00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Good evening and welcome to Kentonite Live on KMTV.
00:27 I'm Abbey Hook, here are your top stories on Tuesday,
00:30 the 29th of August.
00:32 We won't take it, residents furious
00:35 as ultra low emission zone expands to Kent border.
00:39 - We're in a crisis zone, high inflation,
00:42 people struggling to eat.
00:43 - Revved up, motorcycle action group says
00:47 bikes could be the solution to air pollution.
00:50 - For 10% of single occupancy cars shifted to motorcycles,
00:54 there'll be a 40% decrease in pollution.
00:57 - Up in the air, Kent families in chaos
01:00 as air traffic control issue cancels hundreds of flights.
01:04 - But I know from other stories
01:06 that they've had no support at all,
01:08 they're stuck in the airport with no hotels,
01:09 no one to stay tonight.
01:11 - And don't slip up on sustainability.
01:14 Kent's soap company encouraging other cosmetic businesses
01:18 to go eco-friendly.
01:20 - You don't need the chemicals that go into things
01:23 for you to be smelling nice and fresh.
01:25 (upbeat music)
01:28 - First tonight, we can't cope.
01:37 Dartford's residents response
01:39 to London's ultra low emission zones
01:41 being expanded into all of London's boroughs
01:44 and up to the Kent border.
01:46 From today, millions of motorists could be hit
01:48 by a 12 pound 50 charge for entering certain zones
01:51 if their cars aren't compliant.
01:53 Sadiq Khan says this is to protect public health
01:56 while Kent motorists say they can't afford the fee
01:58 and can't afford to replace their vehicles.
02:01 Sophia Akin has more.
02:02 - Now this doesn't look too different
02:07 from your typical weekday commute
02:08 from a Dartford into London,
02:10 except from now on, it's going to be really different
02:13 for certain motorists.
02:14 As from today, London's ultra low emission zones
02:16 have officially expanded to cover all of London's boroughs.
02:20 So from now on, for someone's car
02:22 who isn't ULES compliant,
02:24 entering this zone is going to cost you 12 pound 50.
02:27 - This expansion has meant the area
02:29 is now encompassing 5 million extra people,
02:33 including many in Kent,
02:35 something Dartford locals spoke out against.
02:38 - I think it's bang out of order.
02:40 Sadiq Khan is killing London.
02:42 People will not survive.
02:44 We're in a crisis zone, high inflation,
02:46 people struggling to eat,
02:48 and now he's expanding the ULES.
02:50 - I will not pay any fines.
02:52 If they send bailiffs to my door, they're not coming in.
02:55 - I can understand the charge, but it's too much.
02:59 - I'm a gas engineer, borough engineer,
03:00 and I work in London most of the time.
03:02 And the vehicle that I've got now is barely 10 years old,
03:07 so it falls out of the ULES compliancy.
03:10 So the only alternative is to pay 45,000 pounds
03:15 to replace my vehicle.
03:16 So effectively, I can't work in London anymore,
03:20 can't go past Craiford, actually.
03:22 So my van is basically obsolete.
03:24 - And he wasn't the only business taking a hit.
03:28 Full Farm on the Bromley-Kent border fears soon
03:31 they'll start losing volunteers.
03:34 They recently had to get rid of their animal ambulance
03:36 as the vehicle wasn't ULES compliant.
03:38 - Thankfully, we've got a very, very loyal supporter base.
03:42 They've been amazing and rallied around,
03:43 and we have now raised enough money
03:45 to purchase a new vehicle.
03:46 One thing that it will really impact is our volunteers.
03:49 We have around 300 people volunteer with us
03:51 on a regular basis.
03:53 A lot of those people come from Kent and the surrounding area.
03:56 And if they don't have a compliant vehicle,
03:58 it's now going to cost them money to come and volunteer,
04:01 which we have already been told some of the volunteers
04:03 aren't going to be able to come anymore
04:05 because of the additional cost.
04:06 - The mayor of London has said the decision
04:08 to expand the ULES London-wide was a difficult one,
04:12 but necessary to save lives, protect children's lungs,
04:16 and help prevent asthma, dementia,
04:19 and other health issues.
