Milton

250 new tree saplings, planted at Milton Recreational Ground last week, have been kicked, uprooted and damaged by vandals.

Swale Borough Council and Southern Housing held a tree-planting day last Monday (6th February) aimed "to increase tree cover for biodiversity and boost the health and wellbeing of families, dog-walkers and other park users".

Local Swale Borough Ward concillor, Cllr Steve Davey, said "the damage was noted over the weekend and will be repaired tomorrow".

Police were called shortly after 9:00pm on Friday (6th May) after reports that a young woman, whilst attempting to walk home from Kemsley Railway Station through Foxgrove in Milton Regis, was robbed of her bag by three young males who were using a motorcycle.

Anyone with any information, that could help investigators, is asked to contact Kent Police on 101 or they can call Kent Crimestoppers free (from any landline) and anonimously on 0800 555 111 - please quote Crime Number XY/017155/16.

Kent Fire & Rescue Service (KFRS) have been tackling a huge blaze at the Sweeep Kuusakoski building on Gas Road in Milton Regis.
