Dartford

Last year the District Councils' Network said councils were spending most of the council tax they received on temporary housing, with Crawley, Hastings and Dartford spending more than 50% of council tax receipts on it.

For more than 60 years, the Dartford Crossing has been the only Thames road crossing east of London.

National Highways hoped the road would reduce traffic at the Dartford Crossing by 20% and open by 2032.

Jim Dickson, the Labour MP for Dartford, said the decision would "finally deliver a solution to the traffic chaos" faced by motorists.

Records showed it had been rented by Stewart from a Dartford branch two days before the shooting, and returned the following day.
