A
A
A
Welcome
to
the
first
of
the
new
leader,
q,
a
live
on
various
streams.
Forgive
me.
This
is
my
first
one,
since
we
did
this
in
covid,
when
I
was
literally
in
my
living
room,
doing
it
on
my
laptop
through
Facebook.
So
it's
all
got
a
bit
more
sophisticated
if
I'm
looking
in
the
wrong
direction,
because
my
notes
aren't
where
they
would
normally
be
I'm
sat
in
the
council
offices
today,
but
they
will
be
done
from
wherever
I
am,
whether
that
be
home
or
out
and
about
in
future.
A
The
formats
for
those
of
you
that
haven't
been
seeing
them
recently
is
that
we
do
have
some
questions.
Who've
come
in
in
advance
and
we
will
be
taking
questions
throughout
I'd,
be
doing
my
best
to
keep
up
with
everything
that
you're
asking
and
those
of
you
that
haven't
come
across
me
before
I
do
make
it
do
my
very
best
to
make
sure
that
we're
honest
and
open
with
you.
That
is
the
mark
of
this
new
three
towns,
Alliance
Administration.
So
before
we
get
into
the
questions,
just
very
brief,
update
on
where
we
are.
A
Although
the
elections
took
place
at
the
beginning
of
May,
the
leadership
election
didn't
happen
until
the
23rd
of
May.
So
that's
just
two
weeks
ago,
so
myself
and
the
cabinet
have
only
had
two
weeks
in
the
job
and
during
that
time
we've
been
busy
trying
to
meet
with
the
officers
to
understand
the
lay
of
the
land
lots
of
the
information
that
we're
getting
we're
hearing
for
the
first
time,
because
the
way
the
council
operates
is
that
the
registration
has
access
to
a
lot
of
information.
A
That
is
background,
so
we
are
catching
up
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
we
will
be
going
out
with
lots
of
announcements
about
our
priorities
over
the
coming
weeks.
So
to
get
us
started,
we
did
ask
people
to
submit
some
questions
and
we
do
have
a
series
of
questions.
The
first
question,
I
think
we
have
is
from
John,
Smith
and
John
was
asking
whether
Council
intends
to
make
our
car
Parks
pay
by
app.
Only
no
it's
a
simple
answer.
A
We
do
know
that
Bournemouth
Council,
one
of
the
predecessors
did
make
a
decision
prior
to
vcp
being
formed
to
take
away
various
means
of
payment
from
some
of
their
car
Parks
retrofitting
those
car
Parks,
you
know,
would
be
hugely
expensive,
but
we
do
intend
to
keep
the
options
of
using
your
card
and
the
the
pay
by
phone
option
is
still
there.
So
if
you
don't
have
an
app
and
lots
of
people,
don't
if
you're
anything
like
me,
I've
generally
run
out
of
data.
So
that's
my
biggest
issue.
A
A
Sometimes
you
have
issues
in
getting
the
land
holding
sorted
out,
so
the
events
that
have
been
canceled
have
been
canceled
for
different
reasons,
some
of
which
have
involved
not
being
able
to
meet
the
requirements
that
are
put
in
place
either
by
the
council
or
the
landowner,
and
some
simply
because
they're
just
not
viable
or
workable.
But
we
are
really
excited
that
there
are
new
events
coming
forward,
not
just
on
the
key
but
beta
Paul,
Park
and
other
places,
and
we're
very,
very
keen
that
communities
get
involved
with
organizing
events
as
we
go
forward.
A
So
that
is
a
huge
priority
and
a
big
plug
if
you're
around
in
Broadstone
Sunday,
the
2nd
of
July
Broadstone
fun
day.
I
highly
recommend
it
Aaron
on
Twitter,
who
is
a
regular
communicator
with
me
on
Twitter,
can
I
combine
that
fines
will
be
given
to
a
dropping
letter.
So
we
you
will
be
aware
if
you've
been
watching
things,
that
the
council
has
a
contractor
called
wise
that
it's
been
using
for
some
time
for
fly
tipping.
