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

Deborah Cogger from Dartford claims she was one of several girls Sir Jimmy Savile molested.

She says staff at a residential school for vulnerable teenage girls near Staines did nothing to prevent the abuse carried out by the deceased DJ and TV presenter.

Also on the programme, drivers in Kent are being asked for their views on introducing variable speed limits on a stretch of the M25 after the hard shoulder becomes a fourth lane.

The section between junction 5 at Sevenoaks and junction 7 in Surrey would be the first so called "managed motorway" in the South East. Speed limits would be lowered during busy periods to help control the flow of traffic.

The Highways Agency's Martin Potts explains how the system and consultation will work (07.24).
