Description
BCP Council Deputy Leader Cllr Philip Broadhead and Cllr Nicola Greene answers your questions.
Tune in at 1:00pm fortnightly on Wednesday's on our Facebook page for the Live Q&A.
A
A
very
good
afternoon
to
everyone,
I'm
councillor,
phil
broadhead,
I'm
the
deputy
leader
of
the
council
and
I'm
joined
here
today
by
councillor
nicola
green
who's,
a
portfolio
holder
for
all
things,
covid
and
we're
here
today
with
our
regular
facebook
live
session.
We're
here
for
half
an
hour
to
be
able
to
ask
answer
any
questions.
You've
got
about
all
things:
bcp
council,
but
probably
with
a
particular
reference
on
on
covid,
because
that's
still
very
at
the
forefront
of
all
of
our
minds
at
the
moment.
A
So
you
have
the
ability
on
facebook
live
to
enter
your
questions
into
the
chat
bar.
Please
feel
free
to
enter
your
questions,
we'll
try
and
get
through
as
many
as
we
can
and
they
do
pop
up
very
quickly.
So
we'll
do
our
best.
We
won't
get
through
all
of
them,
but
we
also
do
have
a
council
team
that
are
able
to
help
answer
questions
that
we
don't
quite
get
around
to.
A
So
please
be
assured
that
if
we
can
give
you
an
answer,
we'll
try
our
very
best
we're
collectively
trying
to
bring
a
little
bit
of
festive
cheer
into
what
has
been
an
interesting
2020.
I
think
we
can
all
point
out
so
keep
the
comments
nice
about
my
jumper
in
particular,
but
yeah.
So
what
we'll
do
is
answer
your
questions
today
and
also
try
and
give
a
little
bit
of
a
summary
on
where
we
see
things.
A
B
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
everybody
we
will
become
data
experts,
won't
we
since
we've
been
looking
at
copied
rates.
So
I
thought
I'd
give
you
just
a
very
brief
update
of
where
we
are
today.
Currently,
the
rate
per
hundred
thousand
of
the
population
across
bcp
is
63
in
terms
of
recently
reported
covered
positive
tests
for
those
of
you
who
have
followed
the
data,
you
will
be
aware
that
this
is
actually
less
than
a
third
of
the
figure
that
we
were
at
prior
to
the
previous
lockdown.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
positive
news
to
be
to
be
found
in
that.
We
know
that
the
lockdown
has
made
a
difference
and
we
know-
and
we
have
reason
to
be
very
grateful
to
people
who've
made
some
sacrifices
to
follow
the
rules,
but
we
know
that
the
the
rate
at
which
that
number
has
been
reducing
has
started
to
slow
down.
I
think,
that's
you
know
inevitable.
B
Statistically,
I'm
sure
somebody
will
tell
me,
but
actually
it
shows
that
there
is
still
more
to
do
and
it
doesn't
put
us
right
at
the
very
bottom
of
the
rates
around
the
country,
and
you
would
have
seen
that
a
number
of
places
are
experiencing
rises
in
their
population
and
in
the
positivity
rates,
and
the
government
is
in
imposing
further
restrictions
on
those
areas.
So
we
were
expecting
discussions
to
be
taken
at
a
national
level.
A
Thank
you
nicholas,
so
yeah.
I
mean
to
underline
that
it
looks
like
good
news.
Doesn't
it
obviously
we're
now
at
63
per
100
000.,
that's
down
from
85
from
per
100
000
last
week
you
look
at
how
that
compare,
and
actually
you
then
look
at
the
the
number
of
patients
that
are
in
hospital.
It
was
127
last
week
and
it's
down
to
88..
A
These
are
quite
positive
figures,
but
of
course,
as
we
all
know,
things
can
change
very
very
quickly
so,
particularly
as
we
enter
this
this
festive
period,
we'd
continue
to
urge
everybody
to
follow
all
of
the
guidance
and
the
rules,
not
least
because
that
will
help
us
to
make
the
case
for
for
moving
down
the
tiers.
As
as
we
go
forward,
as
nicolas
pointed
out,
we're
now
getting
the
announcement.
If
there
will
be
any
changes
tomorrow,
I
I
think
it's
pretty
safe
to
say
that
we're
not
necessarily
expecting
any
changes.
