00:02 - Good evening and welcome to Kentonite live on KMTV.
00:28 I'm Abbey Hook, here are your top stories
00:31 on Thursday the 30th of November.
00:34 Community funding collapses.
00:36 Youth centers face closure after Kent County Council
00:40 votes for alternative services.
00:43 - Can't even imagine not having it, if I'm honest.
00:46 It's been a huge part of our life.
00:49 - Wicked and torturous.
00:51 Mother and ex-boyfriend found guilty
00:54 of murdering 18 month old Alfie Phillips.
00:57 - At no point during this investigation or this trial
00:59 have they taken responsibility for what they've done.
01:02 - A special visitor, FA Cup at Ramsgate School
01:07 ahead of huge cup tie.
01:09 - It breeds belief and confidence, you know,
01:12 that local people, you know, can have success.
01:27 - First tonight, youth programs across Kent
01:29 could be forced to close following a decision
01:31 by the cabinet of Kent County Council earlier today.
01:35 They want to invest more in family hubs,
01:37 which they say will provide more integration of services.
01:40 But community centers for young people
01:42 say these new hubs won't provide the support they need.
01:45 Oliver Leder de Sacks has more.
01:47 - Is that agreed?
01:50 - Everyone in agreement here at Kent County Council.
01:53 As the cabinet approved plans for 11 family hubs
01:55 that aim to replace existing support services in the county.
01:59 The Department of Education is providing
02:01 more than 11 million pounds in grant money
02:03 over a three year period to support these hubs.
02:07 More than 60 youth services could be left without funding
02:10 as the cabinet also decided not to renew contracts
02:13 with existing service providers.
02:15 The cabinet member in charge of the consultation
02:17 into family hubs says they will bring
02:19 this pre-existing support together into one place.
02:23 - By integrating more fully public health,
02:26 health services and family support services,
02:29 family hub sites will provide effectively a one-stop shop
02:33 for children, young people and families.
02:36 And community outreach will add to that
02:38 by doing pretty much what it says on the tin.
02:41 - So what does KCC's decision actually mean?
02:45 Well, I've been down to this community center in Gravesend
02:47 to find out from the people who will be impacted most.
02:51 - They're not necessarily gonna be run
02:52 by professionally qualified youth workers,
02:54 but people with a skill set, this is KCC's wording,
02:58 a skill set in working with either children or young people
03:02 because of the range of ages that they'll be working with.
03:04 Young people deserve professionally qualified youth workers.
03:08 You know, that's what we're trained to do.
03:09 We're trained specifically to work with those young people
03:13 and that's what they deserve, that's what they need.
03:15 - I'm quite devastated to be honest.
03:17 This is like five years running now that I've been here
03:20 and just to watch KCC make this decision so easily
03:25 without even coming to see Gig and what happens here.
03:29 I think I feel, yeah, quite devastated.
03:31 Yeah, I don't know where I'd be without Gig.
03:35 - I can't even imagine not having this.
03:37 It's been such a huge part of our lives.
03:40 This is our second home, our second family
03:42 and without this, my daughter wouldn't be
03:46 a professional performer that she is today.
03:48 My other daughter would have never received the counselling
03:53 that she needed to get through hardships of life
03:55 that teenagers in 2024 have to go through
03:59 more and more every single day.
04:02 - Gifted young generation in Gravesend now face
04:04 the £100,000 shortfall in the money they need to continue
04:08 and will likely be forced to close
04:10 when contracts end in April next year.
04:12 We did reach out to Sue Chandler for an interview
04:15 but she only responded with this statement.
04:17 We understand that this decision is disappointing
04:20 for some young people in youth services
04:22 but KCC is committed to continuing to run
04:25 its youth provision through a mix of activity
04:27 at the family hub buildings and outreach locations.
04:31 Oliver Leader, The Sacks, reporting for KMTV.
04:34 - Next tonight, a mother and her ex-boyfriend
04:39 have been found guilty of murdering her child
04:42 in what Kent police called a wicked and torturous attack.
04:46 At the time of his death, Alfie Phillips was found
04:48 with 70 visible injuries and multiple broken bones.
