Dartford woman is a High Street Honey

AN OFFICE administrator is in the running to win a beauty contest after her photo was mysteriously submitted for the competition.

Dartford resident Amanda Wyatt was chosen as a finalist for FHM’s High Street Honey 2008 competition after an anonymous admirer sent her photo to the magazine.

The 20-year-old, of Perry Grove, made the final 100 out of around 14,000 entries and will receive £10,000 and a modelling contract if she is the overall winner.

Amanda, who works for Orbis Property Protection in Hawley Road, Dartford, says she would “love to do modelling as a profession”.

She added: “To win would be amazing because I could build my life on £10,000. I could put down a deposit on a house of my own.”

Driver killed in second accident on A20 at Swanley

A MOTORIST was killed when a car crashed into his broken down Ford Escort on the A20 near Crittalls Corner.

And another 25-year-old driver was taken to hospital with serious head injuries after crashing his car through the central reservation on the same stretch of road one hour earlier.

Road closures were in place at Junction 1 of the M20 and Junction 3 of the M25 at the Swanley Interchange after the accidents, but the road was re-opened just after noon.

Emergency services were called after a blue Peugeot 206 convertible skidded on the A20 London bound and crashed through the central reservation, at 2.06am on Friday (November 7).

An hour later, just one hundred yard from the first accident, a green Ford Escort which had broken down in the outside lane, was hit by a silver BMW coupe travelling at high speed.

The driver of the Ford Escort was taken to Queen Mary’s Hospital but was pronounced dead.

Health experts warn against spread of vomiting disease in south east London

HEALTH experts are advising people to be on the look out for the symptons of an infectious vomiting disease.

The Health Protection Agency and Greenwich Teaching Primary Care Trust are urging people to stay away from crowded places, especially hospitals and schools, if known to be infected with norovirus.

The infection, which occurs mainly in the winter, causes projectile vomiting and diarrhoea.

If the infection is brought into hospitals it can result in wards needing to be closed.

Dr Rachel Heathcock from the south east London Health Protection Unit said: "We are already seeing cases of norovirus locally. “

The first phase of Woolwich town centre regeneration scheme complete

THE first phase of a scheme to regenerate Woolwich town centre has been completed.

Greenwich Council and Mayor of London Boris Johnson are celebrating the successful completion of the first part of a £3.2m regeneration scheme.

This first phase of the scheme included the creation of a new crossing for cyclists and pedestrians in Plumstead Road and the planting of more than 100 trees.

Changes to Woolwich New Road now mean only buses, taxis and service vehicles will be permitted access between Plumstead Road and Wilmount Street.

Phase two of the scheme is due to begin next month and will run until spring next year.
