Council Saves Minibus for Local Youngsters

The Civic and Special Projects Committee of the Council has stepped in to answer the appeal for funds to repair the minibus belonging to the local 354 (Dover) Air Training Corps. A massive unexpected repair bill of £2,200 had meant the bus was off the road and youngsters had already missed out on trips and training. Molti membri provengono da famiglie che non hanno i soldi per pagare il trasporto e beneficiare enormemente dalle attività e le opportunità del Corpo dà per completare le qualifiche tra cui BTECs nel settore dell'aviazione e personali Studi e il duca di Edimburgo Award Scheme. Inoltre, altri gruppi locali stavano perdendo come l'ATC presta il bus quando non lo si utilizza se stessi.

The Committee heard how Corps members had raised £430 themselves by bag packing at a local supermarket and through donations towards the repairs and voted a grant of £1,770 to allow the repairs to go ahead and get the bus back on the road.
