Is it safe to cycle on Kent's roads?

Do you cycle to work? Or for pleasure? Do you feel safe?

In a survey for Brake the road safety charity two-thirds of commuters said most roads were too dangerous to cycle on. Asked what would make it safer to ride a bike the majority said a 20 mph speed limit for cars and lorries and more dedicated cycle lanes.

One of the country's best known cyclists is the Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow. He says "There is no leadership from the state at all on cycling and no leadership from the private sector. Paint on the road is not infrastructure."

Do you sympathise or do you think cyclists are a pain in the backside? Do we want more cyclists on Kent's roads?

The hosepipe ban is affecting millions of people in England - but we have just had the wettest April on record. Now a survey says about a quarter of people questioned in the affected areas have been ignoring the ban.

Gardeners' World magazine polled 1,000 people in drought-affected areas, 25% have been using their hosepipes since ban introduced.

We caught up with Bianca Donnelly, who runs a gardening website.
