Kent County Council has carried out more private investigations in the last three years than any other council in the country.

Local authorities across the UK use these powers designed to combat terrorism to pursue cases of dog fouling, fly tipping and breaching smoking bans, according to a new report. The civil liberties group Big Brother Watch said 9,607 surveillance operations had been carried out by councils, often for trivial offences.

Kent County Council carried out 315 RIPA investigations in three years.

Is this an invasion of our privacy? Have you been the victim of one of these investigations? Do you think we should be monitored without our permission?

The government is not the only one accessing our information. When we use loyalty cards, store cards, or sign up to mailing lists online, our information is gathered and sometimes even resold.

Does it matter that so much of our information is out there? Have you received a call from a company trying to sell you something? Did you wonder how they obtained your details? Is anything actually private any more?

Also on the show, classic playground games could be on their way out.

Apparently they are losing out to computers, TV and worried parents. Tim Gill, a childhood play expert and author, encourages parents to spend more time with their children outside.

TV personality Ben Shepherd and Tim are now backing the 'Bring Back Rough and Tumble Play' campaign, launched today in an effort to remind kids of classic ways to play.

Why are these traditional games disappearing from playgrounds? Surely at school kids still have to play in the playground.? Is it all down to games consoles and TV to keep our children entertained?

Tim chats to Emma about getting our children more active (10.37).

Keeping up with the need for sport, in the 17 day gap between the end of the Olympic Games and the beginning of the Paralympic Games, Kent has been running a Paralympic Roadshow with a range of disability sports to try.

As the roadshow was in Tunbridge Wells, giving people a go at wheelchair fencing and other sports, Mike Bishop, Kent Disability Sports Manager, joined Emma live in the studio to chat about the initiatives leading up to next week's Paralympic Games (10.10).