04:21 - It's a brilliant day.
04:22 My son suffers with asthma, and so do I,
04:25 but my son has it particularly badly
04:28 and really suffers from exacerbations
04:30 on high-pollution days.
04:32 And I think that we need to call together
04:34 on central London to fund proper scrappage
04:37 and proper support for those individuals.
04:40 - As ULES paves the way for a greener future,
04:42 will Kent motorists learn to adapt to these new road rules,
04:46 or will they continue to fight against it?
04:48 Sophia Akin for KMTV.
04:51 Well, Sophia joins me in the studio now
04:53 to explain what cars are compliant.
04:55 - Well, the quickest and easiest way of doing it
04:57 is by checking TFL's website.
04:58 You can pop in your registration plate,
05:00 and it will tell you simply,
05:01 but they're very busy today, as you can imagine, ULES.
05:04 The border has changed today.
05:06 So for those who aren't able to access it,
05:07 so the Euro 6 standard was introduced in 2015 for cars
05:11 and 2016 for vans, so almost every diesel car
05:14 registered since that date will be compliant,
05:17 as well as a handful of others
05:18 that were complied with the standard early.
05:20 Now, virtually all petrol cars sold from 2005
05:23 and all petrol vans sold after 2006 will also be compliant.
05:27 Electric vehicles are automatically compliant as well.
05:30 And it's not just cars, though.
05:32 It's motorbikes, too, that will have an impact from ULES,
05:35 as you've been finding out.
05:37 - ULES has expanded to the border of Kent
05:40 and with it, bringing concerns for many motorists.
05:43 The idea, to reduce toxic air pollution,
05:47 something the Motorcycle Action Group
05:49 believe they already have the answer to.
05:52 - Nobody wants to see anybody affected by polluted air,
05:56 but I think bikes move a lot freer through traffic.
06:00 They don't sit there ticking over, polluting the air.
06:02 They just, they move.
06:04 In terms of total emissions,
06:05 they will be minuscule compared to the average car,
06:07 but obviously ULES doesn't deal with proportions.
06:11 It only deals with percentage of exhaust.
06:13 So, you know, even though this is a lot smaller
06:16 than the average car van,
06:17 this will get charged exactly the same.
06:19 - The ULES requires the Euro 3 standard for motorcycles,
06:24 which is actually lower than the standards
06:26 for other vehicle types.
06:27 It became mandatory for all new motorcycles in 2007.
06:32 The Action Group say some bikes banned
06:34 are actually compliant,
06:36 but the riders have to individually pay for proof.
06:39 - They just blanket banned anything off
06:41 before a certain year.
06:44 But if you get a certificate from a manufacturer
06:46 stating that model is compliant, they accept it,
06:50 but they only accept it for that individual
06:52 when they should be saying,
06:52 "Okay, we now know all models of that year are compliant,
06:57 so we'll add that to the exempt list," but they won't.
06:59 The vast majority of bikes being tested are compliant.
07:03 - But the Motorcycle Action Group say proving compliance
07:07 isn't the overriding issue.
07:09 They want to see more people swapping their cars for bikes.
07:14 - There was a report done by a Belgian guy called Louvin
07:18 for the EEC, and in that he said that if 10%
07:22 of single occupancy cars shifted to motorcycles,
07:25 there'd be a 40% decrease in pollution and congestion.
07:28 So, you know, they're killer statistics.
07:30 So we feel that motorcycles should have a blanket exemption
07:34 from ULES, and people should be encouraged
07:37 to use motorcycles.
07:39 - A Transport for London spokesperson said,
07:41 "To tackle London's air pollution problems,
07:44 we must reduce emissions from all vehicle types in London.
07:47 This is why motorcycles are included in the ULES."
07:51 Exhaust emissions regulation for motorcycles
07:54 began later than for passenger cars,
07:56 and have since lagged behind the trajectory
07:59 of emissions controls used for other vehicles.
