Podcast: Baby taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after falling from flat above Best-One shop on Woodlands Road, Gillingham

from KentOnline · host KentOnline, Nicola Everett

A baby's been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after falling from the window of a flat above a shop in Gillingham. Emergency crews were called to Woodlands Road after the little boy landed on the pavement outside a Best-One convenience store just after 6 last night. Hear from our reporter Joe Crossley who has been at the scene. Also in today's podcast, the owner of a convenience store in Rochester says he's seen a spike in shoplifting during the hot weather. CCTV footage shows children stealing ice cream and drinks from the Premier store on Delce Road four times in the space of a week. Figures have revealed the number of Kent children entitled to special needs support who are still waiting for a school place. 417 pupils with education, health and care plans are on the list - and around three-quarters of those have been waiting more than 90 days. Many parents say the process of finding a suitable place has left them at "breaking point". We've been speaking to two of them. If you're planning a day trip to London during the summer holidays, the advice is to check the trains as two of the capital's stations are closed. £20 million worth of engineering work is taking place at Charing Cross and Waterloo East. A Canterbury couple who started fostering while in their 20s have been sharing their experience to try and encourage more young people to consider it. India Rusbridge and Ryan Hallett are both former teachers and welcomed their foster son two years ago. And in football, it was a defeat for Gillingham in their latest pre-season fixture. They lost 2-1 in a behind-closed-doors match against Brentford B, hear reaction from manager Gareth Ainsworth. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
