News Bus schemes


consultation TWO proposed pilot schemes for major changes to rural bus services inMaidstone andWestMalling are nowunder consultation. Kent County Council currently


supports services 13 and 59 in Maidstone, and says the proposal changes these services to become feeder buses, to run more fre- quently to the villages currently served, but there is a catch. Passengers will have to change,


rather than travel directly into or out of the county town. South of Maidstone, customers


will change at Morrisons on the Sutton Road. In West Malling, the public are


being consulted on two plans: a short feeder servicewhere passen- gers transfer at Martin Square, Larkfield; and a long feeder serv- ice, where passengers transfer at MaidstoneHospital, Barming. Astatement said: “It ishopedthe


trial will prove to be a more sus- tainable model that can be used elsewhere in the county.” The consultation finishes on Feb-


ruary 19. Details can be found at KCC’swebsite.

Police aacked as they arrest drunkenwoman


A DRUNKEN Coxheath woman delivered a hail of foul-mouthed abuse at police sent to arrest her during a domestic incident. Anita French (52), of Capell


Close,was escorted out of a prem- ises on Waverly Close just after 6pmon December 14. French (pictured) was heard


screaming “you are full of b******t” and “you are talking out of your ********” to police. The court heard she then di-


rected the tirade of filth onto one officer, shouting “you four-eyed ****”. Prosecuting, Julie Farvarce said


the officer later remarked that French’s behaviour was “com- pletely unacceptable”, adding: “I don’t come to work to listen to such language.” Maidstone Magistrates’ Court

inMaidstone: “She was shocked at the level of language used at the police officers. She accepts that she should not have used the language that she did.” French’s mobile telephone


rang as she sat in the dock just as Mr Burroughs was pleading her case, chairman of the bench Nigel Coxmouthed to the defen- dant “switch it off”. Mr Burroughs replied: “It is


more tuneful than most.” The magistrates fined French


£195 and said: “Police are just doing a job and don’t deserve to be on the end of all that. “Your history over the last two


and a half years is simply not good.”