A
They
now
have
the
contract
for
litter
and
there
are
fines
being
given
a
150
pound
fine
on
on
the
spot,
fine,
which
is
reduced
as
with
other
fines.
If
it's
paid
very
quickly,
there's
been
a
bit
of
stress
about
where
those
fines
are
being
given,
and
there
have
been
some
criticisms
about
the
company
giving
fines
on
private
land.
That's
all
been
clarified
now,
but
they
are
acting
as
agents
of
the
council.
So
the
simple
answer
is:
don't
drop
litter,
you
know.
A
Don't
have
the
details
on
how
many
fines
have
been
given
so
far,
but
that
will
go
through
a
process
of
review,
so
I'm
sure
that
when
the
scrutiny
Department
asks
to
see
whether
that's
been
a
successful
project,
we
will
be
able
to
produce
the
information
about
how
many
fines
have
been
given
and
fundamentally
whether
having
the
fines
in
place
has
led
to
less
people
dropping
litter.
Because
that's
the
goal
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
not
about
making
money.
A
It's
about
reducing
the
amount
of
litter
and
respecting
the
place
more
there's
loads
of
questions
coming
in,
but
I'm
going
to
get
through
the
pre-selected
ones,
just
so
that
we
we
don't
miss
them
because
they
won't
be
coming
up
on
my
screen.
Nigel
was
asking
a
question
about
buses,
so
I
think
Nigel's
concerned
about
not
being
as
many
night
buses
as
they
used
to
be
I've.
A
Recently,
we
were
able
to
announce
a
new
bus
route
extension
for
the
number
18,
which
is
now
going
to
be
running
on
a
Sunday
and
and
half
hourly,
rather
than
hourly.
The
reason
that
that
bus
was
able
to
be
introduced
is
because
we've
got
external
fund
or
the
bus
company
got
external
funding
to
introduce
additional
routes.
A
A
But,
as
you
will
hear,
consistently
the
financial
situation,
the
council's
been
left
in
is
pretty
difficult
and
anything
we
decide
we're
going
to
start
spending
mentally
mean
having
to
stop
doing
something
else.
So
there
needs
to
be
a
good,
viable
reason
for
the
night
buses
to
run
and
if
they're
not
running,
is
probably
because
they're
not
currently
viable.
But
that
is
something
that
you
know:
we'd
love
to
see
back
mobas.
If
you're
listening,
you
know,
if
you
could
trial
something
that
would
be
fantastic.
A
I
think
what
Steve's
probably
saying
is
that
in
the
past,
some
of
the
questions
have
been
asked
with
a
decision
made
about
what
the
answer
is
that
we
want.
My
response
to
that
is.
We
are
fundamentally
overhauling
the
way
that
we
do
our
surveys.
We
need
to
ask
various
bits
of
information.
It's
been
some
criticism
about.
Why
so
many
personal
information
we
need
all
that
information,
but
we
need
to
be
asking
open
questions
that
allow
people
to
tell
us
what
they
really
think.
A
Sometimes
we
can't
give
a
free
option,
for
you
know
every
auction
isn't
on
the
table
and
I.
Think
where
that's
the
case.
We
need
to
be
more
clear
about
that.
If
it
is
an
option
between
a
or
b,
we
need
to
make
it
clear
that
it's
a
or
b
I
can
tell
you
that
we
are
going
to
be
announcing
very
soon
a
new
consultation
on
Bournemouth
Town
Center.
We're
really
aware
it's
elephant
in
the
room.
Everybody
is
telling
us
something
needs
to
change
my
view
is
we
aren't
listening
enough
to
people?
A
We
want
to
ask
people
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
Bournemouth
town
center
and
that
open
consultation
will
happen
very
very
soon.
The
other
big
consultation
that's
coming
up
will
be
the
corporate
strategy
refresh.
If
you
go
back
to
2019,
we
had
a
a
really
good
piece
of
consultation
where
we
went
out
to
communities
and
we
asked
people
what
they
thought
and
and
that's
the
style
of
consultation
we'll
be
doing
as
often
as
we
can
making
sure
that
the
consultations
get
through
all
of
those
groups
that
we
don't
normally
reach.