04:52 He was just 18 months old.
04:55 After a seven week trial, the verdicts were returned
04:57 and Sian Hedges and Jack Benham now face life sentences.
05:01 Traces of cocaine were also found in Alfie's body
05:04 which the pair admitted to taking
05:06 in the hours before he died.
05:08 In a statement, Alfie's family told the anguish
05:11 of waiting three years for justice.
05:14 Detective Chief Inspector, Kath Way, spoke on the case.
05:18 - They subjected him to so much violence.
05:20 It was torturous and it was wicked.
05:23 At no point during this investigation or this trial
05:25 had they taken responsibility for what they've done
05:27 and that's meant that the family have had to endure
05:29 a lengthy trial listening to the horrendous details
05:31 of what Alfie has been put through
05:33 and the web of lies that have been told.
05:35 Alfie's family have asked me to read the statement
05:37 on their behalf.
05:38 We've had to listen to the horrific details
05:41 of what Sian and Jack did to Alfie,
05:43 how they assaulted him again and again.
05:46 He suffered so much pain.
05:47 In these years, we've not had the closure
05:51 and even after the trial,
05:52 we feel that we still deserve answers.
05:54 The only people with these answers are Sian and Jack
05:57 but they refuse to say what's happened to him.
06:00 Still to this day, they refuse to take responsibility.
06:03 They've never shown any remorse for what they did
06:06 and we will never know the truth
06:07 as to what happened to Alfie.
06:09 - Next tonight, two banking companies
06:13 have announced that they will be closing stores
06:15 across Kent.
06:16 Lloyd's will be closing their branches in Dover
06:19 and Strude next April.
06:21 Halifax says their Herne Bay branch will be shut in March
06:24 and in April next year, their Dartford store will close.
06:27 Both companies have said the way customers
06:29 have chosen to bank with them has changed in recent years.
06:33 300 NHS workers are set to walk out
06:37 in a dispute over payments
06:38 from the East Kent Hospital Trust.
06:41 Unite union members contracted to Together
06:44 support Solutions claims
06:46 they're missing a 1,600 pound payment.
06:50 Workers in the housekeeping and catering department
06:52 are set to strike on the 11th, 15th and 18th of December.
06:56 Together is owned by the NHS Trust
06:59 and they have been approached for a comment.
07:01 Next tonight, train services may be back on track for Kent
07:06 as some rail workers have voted to accept a pay deal.
07:09 Members of the RMT union have agreed
07:12 to a backdated pay rise of 5% for 2022 and this year
07:17 as well as job security guarantees.
07:20 The union will no longer be involved in industrial action
07:23 until at least the spring of next year.
07:25 But as left strikes are still going ahead
07:28 impacting Kent on the 6th of December.
07:30 Now the founder of the Oasis Academy has said
07:35 he's not surprised by the strikes at two of his schools
07:38 on the Isle of Sheppey.
07:39 But Steve Chalk has concerns about the calls
07:42 for stricter exclusions as being at home
07:44 might fuel further problems, he says.
07:47 It comes as parents were planning to counter protest
07:50 outside the Sheppey school this morning.
07:52 Well, Gabriel Morris sent us this report.
07:54 Well, we had been informed that this morning
07:56 there was gonna be a counter protest by parents
08:00 over the teacher strikes we've been seeing
08:02 at the Oasis Academy in Sheppey.
08:05 However, we got here at the time it said
08:08 on the closed Facebook post, no protesters were here.
08:13 We saw many students going into schools,
08:16 but no parents at all.
08:18 There are two sites on the Isle of Sheppey.
08:20 I was at this one here.
08:21 We had a report at the other site.
08:23 Neither of us saw any counter protests.
08:27 We've seen from the stories we've put up
08:29 in the past couple of weeks that some parents have said,
08:31 well, the teachers should be going harder on
08:35 the pupils and they have a lack of experience.
08:38 And we believe that is one of the reasons
08:40 why those protests were thought to have happened.
08:43 But for one reason or another,
08:45 no parents have turned up to the school today.
