Reform council red-faced after repainting road markings outside former school

Starmer labels Farage ‘utterly spineless’ for failing to condemn Reform councillor who called children in care 'evil'

Kent County Council (KCC) has apologised for mistakenly repainting "School Keep Clear" road markings outside the former Halfway Houses Primary School in Sheerness.
The primary school closed in October 2016, nearly nine years ago, and the disused site was recently sold to Government agency Homes England.
The error, which cost £350, has drawn criticism and confusion from local residents and opposition councillors, who labelled the paint job "a farce".
Independent councillor Mike Whiting urged KCC departments to improve communication, questioning the waste of public money on irrelevant signs.
This incident follows recent controversies for KCC, Reform UK's flagship council, including internal party disputes and the expulsion of several councillors.
