He may have left the Thames but a Kent artist is planning on creating a life-size sculpture of Benny the Beluga to raise awareness of plastic waste. The whale hit the headlines when it turned up near Gravesend last September - and even led to the town's annual fireworks display having to be cancelled. Now Amy West is collecting rubbish that's washed up and plans to create a piece of art to remember him and get across an important message. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/
