  5. Kent PCC: Help for victims and offenderspublished at 21:23 GMT 22 November 2016

    Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has pledged £100,000 to provide restorative justice services in the county over the next 12 months.

    The services focus on rehabilitating offenders through reconciliation with victims.

    Quote Message

    Restorative justice is not a form of punishment. If both parties agree, the process is in addition to whatever sentence the offender may receive. It's important to stress that if a victim doesn't feel that restorative justice is right for them then there is no pressure to enter into the process, but at its best restorative justice can empower victims to understand they are not to blame for what has happened."

    The South East is the third worst region in the country for beach litter, according to a new report.

    The Marine Conservation Society looked at how the number of plastic bags on the country's beaches had changed, since the introduction of the 5p bag charge.

    It's seen a drastic reduction in beach litter nationally, which they say is good news for marine wildlife.

    But the South East still has more than 700 items of litter for every 100m of beach.
