Podcast: Drunken Sittingbourne man violently attacked Travel Masters school bus full of children after being refused a lift home by the driver

from KentOnline · host Kate Faulkner, KentOnline

A Sittingbourne man’s avoided jail after becoming violent and punching the windscreen of a packed school bus when he was denied entry by the driver.  He was “extremely intoxicated” at the time and demanded to be let on board while the vehicle had been stopped in traffic.  Also in today’s podcast, you can hear from a Kent charity who say they've had a record year for the amount of surplus food they've redistributed. FareShare collects products from supermarkets that would otherwise go to waste - bosses say they’ve hit targets they haven’t seen since the pandemic.  Parts of a former Debenhams are set to undergo a major transformation starting this week - with a medical centre earmarked for the site in Folkestone.  Plans to transform the Art Deco section of the town centre building, known as Folca Two, have been in motion to bring the property back into public use. We’ve got the details on a bid to make Thanet the “Isle of Culture” for 2029  Artist and Margate resident Dame Tracey Emin, along with East Thanet MP Polly Billington, have kickstarted the campaign. And in football, we’ve heard from manager Gareth Ainsworth after a late equaliser denied Gillingham victory on Saturday. The Gills looked set to earn all three points before Fleetwood struck deep into stoppage time to rescue a point, the game ending 1-1. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
