Podcast: Herne Bay mum speaks of shock as daughter, who lives in Canterbury, is treated in hospital for meningitis following deadly outbreak

The number of cases of meningitis in Kent has risen to 20. Medics say six are confirmed to be group B meningococcal disease - or MenB. Meantime, a mum has spoken of her shock after her daughter became ill and ended up in hospital. 21-year-old Keeleigh Goodwin lives in a house share in the Wincheap part of Canterbury and started to feel unwell over the weekend. The outbreak is being linked to three events at Club Chemistry in the city and anyone who went there is being urged to get antibiotics as a precaution. So far, 2,500 doses of antibiotics have been handed out at four clinics in the county. In this episode, you can also hear from Dr Anjan Ghosh who is Kent's director of public health. Other top stories, and, a Birchington man who organised the supply of class A drugs across east Kent has been locked up. Police say the 30-year-old used a luxury watch business as a cover up and was caught singing while handling his illicit money. A father and step-daughter have joined forces to bring traditional English dishes to a Kent town with a new “upmarket” eatery in a former landmark pub. Businessman Henry Cooper and Tabitha Bennet are transforming the old King’s Head in Sittingbourne into a café and restaurant. And in sport, the Gillingham manager is focusing on performance, rather than results, after last night's loss to Swindon Town. They were defeated 2-0 at Priestfield despite managing 20 shots on target. Hear from Gareth Ainsworth and young striker Harry Waldock. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
