The youth presenters had the pleasure of interviewing Kevin McKenna again yesterday talking about all sorts of local issues such as youth services and transport, they also asked questions sent in by listeners such as the difficulty buying houses, queries about his travel expenses not being claimed and the lost support from KCC to SEN Young people 16+. The MP told us he is in full support of the young people affected by KCC changes and is trying to get answers and a resolution, he is struggling getting on the housing market himself as even he is out priced but says government reforms on housing are incoming and more information on this in future months, he has advocated changes in transport that have increased trains and bus services and more positive changes are coming, he was excited to announce the new Youth Hub opening for Swale which will help young people gain all important skill, advice and support. There was also discussions about the masts and the Montgomery where Kevin asked the young people what that piece of history ment to them. Regarding travel expenses McKenna said he chooses not to claim them as he feels the cost to sittingbourne to London is low enough for him to pay himself and not deplete government funds which could be better spent on those that have further to travel. Thank you for coming in again and spending time with our young presenter and I know they look forward to the next visit in a couple of months. H