08:02 This means that although motorcycles may contribute
08:05 a relatively small proportion of total emissions,
08:08 they can be highly polluting on an individual basis.
08:13 But for this group of enthusiasts,
08:14 they hope their bikes can be part
08:16 of the air pollution solution, not the problem.
08:19 (engine revving)
08:22 Abbey Hook for KNTV.
08:24 Next tonight, ticket offices at Kent train stations
08:29 could be closing, and some say the proposals
08:31 could put many out of a job.
08:33 A consultation has been extended to the 1st of September,
08:36 with many raising concerns for disabled train users
08:38 who can't use ticket machines.
08:40 Southeasterns say they'll provide travel centres
08:42 for face-to-face support.
08:44 Labour parliamentary candidate for Gillingham and Raynham
08:46 has written an open letter to the train operator
08:49 saying that most of Medway won't be supported.
08:51 Well, Nishaba Khan joins me in the studio now.
08:53 Nishaba, thank you very much for coming in.
08:55 Why are you against this move, firstly?
08:58 - Well, I'm against the move of closing our ticket offices
09:00 because it has such a huge impact
09:02 on communities across Kent,
09:05 and particularly in Gillingham and Raynham.
09:07 Gillingham, as many people will know,
09:09 is a really core station that is providing services
09:12 to the hospital, to universities,
09:16 and to a football stadium,
09:17 and people there really do need to use a ticket office.
09:20 We've got lots of people who don't have access online.
09:23 We've got a number of disabled passengers
09:24 who've also said they're really concerned
09:26 about what this will mean for them,
09:28 and it really raises some concerns around passenger safety,
09:31 but also jobs within the rail industry
09:35 and the longer-term support that customers
09:37 who are using trains get.
09:39 - They are, South Easton have told us,
09:41 Mark Bonny, the general manager,
09:43 said they're planning to introduce travel centres
09:45 at 14 of the busiest stations,
09:47 accessible access providing face-to-face services
09:50 in Rochester, Margate, and Ashford.
09:52 They say the locations have been carefully considered
09:54 by the number of people using these ticket offices,
09:56 so there will still be that face-to-face support.
09:59 - Well, firstly, the work, the consultation
10:02 that the unions have had with South Easton
10:04 have shown that those travel centres
10:06 really aren't what they say on the tin.
10:08 No one's quite sure what they're actually
10:09 going to be able to do,
10:10 and actually, they sound a lot like
10:13 they won't be anything like a ticket office
10:15 or the service that's currently being provided
10:17 by a ticket office.
10:18 Secondly, a office in Rochester
10:20 is going to do very little for residents
10:22 who live in Gillingham, who live in Raynham,
10:24 who live in Chatham, because they need that support
10:26 and be able to access somebody at the station
10:29 a lot earlier on than by the time they get to Rochester.
10:32 - And the jobs as well, that's a key part here.
10:34 We haven't got long left,
10:35 but the employees affected will be offered training
10:37 to move into these multi-skilled
10:38 sort of customer host roles.
10:41 Surely that's good, they're providing the jobs?
10:43 - Again, South Easton have said a lot
10:45 that doesn't really mean or say anything.
10:47 No one really knows what that means,
10:49 and the unions are really against this
10:50 because they know it's a longer-term programme
10:52 around cutting back staff, but also saving costs,
10:55 and that's what's really driving this,
10:57 rather than customers.
10:58 - What are you asking them to do instead?
11:00 What do you propose the solution is?
11:02 - Well, I don't see any reason
11:03 why the ticket offices need to close
11:05 because they're providing a vital service.
11:06 Actually, our stations need to be better staffed,
11:08 and people need to be much more easily able to buy tickets.
11:11 If they do want people to use the machines more,
11:13 they need to make sure that they're working,
11:15 because often they're not,
11:16 and that people, they're simple to use,
11:18 and they're not always are.
11:19 - Very quickly, we don't have long left at all,
11:21 but if this is a funding issue,
11:22 if this is 'cause they're trying to cut back on spending,
11:25 what then?
