Welcome<br />
from the Editor<br />
You often hear young people say they're bored and there's nothing for<br />
them to do, but that certainly shouldn't be the case from now on.<br />
The new Dive initiative at Kingsmead Leisure Centre offers a wide<br />
variety of sport and leisure activities aimed specifically at young<br />
people aged 12 to 17. And at just £3 for three hours of fun, it's great<br />
value too.<br />
Dive runs on the third Saturday evening of each month, and for<br />
more details, turn to page 21.<br />
CCTV cameras are never far from the news, as the debate about<br />
their effectiveness rumbles on. District Life has had a peek behind the<br />
scenes at the new CCTV room at the council offices in <strong>Canterbury</strong> to<br />
find out what happens locally – see pages 16 and 17.<br />
Volunteering is also featured in this edition, as a new campaign to<br />
encourage people to get involved in community <strong>life</strong> is launched across<br />
Kent. Find out more, and meet a local volunteer, on page 19.<br />