08:48 Students have already missed three days of school.
08:52 The National Education Union have been forming picket lines
08:55 over the behavior policy at the schools.
08:58 Today, classes are taking place,
09:01 but at previous strikes, teachers have been claiming
09:04 they're abused on an almost daily basis.
09:07 The strikers are calling for fixed term exclusions,
09:11 but a founder of the Oasis Academy says,
09:13 well, it's not that simple.
09:16 So if you automatically send every child home,
09:19 what are you sending them home to?
09:21 That's a big question.
09:22 Where are they going and how are they being safeguarded
09:25 at all?
09:26 The wider socioeconomic issues that were already
09:30 on the island and are longstanding,
09:31 and I think working together.
09:33 I'm not trying to excuse us, but I do want,
09:36 I hope you know that I have given every ounce of energy
09:41 I've got, and that Oasis has, to this.
09:46 The trust that's recognized for school has its problems
09:49 and recognizes the challenges with the amount of vacancies
09:53 and supply staff filling the gaps.
09:55 Earlier this year, the school did receive
09:59 an inadequate Ofsted inspection.
10:01 - We've been aware of what's taking place in that school
10:05 for some time, and we judged it inadequate recently.
10:09 We also noted the work that the head and teachers
10:12 and others in the school are doing to start to try
10:14 and turn around the situation there,
10:16 and we're really sorry that it's reached the stage
10:18 that it has.
10:19 That's an extreme example, but across the country,
10:23 some of the norms around the way that pupils behave,
10:27 again, were lost in the pandemic,
10:29 and we see that in Kent too.
10:31 - So far, there have been three strikes held
10:34 by teachers of the NEU union.
10:37 They're striking over the behavior at the Oasis Academy.
10:40 Next week, they're set to be three consecutive days
10:43 of strike action by the teachers,
10:45 and that will see students of school
10:48 between Tuesday and Thursday.
10:50 - And we'll continue our coverage of the story
10:55 as it develops over the next couple of weeks too
10:57 here at KMTV.
10:59 Now, just before we go to a break,
11:01 could this be Kent's most Christmassy house,
11:04 awarding some flashing lights in this report?
11:07 More than 80,000 lights, in fact,
11:10 3,000 ornaments, and even a snow machine,
11:13 all at this house in Boughton-under-Bleene,
11:16 that's between Canterbury and Faversham.
11:18 It can even be seen while driving along the A2.
11:22 I'm not surprised.
11:23 It takes Ross Clark three weeks to set this up,
11:26 and more than 15,000 pounds over the years
11:29 to transform his garden into a winter wonderland.
11:33 I dread to think of the electricity bill,
11:35 but Ross says it only adds an extra 100 pounds
11:39 to the monthly cost, certainly in the Christmassy spirit.
11:43 Now, it's time for a very short break,
11:46 but I'll be back in just a moment
11:48 with more news from across the county.
11:50 See you then.

15:09 - Hello and welcome back to Kent Tonight live on KMTV.
15:15 Now news in the past half hour,
15:17 Kent holiday goers might be disappointed
15:19 to hear budget seaside holiday park, Pontins,
15:22 which catered for thousands every year,
15:24 is closing with immediate effect.
15:27 Pontins Camber Sands near Kent's border and Rye
15:29 has announced a shock shutdown on social media.
15:32 While many have expressed their sadness
15:34 on the park's demise, recent reviews on TripAdvisor
15:37 show a mixed review, which just had a two star rating.
15:40 Well, we'll bring you more as we have it.
15:42 Now Shane McGowan, the Kent born singer
15:46 of the classic Christmas song, "Fairy Tale of New York"
15:49 has passed away aged 65.
15:51 ♪ Driving lights into one ♪
15:56 ♪ I've got a feeling ♪
16:00 ♪ This year is for me and you ♪
16:05 ♪ So happy Christmas ♪
16:09 ♪ I love you baby ♪
16:12 - He was best known for being the lead singer in the Pogues
16:15 and was born in Pembury on Christmas day, 1957.
