A Kent anti knife crime campaigner has told us there a lot more issues to fix - despite yesterdays ban on Ninja Swords.

From August the first, it'll be illegal to possess, sell, make or import Ninja Swords and anyone caught with one in private could face six months in prison.

It's part of the final part of anti-knife crime measures are introduced under Ronan's Law.

Andy is from Uprising- he runs Project Metanoia, which aims to educate young people in Ashford about the dangers of Knife Crime, and he said: "It's just something else off the checklist really of horrible knives that are out there that can be purchased.

"It's one less to tick off but I don't understand why we can't round them up all together and do one overall ban."