A
So
how
do
we
reach
young
people
and
children?
How
do
we
reach
students?
How
do
we
reach
groups
that
perhaps
don't
have
English
as
a
first
language
or
don't
tend
to
engage
because
they
don't
feel
they're
going
to
be
listened
to
so
yeah?
Absolutely
really.
Proper
consultation
is
a
key
and
we
want
scrutiny.
A
Advanced
questions
from
Peter
Peter
was
asking
about
reform
of
future
places,
so
future
places
for
those
who
don't
know
is
the
council's
urban
regeneration
company
that
was
set
up
a
couple
of
years
ago.
Now,
let's
be
honest,
we
have
to.
We
have
to
do
lots
and
lots
of
regeneration
of
sites
that
are
going
to
take
a
lot
longer
than
four
years
to
do
and
taking
out
of
the
political
cycle
of
every
election
is
every
four
years
will.
Hopefully,
stop
people
from
stop
start
stop
start.
A
A
So
we
will
be
waiting
to
see
the
results
of
his
review,
which
we're
hoping
to
have
in
the
next
few
weeks.
We've
also
asked
him
to
to
look
at
whether
it
needs
a
Rebrand.
It's
not
about
spending
more
money,
it's
about
focusing
its
attention
on
delivery
and
bringing
some
of
the
the
services
that
it's
been
offering
back
into
the
council.
So
the
council
is,
is
the
council's
company
and
not
going
off
and
doing
its
own
thing.
A
I
saw
go
past
and
it
was
relating
to
the
awful
accident.
Last
week,
Mark
I'm,
not
surprised.
You
have
worried
customers
wanting
to
make
it
safe
to
go
in
the
water,
we're
all
absolutely
devastated
for,
for
you
know,
the
young
people
that
died
last
week
and
their
families,
and
also
the
people
who
were
hurt
I
had
a
gentleman
contact
me
who
said
he
was
on
the
beach
he
witnessed
it
he's
feeling
traumatized
through
what
he
witnessed.
A
The
question
about
is
it
safe
to
go
in
the
water
is
a
hazard.
We
know
that,
and
you
know
there
is
always
a
risk
when
we
get
in
the
water,
particularly
if
it's
water,
that
we
don't
know,
particularly
if
it's
that
you
know
something
we're
not
used
to.
So
the
the
advice
remains
that
swim
and
go
in
the
water
are
lifeguarded
beaches
go
between
the
flags,
that's
where
the
rnli
have
deemed
that
it's
safest
to
do
so.
A
Make
sure
that
if
you're
going
in
the
water,
somebody
on
the
other
short
notes,
Where,
You,
Are
usual
things,
don't
drink
alcohol
and
go
in
the
water.
You
know
act
responsibly.
If
you
see
someone
in
distress,
make
sure
that
you
that
you
tell
somebody
we
don't
know
the
circumstances
of
the
accident
at
the
moment,
but
there
was
an
announcement
through
the
coroners
yesterday
about
the
possibility
of
a
Riptide.
A
A
But
that
sounds
like
a
pretty
good
advice
to
me
and
I
think
if
in
doubt
go
and
speak
to
the
lifeguards
and
ask
the
lifeguards
if,
if
they
consider
that
it's
safe,
they
don't
consider
it
safe,
the
red
flags
will
be
flying
and
encourage
your
your
customers.
Mark
to
you,
know,
don't
go
in
the
water
if
the
red
flags
are
flying
or
if
there's
no
lifeguards
and
people
don't
feel
confident,
I
think
that's
probably
as
much
as
we
can
say
until
we
get
the
outcome
of
the
investigation.
A
So
I'm
going
to
go
to
Jeff
Beck
1243
parking
poundbury
is
free.
Yes,
there
are
reasons.
I
don't
want
to
bring
the
question
up.
Thank
you
very
much
question
really
about
parking
and
independent
retailers.
So
I
think
that
the
idea
that
parking
is
a
throttle
on
businesses
is
is
is
only
part
of
the
question.
