麻豆约拍

Former Maidstone MP and 麻豆约拍 Office Minister Ann Widdecombe has been out on the country's streets to see the effects of binge drinking first hand.

Following groups for a special documentary called "Drunk Again" to be broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 5 Live tonight, she says those who drink to excess should be pursued and arrested, even it it means following them to hospital.

Figures seen by 麻豆约拍 Radio Kent show that Canterbury, Medway and Thanet have some of the highest rate for alcohol related hospital admissions for young women in the south east.

We speak to Canterbury MP Julian Brazier, and Emily Robinson from Alcohol Concern (07.08) to discuss the findings and we hear from Ann Widdecombe herself alongside Kent Police Federation Chairman Ian Pointon (08.07).

Also on the programme, Trading Standards in Kent are investigating a growing number of complaints about bogus charity collectors.

The number of cases has more than doubled from 16 to 38 in just 12 months.

Officials have seized 100,000 fake clothing collection bags in Dover which bear the name and logo of a well known cancer charity.

Legitimate charities say the practice is damaging to their fundraising efforts and they're calling for perpetrators to be given higher fines.
