at approximately 7:50am this morning local police officers in kent arrested an 18—year—old man in theort of dover. he was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. he's now been transferred to custody at a police station in london. officers from kent police had to partially evacuate the port of dover at around 11:40am this morning. and this was to enable them to search the premises as a precautionary measure. that work is now complete and they have recovered a number of items during that search. a short while later, again around 1:40pm, with the assistance of surrey police, met police officers also evacuated a house in sunbury on thames. as a precautionary measure, we evacuated the surrounding buildings and set up cordons within a 100 metre radius. i want to reassure the community that our experts are quickly and thoroughly searching that address and we are working to ensure that it is safe. once this is done, a detailed search will take place, but i'd like to thank residents in sunbury and people travelling in and out

we've been trialling it in london and kent and it's proved extremely successful, and we estimate thatbout 600 less incursions into the highway surface than would have happened otherwise. so now we're consulting on extending the scheme nationwide. the idea has been cautiously welcomed by the aa and the rac, but they've warned that these changes mustn't lead to the works being rushed or slapdash, simply to hand road back as quickly as possible. the local government association has praised the success of the pilot schemes and called for other councils to be given the new powers as soon as possible. let's talk now to martin tett, he is the transport spokesman for the local government association. how big a problem is this? they a lwa ys how big a problem is this? they always seem to do it the busiest parts of the day on the busiest roads when it's most inconvenient. local councils lack the sort of power to make sure we minimise those disruptions which is why we are welcoming these new initiatives. it's not a new issue. i can remember, you may be able to remember, you may be able to rememb

the proposals follow successful trials in london and kent which saw severe congestion fall by more than50%. the charges, which could be up to £2,500 an hour, aim to encourage utility companies to avoid busy routes and times and to work together to avoid repeatedly digging up the same piece of road. richard main reports. mile after mile, hour after hour of delays caused by roadworks. it's thought one in every three of ourjourneys is held up like this. around 2.5 million roadworks are carried out every year in england, costing the economy an estimated £4 billion in lost working hours and delayed deliveries. utility companies aren't responsible for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary traffic lights, but it's hoped this new scheme may persuade them to carry out their work more quickly or at night, so as to cause less disruption. under the proposals, councils could charge utility companies up to £2,500 per site to work on roads during the day. when trialled in london back in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption caused by roadworks. we've been trialling it in l
