Around 200 people have marched through a Kent village to protest | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The plans to build 700 homes near Sittingbourne have been put | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
forward by the local council so that it can meet | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
government targets, as Peter Whittlesea reports. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
This march is in Borden near Sittingbourne but communities across | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
the southeast face the same issue - hundreds of new homes proposed | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
as councils try and meet national housing targets. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
This is a greenfield site, grade one agricultural land, countryside, | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
footpaths, and it's the only countryside we've got left. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Residents argue their village would be absorbed by Sittingbourne | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
The council says it's been forced to find sites for 4000 more homes | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
than they wanted to, to meet government building targets. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Do you actually have enough brownfield sites? | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
I mean, I think virtually every brownfield site, | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
if not every brownfield site is already within | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
So whatever happens on this local plan, someone's going to be upset? | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Not only in Swale but everywhere else in the southeast, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
But critics claim in this borough, houses aren't being equally | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
In this particular council, they have chosen to divide | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
One area, Faversham, are treating specially, | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
the other area, Sittingbourne and Sheppey is having to take the bulk | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
As councils decide which new developments will get the | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
go-ahead, more protests are expected. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Peter Whittlesea, BBC South East Today, Borden. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
A man has been arrested in connection with a stabbing | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
A member of the public called the police at around half | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
They found a man in his 20s with stab wounds | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
He was taken to hospital for treatment. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Lorry drivers should be banned from using sat | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
navs designed for cars, according to local councils. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
It comes after a series of incidents in which vehicles have become stuck | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
in narrow lanes in villages such as Mereworth in Kent. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Residents in Pevensey in East Sussex have also complained | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The Local Government Association wants all lorry drivers to use sat | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
navs specifically designed for their vehicle. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Too many lorries are still using cheap sat navs | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
coming from small stores which are designed, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
What they should be doing is using more expensive | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
that actually give them an idea of where they can safely drive. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
A man in his 20s has been taken to hospital with serious injuries | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
The incident, involving a black BMW, happened on the A20 | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
in Maidstone at around a quarter to one this morning. | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
Two D-Day veterans from East Sussex have been awarded the Legion | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
At a special ceremony in Seaford this morning, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
96-year-old Ernest Frobisher, from Eastbourne, | :03:00. | :03:00. | |
and 90-year-old Arthur Burrett, from Seaford, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
were both given the award for fighting | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
and risking their lives to secure the liberation of France | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
There's not many people who get them. | :03:09. | :03:20. | |
And for these to be handed on to the family, it gives them | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Onto football and in the last half hour, Brighton and Hove Albion have | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
been knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league side Lincoln. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
In their fourth round match Lincoln won 3-1. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
And in the Sky Bet League One games, Charlton won away | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Gillingham drew with Shrewsbury Town 1-1. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
And in League Two, Crawley Town suffered defeat | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Time for a look at the weather now with Wendy Hurrell. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
The weather is changing over the next few days to something | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
milder and there will be a little bit of rain around | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
because it's all coming in from the Atlantic and I can show | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
This is the first tangle of weather fronts that's | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Through the day tomorrow, you can see lots of low | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
pressure systems stacking up in the Atlantic | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
and that's basically what we're going to see coming | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
In fact, there are a few showers around | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
this evening and they will continue overnight as well. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Bear in mind the ground under our feet is pretty | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
frozen solid after a cold couple of weeks and so as temperatures fall | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
to one or two Celsius tonight, this showery activity | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
One or two icy patches not out of the question rurally | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
The showers continue into tomorrow morning. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
There'll be bits and pieces of rain around and | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
generally quite a lot of cloud around as well. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
And some more significant rain coming through later on in the | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
day, the first significant rain really we've had | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Temperatures will be around seven or eight Celsius. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
We've got mild conditions, often double figures, | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
That's it from us now. We would like the same time tomorrow evening. See | :04:58. | :05:07. | |
you then. Goodbye. Hello. If you don't like the cold | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
weather, it certainly felt a lot better for you today, at least | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
across the southern half of the UK. Still pretty chilly in northern | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
areas, even some sleet. When we see this transition from one type of | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
weather to another, we get a lot of variable weather. That's what we've | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
had today that is what is on the way tomorrow. Sunshine and showers | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
today, and tomorrow will be quite a mix as well. Lots of clouds in the | :05:37. | :05:45. | |
Atlantic ready to come our way. The short term, just bits and spots of | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
rain in the western areas, some rain in the North least. Cold enough for | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
some ice to form in Northern Ireland, northern England and parts | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
of | :05:54. | :05:55. |
