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. | |
And, you know, next 150 years, let's hope that it keeps running and it | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
