From YouTube: BCP Council Live - Weekly Q&A 17th June 2020

Description

BCP Council Leader Vikki Slade answers your questions. Tune in 12 noon every Wednesday on our Facebook page for the Live Q&A.

A

Good afternoon it's just on 12 o'clock, so it's the weekly q&a with me, counselor.

A

Vicki slade for bcp counsil. Obviously this is the first week since we've have.

A

Had the schools going back not and the shops opening right, I just don't notice.

A

I've got some people watching that's good. I know that I'm. I know that I'm.

A

Live and a couple of things just to start off with this is national.

A

Loneliness week, so just to be aware that the together we can program is still.

A

Working and people who who are needing a bit of personal support there is.

A

Facilities available through together, we can, through our friendship line, say.

A

Please don't be lonely on your own. There is the number still available for you to.

A

Call seven days a week which is 0300 1237052.

A

And we have people on hand to support. You still do your shopping, for you still.

A

Collect your prescriptions clearly and as people still remain shielded and.

A

People potentially have an illness coming forward and we're all there to.

A

Support you and and act as a community right, let's see what we've got so far. We.

A

Have no questions you're, obviously waiting me to talk.. When will weddings happen, awh hannah? This is so frustrating the government still have not made any.

A

Decisions on weddings to our knowledge- and we are planning for ceremony only.

A

Weddings for just the two people involved, plus they're witnesses, to.

A

Potentially start from the first of july, but we have no more information than you.

A

Do there certainly won't be any events as far as reception receptions or larger weddings? That certainly won't be.

A

Happening over the summer, but if you have a wedding, that's just you and the.

A

Person that you love and your witnesses there is still the possibility that they.

A

Will starting in july and as soon as we have any more information, we will let.

A

You know okay. bournemouth security constantly, not keeping left. Please can someone.

A

Train them? good point david. I will have a word. The idea is that going back to.

A

When we were at school, when keep left was the the way we all did, things was: let's try something simple: let's, if we all stay left on the.

A

Pavement everybody else stays left on the pavement. Then it's less chance of.

A

Having a conflict, this clearly applies to people who are walking cycling.

A

Running but I will speak to the fact that for some reason, the security staff.

A

Don't think it applies to them, but it does because the rule should apply to us.

A

All ok, whether the traffic lights going to be working on magna road sharon. I.

A

Wasn't aware of their traffic, like, oh, you mean the ones prepare the new.

A

Development, I'm not sure I will see if I can find out probably the best way to.

A

Deal with that sort of thing is to ask your local ward councillors. I have.

A

Noticed that councillor richard burton is logged on here I saw his one of the.

A

First people so richard, can I ask you if you can go back to sharon the the best.

A

Way to deal with these localized issues is to email, your ward councillor.

A

Everybody's email address can be found on the council website. We should also.

A

Have some sort of telephone contact I've had to take my home telephone details.

A

Off because if it's an abuse, I was getting last week that my children were.

A

Also suffering so please do remember when you're calling somebody's number.

A

Chances are, that is their home. They are working. You know remotely, please be.

A

Mindful of the fact that, if you're calling late at night or early in the morning that these people have got a life, so best thing to do, drop them an.

A

Email with your concern- and they will pick it up far better than try to deal.

A

With it through facebook or twitter, we can't really engage in a meaningful.

A

Conversation, it's the best thing to do. Email us on our official email addresses.

A

And we then have an audit trail of what we're doing some outlets aren't using.

A

Protective screens and gloves, is this correct, so nicky the the advice? That's.

A

Been given to all businesses is, they have to follow certain procedures. They.

A

Will all have had the development advice to them, though the advice will vary from.

A

Place to place, I think the truth is if you're not comfortable with the with the.

A

Measures that our business is taking, then you know you can challenge that with the business and if they're breaking the.

A

Legislation and trading standards can get involved. I don't think we should.

A

Assume that the the requirements are as high as as some people might think, you.

A

Know if they don't feel it's appropriate to them, they don't they don't have to do.

A

It so check check what the legislation says about that individual business. Ask.

A

The manager of the business, what rules they've got in place? That's.

A

Probably the most sensible thing to do you. We live in a world where people can.

A

Make their choices and their decisions down? When were the playground to be open.

A

At the moment, the government has given no information about playgrounds and.

A

Until we get that advice, that playgrounds will remain closed, so pina.

A

Is asking about masks on buses? So as of monday, everybody who is over the age of.

A

11 and not subject to a medical exemption is supposed to be wearing a.

A

Face covering not a mask a face covering, it could be a homemade face covering it.

