Kent already has wind turbines on the Romney Marsh and another farm has been suggested for Sheppey. Now more than a hundred MPs have written to Prime Minister David Cameron criticising onshore wind farms and the taxpayers' subsidies they receive.

Four Kent MPs added their signatures to the letter urging Cameron to change planning rules so that communities have a fairer chance overturning applications.

Would you fight plans for a new wind farm? Do you resent the fact that your expensive energy bills are subsidising them? Are they cost effective in your opinion?

Maybe you live close to a wind turbine. If so, what impact has it had on your life? We hear your views and opinions.

Also in the programme, are we failing rape victims in the county? Kent's first Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit has been setup in Canterbury. However Kent remains the only county in the South East without a 24/7 rape referral centre.

Julia speaks to Alison Saunders, Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (10.08), and Dr. Lucy Love, a Kent based forensic examiner in sexual assault cases (10.32).

We also hear the emotional and heart-wrenching tale of two victims who bravely called the show to share their experiences (10.47 & 11.06).