11:26 - I think the rail industry really needs to look
11:27 at how it's working, because Labour's got plans
11:29 for how we can look at it again,
11:31 but clearly at the moment,
11:32 all we see is ticket prices going up and up and up,
11:34 and the services that customers receive going down,
11:37 so something's got to change.
11:39 - Thank you very much, Nishaba, for your time.
11:41 Now, Mark Bonney, the general manager of Southeastern,
11:44 said that they're planning
11:44 to introduce these travel centres,
11:46 and employees will be offered these multi-skilled roles.
11:48 The second phase of their consultation opens in autumn.
11:51 Time for a break now.

15:04 - Hello and welcome back to Kent Tonight live on KMTV.
15:16 Chaos for many Kent families
15:18 as air traffic control failures stop holidaymakers
15:21 getting both home and away.
15:23 There's no definitive answer on what caused the glitch,
15:26 but we know a technical fault yesterday
15:28 caused the automatic system for processing flights
15:30 to stop working.
15:31 There's now a backlog of flights building up,
15:34 leaving many stranded at airports.
15:36 KMTV's own Allegra Webb is one of those
15:38 caught up in the delays.
15:40 She was meant to fly home today,
15:41 but is currently still in Greece
15:43 waiting for a flight tomorrow.
15:45 - We have been thinking about,
15:46 obviously we've got a suitcase to leave in the hotel
15:48 thinking are they in the same place as us?
15:49 But I feel until we get to the airport,
15:51 we start seeing the mass of people at the queues
15:54 asking for information.
15:55 That's when we'll start to see
15:57 the people who've also been affected as well as us.
15:59 I feel that we've had a lot of support
16:02 from the airline in terms of communication.
16:04 They've let us know about the hotel that they've given us
16:06 and obviously we've got meal tickets as well.
16:09 So we'll get 20 pounds for meals for tonight,
16:11 which is great.
16:12 So very happy that we're in this situation,
16:15 but I know from other stories with other airlines
16:18 that they've had no support at all.
16:19 They're stuck in the airport with no hotels,
16:21 no where to stay tonight.
16:23 - Well, joining me on the line now
16:24 is travel expert Chris Scoble.
16:26 Chris, thank you very much for joining us
16:28 in what's a very chaotic situation for a lot of people.
16:31 Allegra seems to be one of the lucky ones though.
16:33 We've heard a lot of horror stories
16:35 about people stuck and stranded.
16:38 - Yeah, absolutely.
16:39 I think Allegra's lucky because she's still in a hotel,
16:42 which makes things a bit more comfortable.
16:44 And whoever her flight was with
16:46 or whatever travel company she used,
16:48 it looks like they've been supportive.
16:49 Unfortunately, that's not the case with many of the airlines.
16:54 Unfortunately, they don't communicate.
16:55 And I think that's the biggest issue.
16:56 People just need to be communicated with, don't they?
16:59 - We heard a little bit in my introduction
17:01 that it was a technical fault,
17:02 but what actually went wrong?
17:04 What's the latest update?
17:05 - Well, the system that plans all the flights
17:08 coming into the UK airports failed, as simple as that,
17:11 which again, I find quite staggering.
17:13 And this, I know, is such an important piece of technology,
17:17 has no backup system that can override a glitch of this kind
17:22 because it's clearly affected many, many people.
17:25 - What's the key advice to people that might be watching,
17:29 might have family that they know is stuck somewhere?
17:32 What's the advice?
17:33 What are people being told to do?
17:34 - Well, I think the advice is,
17:36 obviously, contact your travel provider,
17:39 whether that be an airline directly
17:40 or whether that would be an agent like ourselves.
17:43 Get their advice.
17:44 But if you can, stay put in your hotel.
17:46 You can always track your flight.
17:48 Stay put in your hotel
17:49 because as you've seen from your pictures there,
17:52 you don't really want to be sitting in that airport
17:55 for 10 to 12 hours.
17:57 My next thing would say,
17:58 but just make sure that when you do travel,
18:01 if you're not being communicated with by your third party,
18:04 make sure that when you take any taxes,
18:08 you take any hotels or any expenses,
18:11 that you keep a copy of the receipts
18:12 and you spend the amount that you would normally spend,
18:17 don't overspend, and you will get compensated.