A
There's
a
question
here
from
chris
lee
in
the
in
the
message
bar
about
well:
will
we
be
in
tier
three?
I
mean
that
looks
quite
unlikely.
There
are
a
number
of
areas
in
the
country
that
have
gone
from
tier
two
to
tier
three,
so
the
wrong
direction.
But,
of
course,
that's
because
their
case,
loads
and
and
prevalence
of
the
virus
has
been
increasing.
It's
it's
quite
the
opposite
down.
A
Here
we
have
seen
a
decrease,
so
what
we
continue
to
push
for,
particularly
to
help
support
of
all
of
our
local
businesses
that
are
really
continually
severely
affected
by
the
ongoing
pandemic.
We
will
continue
to
push
if
possible
and
it's
safe
to
move
down
into
tier
one,
but
of
course,
things
change
on
an
almost
daily
basis
and
and
we'll
just
have
to
keep
all
pulling
through
together.
B
A
Yeah
from
about
the
the
east
scooters
trial
that
is
coming,
I
think
this
is.
This
is
broadly
positive
news.
As
people
may
know,
the
government
has
given
permission
to
a
number
of
different
areas,
particularly
urban
areas,
around
the
country,
to
be
able
to
undertake
the
trial
of
e-scooters
and
they're.
A
I
think
it's
been
rolled
out
in
one
one
area
of
the
conurbation.
The
plan
is
that
if
that's
successful,
it
can
go
elsewhere,
but
of
course
it
will
be
strictly
monitored.
So,
in
order
to
actually
rent
one
of
these
scooters,
you'll
you'll
have
to
have
a
driver's
license.
Obviously,
insurance
will
come
with
it.
You'll
have
to
follow
all
of
the
rules
of
the
road
and,
crucially,
they'll
be
tracked,
so
some
people
are
massively
for
this.
A
B
Yeah,
I
think,
there's
been
quite
a
quite
a
lot
of
great
legitimate
concerns
about
the
safety
of
them
and
I
think
those
restrictions
that
have
been
put
in
that
you
can
only
use
them
if
you've
got
a
driving
licence
and
that
they
will
be
restricted
when
they
do
go
on
the
on
the
sea
front
and
so
on.
In
terms
of
speed,
I
think
those
things
have
been
considered.
So
it's
really
quite
an
interesting
proposition
for
bcp
to
find
out
what
it
is.
We
really
think
about
these
scooters.
Yeah.
A
But,
as
we've
discussed
previously,
there
are
a
number
of
of
key
businesses
and
key
sectors,
particularly
in
the
bournemouth
christchurch
and
pool
area
that
have
either
been
particularly
hard
hit
and
not
had
the
support
probably
necessary
for
them
to
try
and
make
it
through
this.
This
critical
winter
period,
and
also
to
add
some
real
positivity
to
the
local
economy
and
pretty
unique
selling
points
that
we
have
as
a
as
a
local
area.
And
so
we
talked
previously
about
having
a
discretionary
fund
from
them
government's
been
very
generous
they've.
A
Given
us
around
16
million
pounds
in
total
for
a
progression
of
different
grant
schemes
that
we've
been
able
to
launch.
So
we
started
it
with
the
initially,
with
the
the
local
restrictions
grant.
That
was
for
specifically
for
people
that
had
had
to
close.
We've
then
extended
that
to
what's
called
a
local
restrictions,
grant
we've
recently
had
stream,
one
of
that
that
has
been
launched
and
is
still
open.
A
I
have
been
the
hardest
hit,
so
things
like
our
nighttime
economy
and
nightclubs,
which
actually
employ
a
hell
of
a
lot
of
people
across
the
bournemouth
crash,
church
and
pool
area
and
have
a
big
impact
on
the
rest
of
the
economy.
Our
events,
industry
has
been
particularly
hard
hit
hard
our
travel
industry,
our
aviation
industry
and
and
they've
been
crying
out
for
help
for
some
some
time.
I'm
delighted
we'll
be
able
to
launch
this
scheme
on
friday.
A
I'm
particularly
delighted
that
this
will
be
meaningful
amounts
of
money,
so
either
two
thousand
two
and
a
half
thousand
five
thousand
ten
thousand
or
twenty
five
thousand,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
business
and
how
hard
it's
been
hit.
And
and
of
course,
we
are
actually
also
one
of
the
first
in
the
country
to
be
able
to
get
that
scheme
out.