16:19 Recently, he'd been receiving care in Dublin
16:21 for an infection, but was discharged last week
16:24 ahead of the festive period.
16:26 Today, his wife, Victoria Mary Clark,
16:28 shared a photo of her husband from his younger years
16:31 on social media.
16:32 She said, "I am blessed beyond words to have met him
16:36 and to have loved him."
16:37 The post goes on to say, "There's no way to describe
16:40 the loss that I'm feeling and the longing for just one more
16:43 of his smiles that lit up my world."
16:45 Well, to talk about what Mr. McGowan meant to his fans
16:52 and everyone, especially at Christmas,
16:54 I'm joined by an expert in the festive season, Chris DC.
16:58 Now, Chris, the song, very famous,
17:00 but it doesn't come without its controversy
17:02 over some of the language used,
17:04 but it's still considered a Christmas classic.
17:07 - Yeah, and I remember 1987, there was a big battle.
17:09 Would it be that or the Pet Shop Boys?
17:11 Always on my mind, that would be the Christmas number one.
17:13 And I think it almost entered legendary sort of folklore
17:17 because it didn't make number one, but it does appear.
17:20 I remember a few years ago, there was a,
17:21 BBC had a competition to see which was the best song
17:24 never to have reached number one.
17:25 And not surprisingly, that was up there,
17:27 I think in the top three, together with American Pie
17:30 and Ultravox Vienna, which won.
17:32 So this is a seminal film.
17:33 - And it goes to show that things tied to Christmas
17:37 will last an eternity.
17:38 The songs revisited every single year at the same times.
17:41 It goes to show that sort of connection we have
17:44 to Christmas and pop culture too.
17:46 - Absolutely, and I'm just thinking as well,
17:48 when you think about that song,
17:49 it's about this sort of lament.
17:51 It's the sense of the Christmas gone wrong.
17:52 There's something that you really relate to in that.
17:55 I mean, you mentioned the language in there,
17:56 which obviously we're not gonna repeat,
17:58 but there's something in there about this sense
18:00 that something isn't right.
18:02 Maybe it once was, the Christmas in New York,
18:04 where they've fallen on hard times.
18:06 And I think there's something in that
18:07 that has lasted throughout the decades.
18:09 The song has resurged, it's come back.
18:11 I think it's made the top three on two further occasions
18:14 in the last 20 years.
18:15 - And why do the classics last?
18:17 Why are the, what makes a classic a classic?
18:19 And they're not outshone by new Christmas films,
18:22 new Christmas music.
18:24 - I think they get to the heart.
18:25 It's really the human condition.
18:26 We talk often in the case of film about escapism,
18:28 but there's something in this about the thing that we want,
18:31 the thing that we can't have,
18:33 is that sense of looking to a future,
18:35 looking to a Christmas that is better than the last one.
18:38 Think of Wham's "Last Christmas."
18:39 It's all about nostalgia.
18:40 It's all about the sort of,
18:41 the better days that we really aim for.
18:43 Christmas films and music really get to the heart of that
18:47 sense that something is wrong,
18:48 something is out of alignment.
18:50 - It's a very interesting conversation, of course.
18:53 And Chris, another episode of Kent Film Club,
18:55 of course, coming up after the break.
18:56 But thank you for giving us those details.
18:58 Really interesting conversation.
18:59 - Thanks, Abi.
19:00 - Now to sports.
19:02 And this weekend, Ramsgate FC will face Wimbledon
19:05 in what will be the club's first ever appearance
19:08 in the second round of the FA Cup.
19:10 Their League Two opponents, Wimbledon,
19:12 have won the trophy before,
19:13 albeit in a previous iteration of the team.
19:15 So today, to balance things out,
19:18 children at the Heartstown Academy in Ramsgate
19:20 were treated to a very special visit from the Cup itself.
19:24 I think Bartholomew Hall was more excited than them.
19:26 Check it out.
19:27 - The FA Cup, 6.3 kilograms of silver,
19:32 wrapped in tons of football history,
19:35 and previously held by some of the sport's greatest.
