Podcast: Mum's fury as private school throws hundreds of books into a skip
from KentOnline · host KentOnline, Lucy Hudson
A mum has criticised a private school's decision to throw hundreds of books into a skip. They were spotted by Becky outside the King's School in Rochester, and she says she was "horrified" - but bosses have defended the decision. Also in today's episode, campaigners say they are disappointed plans for homes on a former school site in Hythe have been given the go ahead. The estate will include a mix of 150 houses and flats on what used to be Foxwood School. An object found by a metal detectorist in Kent has been declared treasure. The copper-alloy die stamp dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and could change our understanding of where the famous Sutton Hoo helmet was made. A couple who previously turned a failing pub around have taken over a riverside spot which shut suddenly earlier this year. Jamie Rogers and Millie Jenkins are now running The Man of Kent on Tonbridge Road in East Peckham. And, a village bus shelter has been completely transformed - and could now be the "cutest" in Kent. The brick structure in Chilham been repainted with hanging baskets on the outside and a book-lending library, artwork and community notices inside. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
