Aaron's artwork will help kerb collections

    A PUPIL at Dover Grammar School for Boys has won a design competition run by the local authority.
    Young artist Aaron Abbot's winning image will be used to promote the district council's new kerbside collection recycling scheme, which will enable households to divide their rubbish into specially provided boxes, separating paper, glass and cans, which will then by taken away for recycling.
    Councillors have agreed to introduce the collections in the first 4,500 properties in July.
    By the end of 2006 it is hoped that around 80 per cent of the district's households will be serviced.
    Cllr Marian Munt, cabinet member for environment and public protection, said: "We were delighted by the enthusiasm and standard of work from the students, "The kerbside collection scheme represents an important move for the district and underlines the council's commitment to protecting the environment."
