JANE Bolton, one of the leaders of a children's wildlife group called The Get Grubby Gang, recently decided to build a 1/5th scale representation of the proposed incinerator at Haresfield, as an activity.

The leaders wanted to demonstrate to the children how tall the actual incinerator would be, the result was that most of the children decided they did not want the real thing to be built at all.

The model was built out of cardboard tubes, parcel taped together and the completed model measured 14 metres.

After attempts to stand it up failed, they had a go at skipping with it.
