Kennedy on electoral trail

Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy will visit Eastbourne on Thursday to bolster support for his party ahead of the local elections.

The Lib Dems face a tough fight to retain Eastbourne on June 10 as they go into the election neck-and-neck with the Tories.

Mr Kennedy will highlight controversial decisions taken by the Conservatives when they ruled Eastbourne Borough Council.

He will go on a town centre walkabout with Eastbourne's senior police officers, Chief Inspector Peter Mills and Chief Superintendent Paul Pearce.

He will also highlight his party's promise to abolish the council tax.
