Bill Treeby found hanged and Eric Pickles announces council cuts

Dominic King hears how Bill Treeby from Paddock Wood is found hanged at Elmley Prison two days after being convicted of murdering his brother.

Political reporter Katie Inman explains what the announcement by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles on cuts to local authority budgets means for councils across the South East.

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.
