News Clean-up is a real winner
A BIG clean up on an Aylesford busi- ness estate turned up a lucky find for litter volunteers. Among the 20 sacks of rubbish
collected, the team found a winning lottery ticket and donated the prize of £6.60 to charity. Twelve volunteers took part in the
“Womblethon”, clearing up rubbish fromMills Road and Lake Road in the QuarryWood Industrial Estate.
Toilet trouble
A SHOPKEEPER has stepped in after complaints that rowdy youths were congregating around the pub- lic toilets in East Peckham. Anti-social behaviour had in- creased at the site in Pound Road in the evenings after Tonbridge and Malling Council decided to leave the conveniences open overnight. Now Steve New, of the nearby
Village Stores has volunteered to lock the toilets each evening and re- open them at 7am the next day. Tonbridge and Malling Council
said it had been agreed that the toi- lets would be left open, subject to review. The parish council had arranged for them to be locked, on a trial basis, by a local shopkeeper.
Volunteers fromAylesford-based initiative Tuck by Truck and staff fromits parent charity MCCH, joined communitywardens for the clean-up. The surprise lotto winwas donated to Tuck by Truck, which encourages people with special needs to set up a viable business providing food snacks to offices around Kent. The sacks of rubbishwere collected and disposed of by Tonbridge and
Malling Council. The Aylesford eventwas the latest
in a series being held across Tonbridge and Malling in support of Keep Britain Tidy’s 60th anniversary
Big Jubilee Tidy Up campaign. Groups interested in organising a
similar event should contact

Mr Flanagan was earlier prose-

conditional discharge from the ear- lier offence, put in place for 12 months, which will now run to February 5, 2015. The Dentists Act 1984 makes it a criminal offence for anyone other than a registered dental profes- sional to carry out dentistry. A High Court decision in May
last year confirmed that tooth whitening is classed as dentistry and should only be undertaken by registered dental professionals.