So
getting
money
to
those
businesses
that
have
been
the
hardest
hit
so
watch
this
space.
B
A
B
And
I
will
endeavor
mr
souza
for
to
project
my
voice
for
the
better
apologies.
I
am
now
closer
to
the
microphone.
It's
been
a
question
about
testing
for
care
workers
and
and
so
on,
and
I
think
the
the
rollout
of
the
rapid
test
is
coming
our
way,
but
it
is
still
being
dealt
with
on
a
national
basis
and
therefore,
we've
not
had
a
great
role
out
of
that,
except
perhaps
to
the
universities.
B
That's
been
the
position
in
dorset,
so
far,
you'll
be
aware:
there's
been
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
rapid
tests
being
used
in
areas
which
are
currently
in
tier
three.
The
the
point
that
I
would
also
like
to
raise
about
people
really
to
give
some
thought
to
people's
expectations
about
visiting
care
homes
over
christmas,
which
is
something
I
know
we
really
really
want
to
get
moving-
is
to
contact
the
care
home
directly
and
that's
probably
your
your
best
way
to
find
out
what
their
particular
rules
are
and
what
it
is.
B
They
can
offer
you
in
terms
of
visiting
your
loved
ones,
and
I
suppose
we
all
as
well
to
mention
that
there
is
the
vaccination
program
has
gone,
live
across
dorset
and
we
know
that
there
are
some
members
of
our
community
who
are
being
invited
through
to
having
their
vaccination
members.
My
family
are
having
it
today,
but
it
will
come
through
your
primary
care
network
unless
you're
a
key
worker
and
perhaps
it
will
come
through
your
workplace.
B
So
this
is
being
rolled
out
by
nhs
england.
The
role
of
the
council
is
really
just
to
make
that
as
easy
as
we
possibly
can.
When
we're
asked
to
provide
volunteers,
for
example,
so
it
is
being
led
by
the
nhs.
But
we
are
aware
which
I
think
we
weren't
a
few
days
ago
of
people
actually
getting
the
injections,
and
you
know
those
coming
through
and
we
look
forward
to
those
being
rolled
out
even
further.
A
Yes,
thank
you
nicola
just
responding
to
to
spencer
fordham
about
the
the
stream
two
discretionary
scheme
really
pleased
to
hear
that
you're
happy
with
that
and
yes,
the
language
school
sector
is
on
that
discretionary
scheme.
We've
identified
that
as
one
of
the
key
areas
that
that
really
needs
our
support
at
this
time
because
we're,
I
think,
people
often
forget
about
the
the
language
school
sex
sector
and
how
much
of
an
impact
that
has
in
this
area-
and
it's
been
something
that
has
been
one
of
our
real
selling
points
for
some
time.
A
Of
course,
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
risk
is
gone
so
until
we
can,
until
that
vaccination
program
is,
is
meaningfully
out
there
and
particularly
as
we
continue
through
this
winter
period.
It
really
really
is
really
important
that
we
continue
to
follow
all
the
rules,
because
the
last
thing
we
want
when
we're
at
this
final
hurdle
is
to
start
going
backwards,
and
we
heard
earlier
on
in
the
facebook
live
session
that
the
rates
have
been
coming
down.
A
This
area
that
has
been
down
to
the
the
hard
work,
the
resilience
and
and
frankly,
the
the
the
discipline
of
people
in
there
following
the
rules,
the
vaccination
program
is
now
getting
out
and
it's
getting
out
live,
but
it
is
going
to
take
some
time.
Having
said
that,
it
is
great
that
we
are
one
of
the
areas
that
is
launching
my
own.
A
My
wife's
actually
a
gp
and
her
surgery
is
launching
it
today,
and
there
are
a
number
of
different
gp
surgeries
that
are
out
there,
that
are
that
are
already
getting
those
jabs
into
people's
arms
and,
as
nicolas
said,
they
will
contact
you,
so
don't
ring
them.
They've
got
a
list
of
of
the
starting
with
the
most
vulnerable
first
and
age
brackets
and
things,
and
of
course
they
can
only
vaccinate
with
the
number
of
actual
vaccinations
that
they
have,
so
they
will
be
contacting
you
as
and
when
that
works
through
the
system.
