    The Association of British Commuters says Transport Secretary Chris Grayling is being "rewarded for failure" by being allowed to keep his job in the cabinet reshuffle.

    It follows widespread disruption and a year-long strike on Southern Rail, over the introduction of Driver Only Operated trains.

  5. New service for eating disorder suffererspublished at 07:02 British Summer Time 13 June 2017

    There have been nearly 300 admissions for eating disorders in Kent in the last six years.
