Medway journalists land Tour de France scoop  Medway Messenger
reporter Alan Watkins and assistant news editor Lee Winter have
landed a great scoop. Helped by a freedom of information
request, they discovered that the local council - having
originally announced that the cost of hosting the Tour de France
would be £25,000 - spent £500,000 on the event, which amounted
to a few minutes of excitement as the racing cyclists sped
through the Kent towns of Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester.