B
And
on
that
point,
steve
tallamy's
asked
a
question
about
the
code
importance
and
I
think
they
have
been
successful
in
that
they've
provided
a
visible
presence.
They
are
there
and
they
may
see
them
when
you're
out
on
your
high
streets
or
in
the
town
centres.
Certainly
they
we
first
established
them
right
at
the
beginning
or
right
prior
to
the
previous
lockdown
at
the
very
beginning
of
november,
when
we
were
concerned
perhaps
about
the
night
time
economy,
particularly
around
halloween
and
coming
up
for
bonfire
night.
So
that's
where
they
were
first
deployed.
B
You
know
to
remind
people
about
what
the
rules
were
and
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
people
weren't
gathering
in
large
numbers.
So
they
are,
we
had
seven
originally
and
then
by
the
beginning
of
this
month,
we'd
increase
that
to
13,
so
virtually
doubling
the
the
capacity
and
they're
out
and
about,
and
they
will
be
there
until
the
beginning
of
the
new
year,
so
another
busy
night
for
them,
I'm
sure,
will
be
new
year's
eve,
but
there
are
many
shopping
days
remaining
until
christmas.
B
Of
course,
we
want
to
be
out
doing
those
things
that
we
can
save
years.
You
know,
as
I
think
phil's
alluded
to
a
number
of
times
our
businesses
need
that
support.
It's
not
just
the
businesses,
it's
the
livelihoods
of
our
friends
and
neighbours
who
depend
upon
those
businesses
who
need
the
support
and
the
kobe
marshals
are
there
to
to
make
sure
that
the
rules
are
observed
and
that
people
feel
safe
and
confident
when
they're
out
yeah.
A
And
on
that
point
about
our
businesses,
I
I
sound
like
a
bit
of
a
broken
record
of
this,
but
across
the
the
born
of
christchurch
and
pool
area
we
don't
just
have
bournemouth
high
street
pool
high
street
and
and
christchurch
we've
got
17
different
high
streets
of
all
different
flavors.
That
really
need
our
support.
At
the
moment.
A
That's
in
tier
3
is
that
a
number
of
our
hospitality
and
retail
and
things
things
that
have
to
close
in
some
of
the
other
tiers
are
still
open
and
they
put
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
into
being
coveted,
safe,
kirby's
secure.
As
nicholas
pointed
out,
we've
got
our
covered
marshals
out
there
to
make
sure
that
that
things
are
as
safe
as
possible.
A
So
actually
it
is
possible
to
get
out
there
at
the
moment
and
do
your
christmas
shopping
support
our
local
high
streets,
whether
it's
the
big
ones
or
the
many
small
ones,
because
they're
all
open
and
they
need
our
business
to
get
through
this
christmas
period.
Also,
we
don't
want
to
give
all
of
our
money
to
the
big
internet
giants.
Do
we
you
know,
we've
got
some
fantastic
independents
out
there
offering
all
sorts
of
things.
So,
let's
get
out
there
and
support.
A
B
And
I
think
you
know
we're
focusing
on
what
we
can
do
within
the
within,
whichever
tier
we're
in
and
there's
been
discussion
in
the
in
the
feed
about.
Should
we
be
in
tier
one
should
be
in
tier
three,
whereas
you
know,
I
think
the
likelihood
is,
as
we've
often
found
ourselves,
that
we're
somewhere
in
the
middle,
but
whichever
tier
it
is.
B
I
have
no
doubt,
but
you
know
on
that
point
I
think
you
know
it
is
worth
saying
and
if
the
if
the
director
of
public
health
were
here,
I'm
sure
he
would
be
saying
the
same
thing
wouldn't
normally
speak
for
anybody
else.
It's
there
are
rules
that
there
are
some
relaxations
over
christmas
which,
for
some
people
will
be
absolutely
crucial.
You
know
if
you
haven't,
if
you
feel
that
it's
really
important
to
your
welfare
well-being
of
your
family,
then
those
rules
have
been
relaxed
within
reason
for
that
purpose.
A
So
for
those
of
us
joining
us
welcome
I'm
councillor
phil
broadhead,
the
deputy
leader
of
council.
This
is
councillor
nicola
greene
joining
me
who's.
Our
cabinet
member
for
cobid
resilience
we're
here
for
our
regular
half-hour
session
to
answer
your
questions.
