Podcast: Owners of Kentish Lady boat trip service on River Medway in Maidstone call for action to tackle antisocial behaviour

from KentOnline · host KentOnline, Nicola Everett

The owners of a boat trip service in Maidstone have called for action to tackle anti-social behaviour after they were targeted with rocks and bottles. The couple, who run Kentish Lady Cruises, have also reported being abused while out on the river in the town. Hear from Reporter Davina Jethwa who has been covering this story. Also in today's podcast, another heat health alert has been issued for Kent ahead of what's expected to be a scorching weekend. Temperatures could hit 30 degrees and the yellow health warning will be in force from Saturday until next Wednesday. We've been speaking to Dr Carl Wright who is a climate expert from Canterbury. The chairman of a Kent football club is planning to get a tattoo as part of a fundraising campaign for a coach who has pancreatic cancer. Paul Squires is hoping to go to Portugal for live-saving treatment, but needs 55-thousand pounds to pay for it. He volunteers at Hempstead Valley FC - along with Steve Tye, who's agreed to get the club's badge inked on his leg. And, artwork and toy models found by the family of the Kent co-creator of Bagpuss are going up for auction. They've been discovered at Peter Fermin's home near Canterbury which is being cleared before it's sold. His daughter Katy Firmin has been speaking to reporter Gerry Warren.
