  • This is Kent: Increase in Shepway taxi fares approved by councillors

    HIGHER taxi fares should have come in sooner, one driver has argued, after councillors approved hikes of 12.5 per cent.

    The Herald exclusively reported earlier this month that taxi prices across Shepway were to rise, a proposal agreed by the district council's licensing committee.

    The standard rate will rise from £3.80 for the first mile to £4.20, a 10.5 per cent rise, while the cost of subsequent miles will jump by 12.5 per cent.

    Age UK has said that such a rise could price elderly people out of going to the doctor.

  • This is Kent: Scientist Dr Katie Fowler is doing her bit to prevent flying pigs

    PIGS might fly at the moment – but that could all change thanks to the pioneering work of one former Paddock Wood schoolgirl.

    Currently IVF, the process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body, has proved impossible for pigs.

  • This is Kent: Wardens 'could issue 58 more fines a week' says Shepway council

    MORE than 3,000 extra parking tickets could be issued every year after it emerged council bosses believe wardens are not working at maximum capacity.

    The Herald has obtained documents given to outsourcing firm NSL by Shepway District Council which state that the present level of 15,000 tickets a year could be hiked to "in excess of 18,000".

    While it is illegal for specific targets to be set in contracts, the contract specification document written by SDC suggests wardens are capable of handing out at least 20 per cent more tickets – an extra 58 every week.

  • This is Kent: Are academies the answer in education or just a 'myth'?

    "THE word 'academy' is just a myth," says Nigel Utton, chairman of the KHT. "It's just a name that has been invented."

    The academy's spending on teachers, staff and educational consulting has increased each year since it opened – and yet two months ago it was placed into special measures.

  • This is Kent: Strikes 'to go on all summer' and risk disruption at Port of Dover

    STRIKES by UK Border Agency staff in a row over government plans could carry on into the summer and cause serious disruption to cross-Channel services.

    The Home Office said it covered the protest using its trained pool of contingency staff to minimise disruption but the government has announced should further strikes take place, it will focus the majority of its assets on keeping Heathrow Airport operational.