Give
you
an
update
on
the
state
of
play,
particularly
regarding
the
covid
situation.
So
if
you
are
just
joining
us,
you're
very
welcome.
We
apologize
to
from
all
the
comments
about
my
my
jumper.
A
A
The
announcement
will
be
coming
now
tomorrow,
so
at
present
we're
still
in
tier
two,
as
we
heard
earlier
on,
we've
seen
quite
a
positive
decrease
in
the
case
levels
and
also
the
number
of
people
with
covered
in
hospitals
on
on
a
week
by
week
basis,
and
that
has
continued
over
the
past
week.
So
we'll
we
will
continue
to
lobby
if
all
the
powers
that
be
think
it's
safe
for
us
to
go
into
tier
one.
A
But
as
things
stand,
we
are
still
in
tier
two
and
I
don't
think
we're
necessarily
thinking
that's
going
to
change
immediately.
There's
a
question:
that's
come
through
from
sarah
churchill
around
a
a
bit
of
a
an
unusual
question,
and
not
many
people
will
know
about
this,
but
it's
about
selective
licensing
and
why
selective
licensing?
What
was
on
the
agenda?
A
Well,
sarah.
What
I
will
say
is
that,
as
you
probably
know,
we've
had
a
change
of
administration,
so
whether
the
new
administration
that
has
come
in
over
the
last
couple
of
months,
the
selective
licensing,
was
something
that
was
pursued
by
the
previous
administration.
We've
now
got
some
decisions
about
whether
to
take
that
through
or
not.
A
I
think,
I'm
pretty
safe
to
say
at
this
time
that
a
number
of
us
are
very
dubious
about
selective
licensing
and
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
a
priority
for
this
new
administration
and
carry
forward
for
those
that
don't
know
what
selective
licensing
is.
That
is
essentially
forcing
a
rented
properties
in
certain
areas
to
have
to
register
for
a
scheme
which
costs
landlords
a
certain
amount
of
money,
and,
of
course,
whilst
it
any
licensing
process,
has
its
benefits
of
being
able
to
keep
track
a
little
bit
more
of
things
and
standards.
A
What
it
does
tend
to
do
is
actually
put
the
financial
burden.
It
just
transfers
straight
from
the
landlords
onto
the
tenants,
and
there
is
a
real
danger
with
things
like
selective
licensing
that
they
end
up
punishing
the
poorest.
I
think
we've
got
much
more
creative
and
clever
ways
of
ensuring
that
standards
are
raised
in
the
private
private
erected,
sec
private,
rented
sector
we've
got
a
fantastic
team
at
the
council.
A
A
B
And
they
can
come
into
your
phone,
they
can
come
in
by
email
or
you
can
have
the
paper
vouchers
so
three
days
before
the
end
of
term.
What
I'd
like
to
remind
you
is:
if
there
is
anybody
who
hasn't
gained
their
eligibility
and
we've
had
fantastic
take-up,
I
have
to
say,
but
there
will
still
be
some
people
who
might
not
have
thought
about
it.
So
you've
got
those
few
days
left
to
do
it
through
the
school
and
they
are
so
efficient.
B
A
Thank
you
nicola.
There
was
a
question
a
bit
earlier
and
apologies.
I
I
flipped,
through
from
cheryl
or
cheryl,
about
the
application
process
for
discretionary
grants
for
businesses
that
have
do
not
have
business
rates
but
have
been
severely
impacted,
impacted
by
the
the
kovid
pandemic.
Yes,
cheryl
that
that
those
details
are
on
online
and
that
that
that
grant
has
been
now
active
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
so
that
is
under
the
additional
restrictions
grant.
What
we're
referring
to
is
the
args
and
that's
part
of
stream,
one
so
stream.
A
One
is
about
those
for
those
businesses
that
don't
pay
business
rates
that
have
either
had
to
close
as
a
result
of
lockdowns
or
have
been
severely
impacted
and
the
criteria
and
how
to
apply.
You
can
find
that
on
the
council
website.
I
think
it
might
even
be
bcp
council
dot,
gov
dot,
uk
arg,
but
don't
quote
me
on
that.
If
necessary,
google,
it
or
one
of
the
I
said,
it's
a
forward,
slash
arg
business,
and
then
you
can
find
out
more
information
about
that.
