Can the Olympics transform the way our children feel about sport?

How much sport do children do at school? Is it enough?

Britain's Olympics Chief Lord Moynihan says we need better facilities and better access - he says we need a stronger school sports policy. Is he right?

Lord Moynihan says "It is at schools where we can translate inspiration into participation. If we can't do something about it now then we never will."

Do your children do as much sport in school as you did? Should there be more sport in Kent's primaries? Are private schools the only ones that really push sport?

Are your children and grandchildren inspired by what they are seeing at the London Olympics? Will they have the opportunity to translate that into action?

If you work in a Kent school do you think there is enough funding, enough facilities, enough focus on sport? Is it too optional?

Have you spotted a rat lately?

It seems the record breaking rain we have had in recent months has flushed them out of overflowing sewage systems, and they are now on the hunt for new lodgings - like our homes and gardens.

However, it seems we are not as prepared as we used to be to deal with rats, cockcroaches and other creepy crawlies. Many councils have closed their pest control departments with private companies taking their place.

The 大象传媒's Panorama programme has been investigating the problem. We hear from our reporter Simon Boazman on whether we are struggling to deal with these pests.

We hear your views and stories.
