgery building - and would prefer to just have a salary.

A former Kent journalist who's died at the age of just 40 has been described as a 'compassionate soul' with the 'kindest heart'.

Tim Collins used to work for our sister newspaper the Kentish Express in Ashford before becoming a freelance writer.

A woman who suffered severe injuries in a fall at her home has told the podcast how she's still waiting to be rehouses three years later...

Denise O'Toole spent 10 months in hospital, including five weeks in a coma, after falling down the staircase at the property in Tonbridge.

Figures from the Kent Wildlife Trust shows there's been another decline in flying insect populations.

The Bugs Matter survey, which is carried out by counting the number of bug splatters on number plates, shows numbers have fallen by 8% between 2023 and 2024.

And in sport, Sittingbourne are through to the Isthmian South East play-off final.

They beat Merstham 4-2 last night after going the whole season unbeaten at home.