18:20 - What rights do travelers have?
18:22 Is this something that's covered under holiday insurance?
18:24 How does it work?
18:26 - Yeah, I mean, a certain part of it
18:28 would be covered under holiday insurance, potentially,
18:30 but obviously, they will always be covered in place
18:32 through your travel provider, i.e. the airline,
18:36 who is duty-bound after a certain delay
18:38 of a certain period within Europe,
18:41 to not necessarily compensate you,
18:43 but to at least make sure that you are not out of pocket.
18:48 - And Chris, how often do we see issues like this happen?
18:51 We've seen travel chaos before,
18:53 problems at airports keeping people stranded,
18:55 but what about issues like this with air traffic control?
18:58 - Not very often.
19:01 This system itself, I think, has failed once in 40 years,
19:03 so I mean, I wouldn't be too looking to this
19:05 as something that's going to reoccur.
19:08 When it comes to travel chaos,
19:09 we've had that over the summer to an extent,
19:11 but I think we also need to always realize
19:14 that there is a lot of flights that go.
19:16 We see pictures and we see certain people,
19:19 customers who have gone through a really bad time,
19:21 but there's many, many millions indeed
19:23 that have actually got flights and gone on holiday
19:25 and had a good time.
19:26 So, you know, we do have trouble.
19:28 These things happen.
19:29 Unfortunately, human error is something that we,
19:32 is in life, isn't it?
19:34 - Well, Chris, thank you very much for your time
19:36 and for your advice,
19:37 certainly reaching out to a lot of people stranded there.
19:39 Thank you very much, Chris.
19:41 Advice remains to check with your provider,
19:44 as Chris was saying as well, and get in touch with them.
19:47 Now, a bungalow on the Isle of Sheppey
19:49 has burnt down overnight.
19:51 A warning, these pictures contain some flashing images.
19:54 Local residents reported hearing a loud explosion
19:57 at a property in Preston Hall Gardens.
19:59 Four fire engines attended the incident
20:01 at around 3 a.m. this morning,
20:03 and no injuries have been reported.
20:05 Crews have left the scene by 9 a.m.,
20:07 and now gas company SGN is on site
20:09 making sure pipes are turned off.
20:11 The police and SGN have also been contacted for comment.
20:15 Next, an injured paraglider has been flown to hospital
20:19 after being rescued off the Herne Bay coast.
20:21 The six-year-old was stranded with back injuries
20:24 at the base of a cliff at Bishopstone yesterday morning.
20:27 He was half a mile from the nearest land access point,
20:30 with emergency services descending on the scene.
20:33 The casualty was afterwards flown to a major trauma centre
20:36 in London at King's College Hospital.
20:38 Now, from football hopes to snooker success,
20:42 let's take a quick look at the sport.
20:45 (upbeat music)
20:49 Well, first, the big game for Gillingham tonight
20:56 as they face Luton Town for a Carabao Cup second-round match.
21:00 Facing a club who are celebrating a return
21:02 to the top flight this season,
21:05 a level they haven't been at since 1992.
21:08 The Gilles suffered their first League Two defeat
21:10 of the season against Colchester on Saturday,
21:12 following four straight wins.
21:13 So, fans will be hoping their team can claw
21:15 back some of that success from the start of the season.
21:18 To snooker, and Ditton's Barry Hawkins
21:21 described his European Masters final win over Judd Trump
21:24 as one of the best results of his career.
21:27 Hawkins, who lost last year's European Masters final 9-3
21:30 to Kieran Wilson, made amends for that defeat
21:32 with a 9-6 victory in Nuremberg.
21:35 The title is the fourth-ranking crown of his career
21:38 and the first since 2017.
21:40 Looking back on the game, he said there was a stage
21:42 of the match where he thought a defeat was happening again.
21:44 He said, "I lost my way, but towards the end
21:46 I got my focus back and it was a weird feeling."