A
In
order
for
people
to
come
to
a
town,
there
needs
to
be
a
good
reason
to
come
to
a
town
and
I've
already
explained
that
we're
opening
up
a
consultation
on
Bournemouth
Town
Center,
because
I
will
gladly
pay
decent
money
to
park
somewhere.
If
I'm
going
to
have
a
great
experience,
you
know
there
are
towns
and
cities
around
the
country
that
have
parking
charges
that
are
more
than
Bournemouth
and
people
pay
it
because
they
know
that
they're
going
to
have
a
great
time.
A
I
think
where
they
get
frustrated
is
where
the
parking
services
are
up
to
scratch
and
they
don't
feel
safe
or
where
they
pay
the
parking,
and
there
then
isn't
enough
there
for
them
to
enjoy
so
I.
Think
it's
a
little
bit
simple
to
say
you
know
it's
a
throttle
on
business.
Dorchester
is
not
Bournemouth,
Dorchester
is
a
is
a
reasonably
small
town
and
daughter
doesn't
have
much
of
a
nighttime
economy.
A
Parking
is
an
income
for
the
council.
If
we
remove
our
parking
income,
there
will
be
a
massive
hole
that
needs
to
to
fund
related
matters,
and
you
know
fundamentally,
the
council
has
to
make
ends
meet,
so
we
need
to
drive
more
independent
retailers.
We
need
to
drive
things
that
are
other
than
retail
retail
is
is,
is
a
changing
Place
and
at
the
moment
our
focus
is
on
trying
to
make
Bournemouth
pool
and
Christchurch
destinations
for
people,
rather
than
just
being
the
the
retail
places
that
they've
been
in
the
past.
A
So
let's
go
so
Anthony
was
the
first
question
out.
1232
was
asking:
what
are
the
plans
of
all
the
Town
Center
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
too
much
detail,
because
actually
we
want
to
hear
from
you
so
watch
out
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
For
this
consultation
it
will
be
a
very,
very
light
touch
question
to
start
with,
because
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
to
tell
you
what
we're
going
to
do
for
Bournemouth.
What
we
want
to
do
is
hear
your
ideas,
your
thoughts.
A
We
will
then
work
with
our
partners,
we'll
be
working
with
the
bids
with
the
university
with
the
businesses,
with
the
landlords
with
the
tourist
agencies,
everybody
to
actually
say
what
is
it
we
need
to
do
for
the
future,
so
really
be
helpful.
If
we
didn't
describe
things
publicly
as
being
Grim,
I
know,
I've
probably
been
guilty
of
it
as
well
as
everybody
else,
but
we
need
to
try
and
start
talking
up
our
towns
and
go
actually.
You
know
on
a
sunny
day.
This
place
is
amazing.
There
are
some
brilliant
businesses
here.
A
We
need
more
of
them,
but
we're
not
likely
to
get
the
investment
if
we
keep
talking
it
down.
As
as
grim
a
Joanne
Keeling
1233
has
been
asking
about
a
development,
that's
in
Talbot
Heath.
You
know
what
this
is
a
real
contentious
issue
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
about
it.
This
is
a
site
owned
by
The,
Talbot,
Village
trust
next
to
the
university
part
of
the
site
is
is
currently
an
urban
farm.
Part
of
it
is,
is
space.
That's
that's
sort
of
sitting
a
little
bit
vacant.
A
It
is
a
long
side,
Talbot
Heath,
which
is
a
site
of
special
scientific
interest,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
sites
are
protected.
The
difficulty
we've
got
is
that
it's
not
land
owned
by
BCB,
Council
and
the
land
was
put
into.
It
is
development
Land
by
borough
of
Paul,
which
is,
although
people
think
of
it
as
being
bought
with
its
borough
of
Paul
area
from
before
lgr,
under
that
local
plan
and
just
for
clarity,
because
we
haven't
been
in
our
post
very
long
under
that
local
plan.
A
A
A
It
still
has
to
go
through
a
planning
committee,
so
it
has
to
fit
planning
policy.