A
That's
for
those
that
don't
pay
business
rates
and,
as
I
said
earlier
on,
the
facebook
live
this
friday
this
week
we're
intending
to
launch
the
phase
two
of
that
discretionary
scheme
that
will
give
meaningful
amounts
of
money
to
those
businesses
and
those
sectors
that
have
been
really
really
badly
hit
by
covid
as
well.
We've
been
listening
to
a
number
of
them.
A
We've
been
hearing
that
we're
at
an
almost
existential
crisis
with
some
of
these
businesses-
and
you
know,
as
we
talked
about
earlier
on
with
the
vaccines
and
some
of
that
positivity
on
the
horizon.
If
we
can
try
and
just
get
through
this
winter
period,
support
our
local
business
where
possible.
I've
seen
a
number
of
comments
about
about
me
saying,
spend
loads
of
money.
A
It
was
slightly
tongue-in-cheek,
not
everybody
can,
but
we
can
all
help
in
our
own
way
to
help
support
those
people,
whether
that's
through
volunteering,
whether
that's
through
shopping
locally
or
whether
that,
as
a
council,
is
directly
supporting
those
businesses
that
really
need
our
help.
We're
all
in
this
together
and
we've
all
got
to
pull
through
it
together.
B
And
again,
just
one
more
plug
until
the
end
of
the
week.
Our
family
helps
the
children's
centers,
as
many
of
us
used
to
know
them
will
be
collecting
if
you
wish
to
donate
any
presents
for
children
from
newborns
up
to
older
teenagers,
and
they
will
make
sure
that
they
they
get
distributed
to
people
who
need
them,
and
I
have
to
say
that
has
been
the
most.
It's
truly
magnificent.
B
A
So,
for
those
that
are
just
joining
us,
we've
still
got
another
five
minutes,
we're
here
to
answer
as
many
questions
as
as
possible
on
anything
that
the
council
does,
but
in
particular
regarding
the
the
covid
situation.
If
you
haven't
gathered,
we
we
were.
The
government
was
intending
to
announce
any
changes
to
the
tier
restrictions.
Today
that
looks
like
that
announcement
is
now
going
to
be
tomorrow.
We're
in
probably
a
a
you
know,
a
slightly
optimistic
position
here
in
terms
of
the
rates
they
were
85
per
100
000.
A
Last
week,
they've
now
fallen
to
63
per
100
000..
That
is
one
of
the
lowest
in
the
country
so
well
done
to
everybody.
That's
continued
to
follow
the
rules
and
drive
those
rates
down
and
again
the
hospital
admissions
and
patients
in
hospital
has
gone
down
from
127
to
88.,
and
that
does
mean
that
we're
in
a
you
know
a
spot
where
that
does
continue
to
fall.
A
There
has
been
a
slight
level
off
in
that
falling,
so
we
all
just
need
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
do
anything
to
put
that
continued
fall
of
risk,
not
just
because
it's
all
of
our
health
concern,
but
also
as
the
relaxations
come
in
with
christmas.
I'd
love
to
be
in
a
position,
wouldn't
we
all
and
that
those
rates
continue
to
fall.
We
can
move
down
into
that
tier
one.
We
can
open
up
a
little
bit
more,
which
will
a
give
us
all
the
freedom.
A
I'm
sure
we
all
I'm
sure
we
all
want,
but
also
help
our
business
community
as
much
as
possible,
so
keep
following
the
rules.
We've
got
christmas
around
the
corner,
as
we've
all
heard,
and
the
government
has
announced
today
there's
no
change
to
the
formal,
the
relaxation
of
what
other
formal
rules
around
christmas.
However,
there's
a
continued
push,
if
you
don't
have
to
and
you
and
you,
particularly
if
you're,
one
of
those
that
are
at
risk
just
think
sensibly.
You
know
we're
all
in
this
together
and
we
all
take
some
personal
responsibility
for
that.
A
B
And
as
we
know,
I
don't
like
to
dismiss
bill's
sunny
optimism,
because
I
do
share
it
in
a
lot
of
cases,
but
we
do
know
that
for
many
people,
january
and
february
are
the
hardest
months.
Christmas
is
something
that
you
know
for
many
people,
particularly
you
know
anyone
with
children.
You
really
really
focus
on
it's
great
festive
time
of
year.