19:38 Seen here, held by former Medway school boy, Chris Smalling,
19:42 when he won with Manchester United in 2016.
19:46 Ahead of Ramsgate FC's first ever foray
19:48 into the second round of the competition,
19:51 the Cup itself has been on tour,
19:53 stopping here today at Heartstown Academy,
19:56 which just so happens to be the workplace
19:58 of Rams manager and school deputy head, Ben Smith.
20:02 - I think it just breeds belief and confidence, you know,
20:05 that local people, you know, can have success.
20:09 You know, if I go back to, the game gets Woking,
20:12 you know, one of the goal scorers was TJ Jadama,
20:17 ex-student of Heartstown Academy.
20:19 You know, so it's nice to show students
20:22 actually this is an ex-student here, you know,
20:25 and hopefully they can be the next TJ,
20:28 and not only a fantastic player,
20:30 but you know, a fantastic role model
20:32 for the work he does in the local community,
20:34 he's coaching.
20:34 So yeah, it's great to show, you know,
20:38 what our alumni can achieve.
20:40 - Yeah, it feels surreal coming back to the old school
20:42 where it all started, and speaking to the teachers,
20:45 seeing some of them here.
20:47 We used to talk about the FA Cup loads in school,
20:49 so it feels good to bring it back here
20:52 and have it for the community.
20:54 So I know a lot of the kids that go to this school,
20:56 and way back when I was here,
20:57 I didn't think I'd be at this point,
20:59 but obviously we've worked hard to get where we are,
21:02 and yeah, hopefully for them,
21:04 and for some of my family,
21:06 we get to the next round and get through.
21:07 - And with a capacity-away crowd
21:09 set to travel to Wimbledon this Monday,
21:12 many of these youngsters will be left
21:14 to watch the game live on TV.
21:16 - I think it's brilliant how far they've come,
21:18 and then how much further they could go.
21:21 You can look up to them and use them as a role model.
21:23 - I've had about 3,500 people ask me for tickets,
21:26 so yeah, there's been massive response from all the fans,
21:31 and it's just, the pubs,
21:36 all the local pubs are showing it live.
21:38 There's so many people interested in it.
21:41 It's just everywhere in the local area,
21:43 you know, even outside the local area,
21:45 everyone's talking about it.
21:46 - You can't get physically much closer
21:48 to the Cup than this,
21:49 but in terms of football,
21:51 well, Ramsgate have never been this close either.
21:54 If they beat Wimbledon on Monday,
21:56 well, they'll be even one more step closer to the FA Cup.
22:00 - Bartholomew Hall for KMTV in Thanet.
22:03 - Next tonight, a yellow cold health alert
22:06 is now in place for the South East,
22:08 including here in Kent,
22:09 as wintry weather sweeps right across the UK.
22:12 Well, to give us all the details,
22:13 Sophia Akin joins me in the studio now.
22:15 Sophia, it is freezing.
22:16 You can absolutely tell that winter's on its way,
22:18 can't you?
22:19 It's been absolutely freezing
22:20 almost overnight that it's happened,
22:22 and that's because winter officially starts tomorrow,
22:24 if you couldn't tell by how cold it was.
22:26 So as you said, a cold health alert is in place.
22:29 We heard a lot of heat health alerts,
22:30 but it's now a cold health alert until Tuesday next week,
22:33 and they're sort of warning vulnerable people
22:36 to be aware and getting residents
22:40 to sort of check on their family members
22:42 and their friends as well.
22:43 So we've been speaking to the Met Office
22:45 kind of about what we can expect over the coming days.
22:49 - So the air's actually stemming from Northern Scandinavia,
22:51 where temperatures are kind of around minus 10 degrees
22:55 by the daytime at the moment.
22:56 So we've got this really cold origin of air,
22:59 and so that's been pushed down to the South,
23:02 across the UK, and all of the UK is in this really cold air.
23:06 And at this time of year in the winter,
23:08 because we have such short days,
23:11 even when the sun does come up,
23:12 it's only up for such a short amount of time
23:15 that it doesn't really get to work on warming things up.