But
if
the
council
was
to
turn
down
a
planning
application
on
that
site,
it
would
have
to
have
good
planning
grounds,
and
the
fact
that
it
was
put
into
the
local
plan
for
development
means
that
we
could
be
challenged
by
the
planning
inspector
if
they
say,
but
it's
planning
policy
now
lots
of
people
want
it
taken
out
it
I'm,
not
on
the
planning
committee,
so
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
being
conflicted
by
predetermination.
A
If
I
was
able
to
work
a
magic
wand
tomorrow,
I'd
take
it
out
because
I
voted
against
it
in
the
first
place
and
I'd
happily
do
that
again.
But
until
the
local
plan
is
enacted,
we
are
really
Limited
in
what
we
can
do
so
we're
very
conscious
of
the
traffic
issues.
The
nature
issues,
the
over
development
issues,
all
the
worries
that
people
have
got.
But
if
somebody
owns
a
piece
of
land
and
the
policy
says
because
the
policy
was
set
under
the
last
Council,
it
can
be
developed.
We've
got
to
have
very
strong
grounds.
A
Not
to
so
that's
the
current
situation.
We
do
hear
all
of
those
issues
we're
looking
at
all
the
options
that
are
available.
We
have
heard
people
saying
if
I
was
running
the
council
I
would
stop
it
now,
it's
not
as
simple
as
that.
It
never
is
so.
Please
be
assured.
We
are
looking
at
all
of
the
options,
but
we
also
have
to
be
fair
to
the
people
that
own
the
land.
A
If
you've
got
somebody
that
spent
a
lot
of
money
because
they've
followed
policy
and
said
the
policy
says
this
can
be
developed
and
then
we
turn
around
and
go
we
just
don't
like
it.
We
have
to
have
legal
grounds
to
do
that.
So
yeah
watch
this
space,
so
some
lovely
messages
there
about
being
back
in
in
control,
which
is
nice
Michael
at
12,
34
and
I'm.
Really
sorry
we're
going
way
back
we're
not
going
to
cover
everything
but
I'd
try
my
hardest
as
asked
about
youth
centers.
A
Some
of
you
might
know,
I
run
a
youth
club
myself.
It
was
a
youth
club
that
was
closed
under
a
previous
Council.
We
reopened
it.
It's
run
entirely
by
volunteers,
I'm,
passionate
about
youth,
centers,
I'm,
passionate
about
youth
services
and
the
reason
I'm
passionate
about
them
is
because
we
have
young
people
that
are
making
mistakes
in
their
lives
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
to
get
to
them
before
they
get
involved
in
things
that
are
going
to
take
them
down
the
wrong
path.
Now
Youth
clubs
are
not
the
only
way
of
doing
it.
A
There's
loads
of
brilliant
work,
that's
being
done
in
communities
through
Sports
organizations
through
football
clubs.
You
know
through
Outreach,
but
there
is
a
youth
review
coming
up.
I
am
worried
that,
under
the
the
previous
plans,
with
the
cuts
that
are
expected
to
come
through,
we
could
be
looking
at
further
reduction
in
that
service,
but
we
will
be
working
our
hardest
to
try
and
make
sure
that
communities
have
got
services
for
young
people.
They
are
so
important.
I'll
give
you
a
quick
anecdote.
A
We
had
a
young
person
came
into
our
youth
club
a
few
months
ago,
who
haven't
told
anybody
at
all
that
they
were
thinking
of
taking
their
own
life.
Where
would
they
have
gone
if
they
had
another
youth
club?
You
know
so
it's
not
just
areas
of
deprivation,
it's
areas
where
kids
have
problems
wherever
they
are
and
I
think
we
owe
it
to
them
to
give
them
a
chance.
So
we'll
do
whatever
we
can,
but
you
know
we
also
have
to
be
mindful
that
this
this
massive
funding
cut
comes
along.
A
A
A
They
are
going
to
be
finished.
I
can't
give
you
the
date
they're
going
to
be
finished,
but
there's
lots
of
work
going
on
and
I'm
expecting
them
to
be
done
over
the
summer.
So
you
know
please
bear
with
us.
Roadworks
are
not
put
in
without
them
being
a
need
for
them.
I
just
want
to
take
it
a
little
bit
wider.
