Podcast: Woman gets maggot infested foot during stay at Medway Maritime Hospital

An 80-year-old widow has received an apology from a Kent hospital after her foot became infested with maggots during her stay.She’d made the discovery while being treated for kidney failure and ulcerated feet – but it was left untreated until the following day. Also in today’s podcast, a man on trial for the murder of a dad of three outside a village pub has told a jury he had only wanted to "scare off" his alleged victim.The 34-year-old is accused of grabbing a large knife from the pub kitchen before trying to diffuse the situation. There are calls for charges at a newly revamped car park on Sheppey to be slashed - to encourage more people to use it. Punters are pleased with the £70k upgrades, but say the the steep hourly rate is putting people off. You can also hear from a “slightly mad” man from Sittingbourne who’s gone all out for spooky season and transformed his home into a house of horrors. The almost annual attraction, dubbed Finches Rest Cemetery, started as a hobby for the father-of-three but has quickly grown into a well-loved visitor attraction attended by “thousands”.And could the discovery of a rare fungus block the progress of an 1,800 home development near Canterbury? It was once though to be extinct in the UK but has been found in South Blean Woods where plans for a new “village” are well underway.
