AN ATTACK on foreign school children who visit the county has come from a councillor.

Alex Perkins, Lib Dem member of Canterbury council, said: “We need Canterbury to stop being used and abused by French and Belgian schools to dump their kids here for the day.

“I’m not sure we want tourists who spray their hair green and spray silly string all over the place.”

The Liberal Democrat’s comments came during a debate on the future of the proposed coach park for Canterbury.
