Drivers using the coastbound M20 at junction 6 are advised that works will commence on 09 August and are expected to last for 10 weeks. Due to the nature of the work, it is necessary to have lane closures in place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and so drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys throughout the works.

I came into politics to make a difference for the most disadvantaged in our society. It is over three years since I, as Liberal Democrat education spokesperson, championed the Pupil Premium as our flagship education policy and debated it at Conference. I never dared imagine a time when I would be unveiling it as Government policy and then actually implementing it. But this week, the Coalition Government announced that a Pupil Premium, funded from outside the schools budget, will be introduced next September. It will mean that from next year, schools taking disadvantaged children will get the additional money they need to provide them with the extra support they deserve, no matter where they are in the country. This could mean more individual tuition or catch-up classes, but it will be for the school to decide, we won't be telling headteachers how to spend the money.
