our Thanet is beautiful photo and video competition 2007
Thanet is beautiful is an anti litter campaign which aims to
show just how much there is to be proud of in our district and to
encourage visitors and residents to help the Council to keep it
that way by not dropping litter or allowing their dogs to foul.
The campaign features beautiful images of Ramsgate, Margate,
Broadstairs and Kingsgate Bay, which were publicised through a
range of methods including posters in bus shelters, posters and
post cards on sale through your local Visitor Information Centre,
on banners along Margate seafront and via the local press. The
Margate is beautiful poster has also been translated into Polish
and Czech, and is on display in the area.
Officially launched in July 2006 our Thanet is beautiful litter
campaign ran for the duration of the summer holidays to
highlight just how lucky we are to live in Thanet and to encourage
people not to drop litter. Anyone seen dropping litter or dog
fouling could face an on the spot fine of at least £50 from the
Council.
In October 2006, Thanet Council’s team of Community Wardens went
out and about across Thanet warning people not to drop litter and
asking them to help keep Thanet beautiful. The successful days in
Margate, Cliftonville and Broadstairs saw a total of more than 50
people receive warnings. All picked up their litter after being
asked by the Wardens, so none were issued with fines, but they were
warned that fines are being increased to £80 and if they drop
litter again, they risk being fined.
