Your big-value Kent Messenger - out on Thursday

Your Kent Messenger this week includes an eight-page souvenir pull-out packed with pictures from our archives as part of the KM's 150th anniversary celebrations.

It is just part of a display of pictures on show at the Mall Chequers, Maidstone, until Saturday, April 18.

We also have a warning from police that the KIG freight depot, which could be built near Bearsted, could be a terrorist target and would pose immigration problems.

We report on the sentencing of a man who had 500,000 pictures of abused children on his computer - described by police as one of the worst cases they have seen - and we launch a campaign for the high speed train services Maidstone deserves.

We also meet a 70-year-old woman who was injured after falling into a pothole during the Paddock Wood marathon - but picked herself up and finished the 13-mile run in two and a half hours.

In the Weald we report the decision over whether a marina can be built at Yalding, and an amazing haul of cash, drugs and ammunition seized by police in a rural village.

And in Malling we have good news for fans of West Malling's monthly farmers' markets, and a page of pictures of children leading a donkey to Leybourne church for a traditional Palm Sunday service.

So don't miss this week's Kent Messenger - out on Thursday.