23:18 So it's been feeling bitterly cold by day and night.
23:21 - But you'll be pleased to know, Abby,
23:23 it should be getting a little bit milder from Sunday.
23:25 So hopefully that cold weather is going to be going away,
23:28 but with that is coming some rain.
23:30 So you win some, you lose some,
23:31 but let's take a look about what it's gonna look like
23:33 in Kent in the coming days.
23:35 (upbeat music)
23:40 - That freezing weather is momentarily sticking around
23:43 as low as minus one degrees in Tunbridge Wells,
23:45 staying rather dry though,
23:47 until tomorrow morning where we're going to have some sleet
23:50 in parts of North Kent,
23:52 scattered showers and staying quite chilly.
23:54 In the afternoon, it's looking a little bit brighter
23:56 as the day goes on, light showers,
23:58 and a couple of degrees warmer,
24:00 and it's a bit of a mixed picture as the week goes on.
24:03 Some sleet returning on Sunday and some rain into next week.
24:06 (upbeat music)
24:10 (car engine roaring)
24:13 - So yeah, you can tell that winter is officially on the way
24:18 and it starts tomorrow.
24:20 Been absolutely freezing and you might have noticed, Abby,
24:23 has your car been freezing over?
24:24 - Yeah, I think some advice is needed for that.
24:27 And we want people to send in all their cold pictures too,
24:30 all their snowy pictures, sleet pictures, everything.
24:32 - Exactly.
24:33 Well, let's take a look back at a piece
24:34 from earlier this year from our reporter, Bartholomew,
24:36 who will teach us how to actually de-ice our car,
24:39 one of the hardest challenges.
24:40 - So to avoid the frustration of stepping out of your house
24:44 and seeing a frozen windscreen first thing in the morning,
24:46 here's KMTV's complete guide on how to de-frost your car,
24:50 both quickly and the safest way for your motor.
24:53 First things first, find your scraper.
24:55 A credit card or other small plastic object
24:57 works just as well.
24:59 Now, before turning on the engine,
25:03 make sure your windscreen wipers
25:04 are switched to the off position.
25:06 This will make sure that if they've frozen up overnight,
25:08 they won't get damaged when they try to move
25:10 as the power is turned on.
25:11 Here we go.
25:12 Turn on your warm air fans,
25:17 rear windscreen heater, and air conditioning.
25:21 Next, everything's been switched to high,
25:22 and as you can hear, the fans have turned on,
25:24 which means it's starting to circulate
25:26 that air around the car.
25:28 Make sure you direct the fans
25:29 towards the windscreen and windows
25:30 to help the de-frosting process.
25:33 While you wait for things to warm up,
25:34 start scraping the windows.
25:36 Even if you're in a rush,
25:37 don't pour boiling water on your windscreen.
25:40 It could cause the glass to crack or shatter,
25:42 and any water left on the windscreen could freeze up.
25:45 The AA says that many online hacks are complete myths,
25:49 such as putting hot water in a sandwich bag
25:51 or even using a potato to stop windows from steaming up.
25:54 Warm water, especially if it's been really, really cold,
25:57 what it will do is,
25:59 if you've got like a crack in the screen
26:01 or something like that, it could get even worse.
26:04 Make sure all windscreens are clean and clear,
26:07 and you can see through them.
26:08 Side windows and mirrors, 100% make sure
26:12 that they're all clear and you can see out of them.
26:14 For safety, check your roof for any settled snow
26:16 or thick ice and brush it off.
26:18 You don't want it falling off while you're driving.
26:20 Another great tip is to top up your engine's
26:22 anti-freeze levels in your radiator and screen wash.
26:25 Right, now I'm all set and ready with a clear windscreen.
26:28 I'm ready to head off.
26:29 Some top tips from Bartholomew there.
26:35 None of our viewers will have icy cars now moving forward.
26:38 Well, you've been watching Kent Tonight live on KMTV,
26:41 Kent Film Club right after the break.
26:42 But that's all from me and the Kent Tonight team
26:44 this evening.
26:45 I'll see you again tomorrow.
26:46 Bye-bye.
