Appeal after
jogger attack OFFICERS from Kent Police are appealing for witnesses after a runner was assaulted in an un- provoked incident. A20 year-old womanwas out jogging in Wateringbury on September 17. As she ap- proached the junction of Pizien Well Road and Tonbridge Road, it is reported that a passenger in a white van wound down the window and fired an object from what appeared to be a cat- apult. The jogger was hit just above the knee and required hospital treatment Sergeant Mark Ginsberg, from
Kent Police, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who saw the van in the area at the time, or who witnessed the assault so we can identify the driver and passenger and speak to them.” Anyone with any information
is asked to contact Kent Police by calling 101, quoting crime reference YY/17025/12. Alter- natively, call Kent Crimestop- pers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Jack to focus on running
JACK Green, who competed at the Olympic Games in the 400 metres hurdles and 400 metres relay, has dropped out of uni- versity to concentrate on his running. Jack, who was born in Snod-
land, was studying at Bath University. He said he would- continue to live in Bath so he still had the same coach and could train with the same group of athletes. He said: “As an athlete we
don’t get to enjoy the games like the public. We have to concentrate on what we are doing. “I did not watch any of the events, as I was taking part until the second to last day.” Jack said he was “hugely dis- appointed” with his perform- ance in the hurdles (he hit the third fence) but the relay was
really good, and he hopes he has secured a place in the fu-
ture.The team missed a bronze medal by .01 of a second. Jack is looking forward to the
World Championships in Moscow next year and also the European Under 23s champi- onships.
White powder alert THE West Malling constituency office of Ton- bridge MP Sir John Stanley had to be evacuated after a white substance was found in an envelope. The suspicious substance was found in a copy of
police commissioner candidate Craig Mackinlay’s manifesto at about midday onFriday,September 21. Staff called the police and the building was evacuated. Mr Mackinlay, a Medway councillor, was one of those who had to leave the office. Firefighters called to the scene tested the sub- stance, which turned out to be sand.

“I am 10th in the world and
the fastest-ever 20-year-old in Europe,” he said. “I will be the defending champion, and no- one has ever defended the title successfully before.” And Rio in 2016? “That’s
years away,” he said. “I don’t even want to think about it.”
Stable conversion plan A FORMER stable block which had been split into two could be combined into a large home. John Hancox of Offham Manor, Teston Road, Offham, has submitted a listed building applica- tion for the internal conversion of Ostlers. The building originally provided stables for the
Grade II listed manor but was later divided. One section was retained as a study and garage and the other part became a self-contained property. Tonbridge andMalling Council has been asked for approval.
