Good evening. some big decisions to make.

:00:08.:00:08.

The Government's being urged to make a decision on a second Dartford

:00:09.:00:11.

A free flow system will be introduced on the toll bridge

:00:12.:00:15.

But critics say another crossing is the only long term solution.

:00:16.:00:20.

The Dartford crossing carries around 165,000 vehicles a d`y.

:00:21.:00:28.

That figure is expected to rise by 20%.

:00:29.:00:31.

Matt Smith uses the road several times a dax.

:00:32.:00:35.

Caught it on a good day, but this can be solid for miles.

:00:36.:00:39.

The Kent crossing is soon to become Britain's first

:00:40.:00:42.

The new system will use automatic number plate recognition.

:00:43.:00:46.

The Highways Agency says the measure will improve journey

:00:47.:00:50.

A second crossing is due to be completed in 10 years' time

:00:51.:00:55.

Option A runs alongside the existing crossing.

:00:56.:00:58.

Option C links Kent to Essex near Gravesend.

:00:59.:01:05.

Kent County Council favours option C.

:01:06.:01:09.

If it gets the go`ahead, it'll be built to the east

:01:10.:01:14.

built to the east of Gravesdnd, just behind me. Some say the government

:01:15.:01:18.

That decision has to be madd imminently,

:01:19.:01:23.

Dartford really can't afford any more delay on this decision.

:01:24.:01:28.

People in Gravesend gave a mixed reaction to option C.

:01:29.:01:32.

I don't know if I'd really want it there.

:01:33.:01:34.

Cos obviously, a lot more traffic going through it.

:01:35.:01:37.

I think it'll open up a lot more area for developlent or

:01:38.:01:41.

But I know a lot of people are probably against that.

:01:42.:01:47.

Because of the wildlife and all the rest of it.

:01:48.:01:49.

A decision on the Lower Thames crossing is expected by the end

:01:50.:01:53.

A special service to remembdr Indian soldiers who died during the

:01:54.:02:01.

First World War was held near Brighton today.

:02:02.:02:03.

It took place at The Chattrh, a memorial built on the South Downs

:02:04.:02:07.

where Hindu and Sikh servicemen who died in Brighton's war hosphtals

:02:08.:02:11.

It's a sign of our multicultural societx.

:02:12.:02:18.

It's also a memory of, we'rd thanking the soldiers who made the

:02:19.:02:23.

Around 120,000 people have spent the weekend at the Folkestone Airshow.

:02:24.:02:31.

The free event ran into trouble last year due to a lack

:02:32.:02:34.

of sponsorship, and has now been taken over by a private company.

:02:35.:02:37.

Last year, the Red Arrows ddcided to put on their own display over

:02:38.:02:43.

Folkestone when the airshow they were headlining was cancelldd.

:02:44.:02:48.

But the new management team are confident.

:02:49.:02:53.

Because this is a free event, and as long as people buy the raffle

:02:54.:02:57.

tickets, have used our car parks, buy our programmes, then yes, we are

:02:58.:03:01.

confident that we will make enough money to cover our costs and then

:03:02.:03:06.

Visitors were glad to see a large event such as this back

:03:07.:03:13.

I think it's brilliant, because it brings a lot mord people

:03:14.:03:17.

back into Folkestone, like all towns along the co`st,

:03:18.:03:20.

I think would be ideal if it went around all the seaside areas.

:03:21.:03:27.

So one has it one year, perhaps Margate,

:03:28.:03:31.

Because the airshow is now run by a private company, it is all the

:03:32.:03:38.

trade stands that you see now which are helping to keep it financially

:03:39.:03:42.

viable, which the company says is securing its future for the public.

:03:43.:03:51.

Celebrations have been held in Sussex this weekend to m`rk

:03:52.:03:54.

the anniversary of a key railway line opening.

:03:55.:03:56.

Steam trains have been travelling through to Seaford

:03:57.:03:58.

and other stations today and on Saturday, drawing large crowds.

:03:59.:04:02.

The special trains are part of events to mark 150 years of the

:04:03.:04:06.

It has a lot of passengers tsing it, it's a good connection,

:04:07.:04:14.
