We are live in Dover today on the Market Square.

Is there a future for your children in East Kent?

A college principal says he risks "gambling" with students' futures - unless decision-makers come up with a clear economic plan for the future of East Kent.

Graham Razey, of Thanet College, says politicians must put differences aside - and decide whether tourism, Manston Airport, the Discovery Park at Sandwich or the green agenda offers the best opportunity for the region.

He told a special radio debate - to be broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio Kent tonight - that he cannnot plan the right courses for his students, unless there is a clear focus.

We want your thoughts about your children and their future. Are there going to jobs for them? Are there going to be opportunities for them when they leave school? Do you think they will have to move away altogether?

What did your children choose to do when they gew up? Did they decide to stay in East Kent? Did they find a decent job and good schools for their children?

We speak to local businessman, Mark Robson.

Mark was a headteacher for most of his career but had always had a desire to run a pub.

So in November last year Mark did just that. He opened a micro pub in Deal with his daughter Bronwen, who had done one year at University before going into business with her Dad.

East Kent is the backdrop for a new prime-time 大象传媒 TV drama. True Love started at the weekend and it was all filmed in and around Margate.

Each episode follows a character's love story and stars Absolutely Fabulous actress Jane Horrocks, Basic Instinct 2's David Morrissey and Dr Who stars David Tennant and Billie Piper.

It was filmed across Thanet between August and October last year and features landmarks including Turner Contemporary, Charles Dickens School in Broadstairs, the Pegwell Bay Hotel, Westwood Cross and Hawley Square.

More than three million tuned in on Sunday night to watch David Tenant's story - the story of a happily married Communications Manager for Thanet Council - who's first love appears out of the blue.

We speak to Justine Wingate - she is the real life Corporate Information and Communications Manager for Thanet District Council.