B
It's
brilliant
to
be
with
our
families,
but
don't
forget
that
there's
generally
to
come
and
there
are
dark
days,
and
there
are
also
plenty
of
grants
which
are
available
for
winter
warmth,
and
you
know
people
who
might
be
suffering
perhaps
get
through
christmas,
but
then
the
financial
difficulties
might
really
start
to
hit.
So
the
let's
talk,
money
program,
which
is
run
by
systems
advice
across
bcp,
has
been
running
for
quite
some
time,
it's
on
their
main
switchboard
number
and
they
are
also
administering
some
grants.
B
So
should
you-
or
you
know
somebody
who's
struggling
with
their
utility
bills,
particularly
water
heating,
access
to
getting
you
boiler
service.
That
kind
of
things
and
people
are
really
really
struggling
with
them.
Please
please
go
to
systems
advice
because
they
they're
experienced
people.
They
they're
used
to
these
things
for
many
many
people.
This
is
the
first
time
they
experienced
it,
but
you
will
be
talking
to
people
the
call
handlers
who
know
what
it
is
that
they
can
do
to
help.
B
A
It's
a
complicated
scenario
we're
trying
to
still
do
as
many
things
as
as
possible
continue
with
with
business
as
usual,
where
possible.
But
of
course
we
are
in
a
in
a
very,
very
different
different
world.
We've
spoken
earlier
on
about
the
vaccination
program
and
how
positive
it
is
that
the
vaccination
program
has
now
started
that
we
need
to
obviously
manage
expectations
that
we're
not
all
going
to
get
jabs
in
our
arm
overnight.
There's
a
process,
that's
going
through
this
as
councillor
green
had
mentioned
earlier
on.
A
This
has
been
led
by
the
nhs,
the
the
councillor
here
in
a
support
role,
to
help
with
the
to
facilitate,
where
possible
and
of
course,
a
lot
of
that
is
through
the
local
gp
surgeries
as
well.
So
I
know
that
a
number
of
our
gp
surgeries
across
the
bournemouth,
christchurch
and
paul
area
are
today
commencing
their
vaccination
programs
they're
getting
the
amounts
through
on
a
day-by-day
basis,
so
they're
having
to
make
those
calls
about
how
many
they
can
accommodate
as
and
when
the
vaccinations
come
in.
A
But
I
think
the
it's
obviously
positive
news,
but
the
the
main
message
is:
don't
contact
them.
They
will
contact
you
they're
working
very
hard
to
prioritize
those
people
that
are
at
the
most
in
need,
and-
and
if
you
are
in
that
category,
you
will
be
hopefully
top
of
that
list
and
they'll
be
in
contact
as
soon
as
they're.
A
Right
any
we've
got
we've.
We've
still
got
a
probably
one
more
minute
left
for
any
any
final
questions
that
are
coming
through.
So
we've
had
a
bit
of
an
update
again.
There's
a
question
about
the
the
the
scooters
that
will
be
coming
in
will
be
one
of
the
areas
that's
being
chosen
for
the
trial
for
e-scooters
and
to
put
some
people's
minds
at
rest.
Of
course,
that
is
not
just
a
free-for-all
that
is
through
their
partners.
Beryl,
who
have
had
the
barrel
bike
scheme.
You'll
have
to
have
a
driver's
license.
A
In
these
times
to
continue
with
that
sustainable
travel,
particularly
as
our
roads
get
more
and
more
congested,
it's
good!
It's
not
the
answer
for
everybody,
but
we'll
continue
to
push
that
and
of
course,
I
suppose,
if
there's
one
other
positive
of
the
the
pandemic,
it's
made
us
all
alive
to
the
fact
that
there
are
other
are
other
ways
to
get
around,
particularly
in
the
congested
area
that
we
have
come
through
to
so
it
is,
it
is
1.
30.
we've
had
half
an
hour
of
questions.
A
We
do
have
a
team
that
will
continue
to
try
and
answer
any
questions
that
we
have
missed
out
because
they
do
zip
on
the
side
of
the
screen.
It's
not
as
easy
as
it
looks,
but
hopefully
that's
giving
you
a
bit
of
an
insight
into
what
we're
doing
answered
as
many
questions
as
possible.
I'd
like
to
finish
by
wishing
you
all
a
very
merry
christmas,
a
very
positive
2021
stay
safe,
ho
ho
ho
and
and
have
an
enjoyable
christmas.