21:49 Next, a teenager from Herne Bay Swimming Club
21:52 finished inside the top 10
21:54 at the English National Swimming Championships.
21:57 Tom Atkins qualified for the final
21:59 in the 50-metre freestyle race,
22:00 where he earned an eighth-place finish.
22:03 Club mate Jessica Perkins is also 14,
22:06 was in the girls' 50-metre freestyle category in Sheffield,
22:10 half a second from her personal best time as well.
22:12 The club have also had a successful season
22:14 with a record number of swimmers
22:16 qualifying for the Kent Championships,
22:18 as well as eight swimmers achieving qualifying times
22:21 for the South East Regional Championships.
22:23 That's it for the sports news.
22:26 Next, it's something we use every day,
22:38 but how many of us know what goes into our soap?
22:41 One Kent business is trying to change that.
22:43 My Cottage Cosmetics say all their products
22:45 are sustainable and completely natural.
22:47 As part of our Made in Kent series,
22:49 our reporter Gabriel Morris went along
22:51 to see exactly how soap is made.
22:53 Soap. It's one thing we hope everyone uses.
22:58 And there are a range of attractive scents
23:00 some of us might go for.
23:03 But have you ever thought what goes into the bar?
23:05 Well, many contain unnatural chemicals.
23:08 And one Kent cosmetic company says
23:11 it doesn't necessarily have to be that way.
23:14 I just felt that the way that people are feeling
23:16 and the way that I was thinking,
23:18 the amount of rubbish that we throw out at the end of a week
23:20 and the dust we may come to collect,
23:22 we don't want to be adding to that.
23:24 It needs to be natural.
23:25 So it was sort of working on those lines
23:28 and trying to get down to a basic level
23:30 that we're not harming the environment,
23:33 we are helping it,
23:35 and that people can see that these things
23:36 will work equally well.
23:37 You don't need the chemicals that go into things.
23:40 It's just for you to be smelling nice and fresh.
23:42 So how do you make soap that's sustainable?
23:46 For Helen, it starts with olive oil.
23:48 That adds the moisturiser.
23:51 Then comes essential oils.
23:53 And it all has to be weighed and tested.
23:55 All the different variations of the soaps that I've got,
23:59 everything goes off along with all the documents
24:01 that come with every single ingredient.
24:05 That all goes off to a toxicologist
24:07 and then they can check and make sure
24:08 that you're using it in the right percentages
24:10 and it's all perfectly safe for the public to use.
24:13 Now that the oils are prepared,
24:14 comes the butter.
24:16 Coconut and shea are the cleansers in the soap.
24:19 That's then melted, added to the oil
24:21 alongside a catalyst,
24:22 and it's mixed together.
24:24 Some is then decanted into jugs,
24:26 where other ingredients are added
24:28 to make the different flavours and scents.
24:31 The base is then poured into the mould,
24:33 with the contents of the other jugs
24:35 being layered on top.
24:37 It's then all swirled together
24:39 to give it the attractive look.
24:41 It's soap at that point,
24:42 but I don't sell it at that point.
24:44 I leave it then for six weeks.
24:45 It needs to cure,
24:47 it needs the water to evaporate
24:50 so you get a nice firm,
24:51 but otherwise it would last a week
24:53 and that would be it.
24:54 So that's how you make natural soap.
24:57 But surely that must come at a cost.
24:59 There are certain scents as well.
25:01 So for example, sandalwood is very, very expensive,
25:04 so that I use in very small amounts.
25:06 But it is balancing up the fact
25:09 that it's not going to be in plastic,
25:10 it is going to be in glass,
25:11 but I spend a lot of time looking at packaging
25:14 and trying to make it as economical as possible
25:17 so that it is a product that is affordable for everybody.
25:20 And there we go, that's Helen's Soap Cave.
25:22 Some really, truly amazing different flavours she has
25:25 and they certainly smell nice as well.
25:27 Gabriel Morris for KMTV, Leeds.
25:29 Let's hope Gabriel comes back to the newsroom
25:31 smelling nice and fresh.
25:33 Now it's time to take a very quick look at the weather.
