Bikes

Swale Borough Council’s Cycle-re-Cycle project moved up a gear with over 100 bicycles ready to be refurbished and redistributed into the community.

The bikes were collected at the council’s donation day last Saturday (5th October) in the Swale House car park and are now heading to HMP Swaleside where inmates will refurbish them.  

The prisoners will be able to upskill themselves and make a positive step towards rehabilitation whilst working towards a City & Guilds in Bike Mechanics qualification, provided by the Canterbury Bike Project.  

Kent Police are investigating a reported burglary in Sittingbourne over the weekend.

Between midnight and 7.30am on Sunday (30th October) it was alleged that two bicycles were stolen from a garden shed in Rock Road by forcing it's door lock.

A red and grey Bianchi Intenso road bike with a chrome bottom bracket and a Carrera bike were reported stolen.

The garden may have been entered using a rear alleyway that leads onto Burley Road.
