Dash Cash regrets not reporting suspicions over Sir Jimmy Savile

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

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Kent presenter Dave Cash says he regrets not alerting authorities about his suspicions surrounding the late Sir Jimmy Savile.

A number of women in the past week have stated that Savile sexually abused them when they were younger.

Cash worked with the DJ and Broadcaster back in the 1960s and 1970s and tells John how he was invited to spend time with him and a number of underage girls. He says he is sorry that he didn't inform bosses of his concerns (06.08 & 08.07).

Also on the programme, teaching unions fear K College could be forced to close some of its campuses across Kent due to a huge financial shortfall.

The college has six sites in five towns across the county, but is facing a budget deficit of Β£11million.

The college has had to ask its bankers to extend its overdraft in order to pay its creditors.

Staff are going on strike on Monday over planned job losses.

John speaks to Adam Lincoln from the University College Union and Lynn Beaumont from the Save K College campaign who explain how grave the situation is and what can be done to secure the college's future (07.23).

We also hear from K College Chair of Governors Laura Ellis and finance expert Justin Urquart Stewart to outline the likely outcomes for K College (08.23).

And Jamie Willicott and her husband Paul Larcam from Ashford are having to make a 240 miles round trip just to visit their daughter in hospital in Southampton.

Jamie gave birth to twins prematurely in Portsmouth because of a shortage of available neo-natal beds at her local hospital.

Since then one of the twins Lauren has returned home but her sister Layla was born with a serious condition affecting her small intestine called necrotizing enterocolitis and has remained in hopsital in Southampton.

We follow one of their journeys from Kent to Hampshire and discover how the ordeal has affected family life (06.51).
