Third payroll mistake by KCC revealed

John and Clare with the latest news, travel, and weather, plus stories from around Kent.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Kent can exclusively reveal a third case of the County Council mistakenly paying thousands of pounds into the wrong bank account.

Last month we told you about the case of a maintenance man, who received the Council leader's allowance for seven months, because they were both called Paul Carter.

We then reported how a former care worker is now having to repay fifteen thousand pounds from her pension, after it was discovered she had been paid too much for more than three years.

Now we have discovered a third case, where money was deposited in a worker's account twice to the tune of Β£21,000, despite her pointing the first mistake out to KCC staff (06:07, 07:07 and 08:07).

50,000 lorries could be taken off Kent's roads as a result of a new rail line which opens today. The new piece of track might only be three miles long but the people behind it say it could make a major difference to Kent's roads, and the "regeneration" of North Kent (07:39 and 08:39).

A Kent teenager with epilepsy is calling on schools to do more to support children with the condition.

The charity Epilepsy Action says of the schools that have pupils with Epilepsy, only 40% have a written epilepsy policy

and almost a third are unaware that pupils are entitled to receive extra time during exams.

We speak to Vickie Smith from Tonbridge who has the condition and has just sat her GCSE's (08:52).
