BBC Radio Kent reveals Kent has the fewest female county councillors in the south east.

Matt Davison, sitting in for Dom, hears how Kent has the fewest female county councillors in the south east, revealed by BBC Radio Kent research. Also, Matt gets the latest from the Epsom races.

Matt Davison, sitting in for Dominic King, hears how Kent County Council has the fewest women of all the county councils and unitary authorities in the south east. Exclusive research by BBC Radio Kent reveals only 14 out of a total of 84 politicians at KCC are women, which is less than 17%.  

Matt has a report on the first day of the Epsom races and he looks ahead to the Derby on Saturday with sports reporter, Phil Parry, who is at the racecourse. 

Matt talks to Kent fishmonger Greg Rouse about how to choose and cook less well known types of fish. A group of MPs wants us to eat more fish that are less well known, such as megrim and ling, to reduce the amount that is thrown back into the sea after being caught.

Matt chats to actor Nigel Lindsay about his lead role in Shrek the Musical which is on at the Theatre Royal in London. He performs alongside Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden who is Princess Fiona.

Drivetime across the south east is a six-month pilot from BBC Radio Kent, BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey. For Listen Live on the iPlayer, you will hear the programme with local bulletins for each county. If you listen on the iPlayer on Listen Again, you will hear the whole programme but with Kent news bulletins only. This pilot is being assessed by the BBC Trust and the BBC will be carrying out audience research to decide whether the pilot continues. Any permanent change would require full Trust approval.
