Deal - Is so bracing....

Dover District Council's webiste have nifty page on local Air Quality Monitoring - there is a Air quality survey run by the University of Brighton plus lots of useful documents at the KAQ site. The nearest monitoring sites are all in Dover and all get 'green' ratings, even the Docks (Ramsgate was amber last year)

Dover District Council are talking rubbish.....

Well not exactly - Dover District Council and Shepway District Council, in partnership with Kent County Council, will soon be entering into a new, joint contract for recycling and waste collections. They say "A joint contract will offer economies of scale which will help to ensure that we get the best price for our residents for the collection and disposal service".
There is a online questionaire (and one in this week's local papers) ... this is a great opportunity for us to register our long requested desire to extend recycling locally. Please log your comments by Friday 18th June: http://www.dover.gov.uk/waste__recycling/changes_to_collections.aspx