A
lot
of
people
complain
about
why
roadworks
happen
all
at
the
same
time,
some
of
the
road
Works
happened
that
are
scheduled
like
this
one.
You
know
it's
a
sort
of
12
18
week
cycle.
A
It
takes
time
to
actually
get
everything
in
place.
There's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
happens
under
the
roads
that
we
don't
see,
the
lots
of
things
that
we're
reliant
on
Supply
chains
and
people
being
available
to
do
the
next
step
of
the
of
the
work.
But
very
often
there
will
be
an
emergency
piece
of
road
works.
A
You
know
a
water
main
bursting
or
something
like
that,
and
that
can
cause
complete
chaos,
but
we
have
to
deal
with
it
and
if
the
road
is
already
dug
up
somewhere
else,
we
could
just
stop
and
move,
but
actually
that
isn't
going
to
make
things
any
better,
because
you
can't
pack
those
old
roadworks
away.
So
we
know
it's
from.
We
know
everybody
sort
of
sends
each
other
messages,
so
bloody
Council,
but
you
know
we're
working
as
fast
as
we
can
and
the
goal
is
to
get
people
moving
more
easily
through
these
difficult
Junctions.
A
There
were
76
counselors,
only
17
of
those
councilors
registered
to
do
the
training,
so
the
training
was
paused
because
people
weren't
engaging
with
it
and
we
were
really
upset
because
it
is
an
absolute
key
driver.
We
have
to
reach
Net
Zero
and
we
have
to
change
the
way
that
we
we
do
everything.
So
we
have
got
within
the
new
councilors
training
and
when
we
say
new
councilors,
that's
all
of
us,
not
just
the
ones
who
elected
for
the
first
time.
A
There
is
a
training
session
that
all
councilors
have
been
asked
to
attend
on
the
climate
emergency
and
the
council's
response.
All
counselors
have
access
to
be
able
to
read
all
of
the
documentation,
either
through
the
website
or
through
a
program
that
we
have
that
stores
all
of
our
all
of
our
documents
from
meetings.
A
A
Certainly
in
my
group,
I've
got
28
lived
in
counselors.
There
was
a
bit
of
a
battle
for
who
wanted
to
be
on
that
committee,
because
it
is
something
that
we're
absolutely
passionate
about.
So,
although
I
can't
tell
you
when
they'll
be
provided
with
a
document,
they've
all
got
access
to
it,
they've
all
been
asked
to
come
for
training.
A
So
let
me
see
what
else
have
we
got?
Peter
rusco
has
asked
some
questions
about
active
travel,
12
39.,
active
travel
is
almost
like.
You
know
Marmite,
isn't
it
some
people
love
it?
Some
people
hate
it.
Some
of
the
programs
that
were
put
in
place
during
our
first
Administration
had
been.
The
ball
had
started
to
be
rolled
by
previous
councils
cross
party.
Everybody
agrees
that
if
we're
going
to
deal
with
congestion,
air
pollution
and
the
climate
emergency,
we've
got
to
give
people
choices
to
travel
in
different
ways.
A
Some
of
the
initiatives
weren't
working,
and
so
it
was
quite
right
that
the
conservative
Council
reversed
them.
Some
of
them
appear
to
have
been
reversed
for
political
reasons,
and
that's
not
really
great.
We
are
going
to
be
looking
at
where
people
want
those
schemes
back
how
we
can
do
that
in
a
way.
That's
inclusive,
but
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
be
really
clear
about
is
that
people
need
to
be
comfortable
with
those
schemes,
so
they
will
have
proper
consultation.
A
If
they're
coming
back
we're
not
just
going
to
you
know
flip-flop
between
we
did
it,
they
reversed
it.
We
reversed
their
decision
that
wouldn't
be
helpful.
What
we
need
to
do
is
make
sure
that
it's
the
right
decisions,
but
active
travel
is
hugely
important.
The
council
just
secured
another
3.8
million
I
think
it
was
for
for
active
travel
schemes
and
we
will
actively
look
for
more
and
more
active,
Travelers,
Not
Just
cycling.
It's
walking
it's!
A
You
know
micro
Mobility,
it's
you
know
that
first
and
last
month
onto
your
bus
and
your
train,
so
those
things
are
really
important.
We
were
doing
everything
we
can.
I
am
running
late
to
have
another
meeting
to
get
to,
but
I
reckon
we've
got
time
for
one
more
question:
if
that's
okay
and
I'm
trying
to
look
at
something
which
we
haven't
really
covered.
A
A
So
wants
to
know
whether
we,
whether
people
can
have
the
security
guards
that
we
have
so
I,
think
there's
a
bit
of
a
there's.
Two
questions
here
is
I,
probably
would
challenge.
We
have
security
guards,
bus
passengers
don't
and
that
we
don't
have
security
guards,
because
we
need
security
guards.
I,
think
it's
more
about
making
sure
that
you
know
people
can't
run
a
mock
in
the
council
building,
that's
fair
enough!
A
You
know
we
need
to
make
the
place
safe.
So
personal
view
is
having
security
guards
around,
doesn't
necessarily
make
you
safe
and
I.
Think
it's
about
making
the
the
bus
station
and
the
square
feel
different.
I
had
a
great
meeting
with
police
and
crime
commissioner
last
Friday
and
talking
about
how
do
we
make
places
feel
safe
and
of
course
one
of
the
options
is
to
have
more
visible.
A
Policing
is
to
have
more
visible
csas
officers,
which
are
our
Council
security
people,
but
another
way
of
making
things
safe
is
to
make
them
more
livable.
So
you
can
make
places
you
can
build
places
to
make
them
safer,
but
having
more
people
around
and
having
better
lighting
and
having
more
action
and
having
people
living
in
places
rather
than
living
somewhere
else
traveling
in
and
then
traveling
through
can
actually
make
it
feel
a
lot
safer.
A
So
whilst
there
are
short-term
issues
with
making
sure
that
pool
bus
station,
Bournemouth
square
and
other
places
are
safe
and
secure,
the
fundamental
answer
is
not
to
stick
security
guards
everywhere.
It's
to
actually
put
people
living
working
playing
studying
within
the
town
centers
so
that
the
town
centers
have
got
eyes
and
ears
and
people
moving
through
it
in
a
way
that
is
not
allowing
it
to
become
a
place
that
gets
taken
over
by
people
who
perhaps
we
wouldn't
want
to
have
that.
A
You
know
there
is
work
to
be
done
on
some
of
the
individuals
that
we
see
sort
of
hanging
about
that.
Don't
seem
to
be
adding
much
value
and
that's
a
really
complicated
piece
of
work.
But
you
know
homeless,
rough
sleeping
is
down.
That
is
a
good
thing.
Antisocial
behavior
is
down,
but
there
is
still
a
long
way
to
go.
A
So
bear
with
us
I'm
going
to
say,
bear
with
us
a
few
times,
but
you
know
we
we
will
get
there
and
we
will
be
asking
you
what
you
think
the
answer
is,
but
I
would
just
stress
you
chucking
more
money
at
a
problem
doesn't
always
give
you
the
answers
you
want.
They
just
leave
you
with
a
bigger
debt
and
we've
been
left
with
a
big
debt
for
the
council.
We've
got
to
tighten
our
our
Apron
Strings.
A
We've
got
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
living
within
our
means,
and
that
might
mean
doing
things
a
bit
differently,
so
we
will
be
trying
things
that
are
ex.
You
know
changing
the
experience
rather
than
just
chucking,
more
cash
and
everything.
So
it's
gone
at
one
o'clock,
I've
loved
having
the
chance
to
come
back
and
talk
to
you
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
plenty
more
opportunities
to
do
so.
A
I'm,
really,
sorry
for
all
the
questions
we
haven't
got
back
to
I'd
love
to
say:
I'll
come
back
to
them
all
this
afternoon,
but
I'm
back
to
back
until
about
nine
o'clock
tonight.
So
it's
unrealistic
but
do
come
back
on
and
ask
the
question
again,
and
hopefully
some
of
the
questions
will
answer
themselves
as
we
go
through
our
consultations
and
show
you
what
we're
going
to
do
differently.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