A

Does not need to be a medical mask, so if you don't have something with you and.

A

You're able to adapt something, a scarf or whatever that's absolutely acceptable.

A

There was quite a long list of exemptions, people who have respiratory.

A

Conditions, people who have communication issues, people who have heart problems.

A

Any anybody under the age of 11 there's a whole list. You can check on the.

A

Department for transport website on who is exempt from wearing a face mask the.

A

Bus drivers will know we are trying to encourage people to carry some sort of.

A

Card that confirms that they have an exemption just so that it's easier and.

A

It doesn't need to be a debate, but it is down to the bus companies or the train.

A

Companies or the ferry companies to enforce it, it's not a council matter if.

A

You're not content with the way the transport company dealing with it. I.

A

Suggest you go to the transport company and actually say that you don't think.

A

It's being managed properly, the bus companies have taken a massive hit.

A

They've had to invest a lot of money on other measures like screens for the.

A

Drivers, the drivers, incidentally, don't need to wear face, masks. They've got a.

A

Screen, if they're wearing a face, mask and they're, also wearing glasses, that.

A

Could be quite dangerous, so you know be mindful that.

A

Might be a very good reason for them not to be wearing a mask. They've closed. Some.

A

Of the seating they've removed some of the bench chairs that they're having to.

A

Hygenically clean the buses a lot more often so you know everybody is, is struggling.

A

To find a way through this sure exactly when the tea room is open to let staff.

A

Back in the cafe, no sit-down facilities are currently allowed anywhere until the.

A

Earliest 4th of 4th of july, the government had set the 4th of july as.

A

The date june, on which they would expect the next phase of lockdown to be lifted.

A

At the moment that date is still in place, we don't know whether that date.

A

Will actually come to pass or whether that will be moved again, but certainly.

A

No cafes bars, restaurants should be offering sit-down facilities before that.

A

Date once we get to that date, if what we're expecting to happen happens, then.

A

Cafes, like the upton country park, tea rooms, which I visited, there lovely.

A

Little kiosk in the gardens on some saturday was when I went from what that.

A

Will open again those tea rooms that any other cafes need to be sure that they.

A

Are able to comply with the rules they've been given and that they have.

A

Staff who can safely work say that that will obviously vary from place to place.

A

Now we have a merge account any plans to join up cycle lanes.

A

Oh gosh matt. We are so desperate to get this linked up cycle lane. That goes.

A

Along the this side of the a338, we have a significant amount of money.

A

That's come through the transforming cities fund, something like 80 million.

A

Pounds when you add in the money we are putting in and our partners are putting.

A

In it's over a hundred million pounds to spend on the sustainable transport, the.

A

Government were quite prescriptive around which of the schemes that we are.

A

Able to spend the money on I'm not sure if that one is there, but it is something.

A

We're actively trying to put something along the side from the a338.

A

Up towards blackwater, so we're all really keen to do that. It may be that.

A

That comes as part of the development around wessex field, because if jobs are.

A

Being provided and homes have been provided there, we need to make sure that it's all linked up so watch. This space is on our agenda.

A

That these things take an awful long time to to come through lauren says she.

A

Hasn't got the sound, I hope. That's not me. Everybody else seems to be hearing me.

A

Okay, so lauren. I don't if you might need to press fn f4 for if you're, in a laptop.

A

Apparently, you can get yourself in a right pickle with that. Okay, richard has.

A

Replied to sharon that once the road is resurfaced, then the traffic lights will.

A

Go back off my granddaughters entitled to free school meals. Her school is.

A

Providing her with food packs half the time his bread is moldy or she said. Oh.

A

God janette, I have a horrible feeling. I know which school you're talking about I've had some real problems with one of the.

A

Schools who have been providing really below par provisions, can you email me or.

A

My colleague sandra moore, because if it is the school, I think it is, we need to.

A

Deal with this because it's it's been going on for a while, most schools are.

A

Providing and the free school meals vouchers for those children who aren't.

A

Attending school those children who are at school and receiving infant free.

A

School meals, my husband works in the school. I know that they're providing.

A

Around a hundred meals a day to the children who are in school, which is.

A

Quite different, but the children who are who are at home most of the schools are.

A

Providing the vouchers, the summer scheme that was announced yesterday following.

A

The fantastic involvement of marcus rushford, not big football fan, but I'm.

A

Really proud of what he's done it's about to scheme so that people will.

A

Receive that that that fifteen pounds a week, I don't know whether, for those.

A

Schools that are providing packs, whether that they will continue with that you.

A

Need to check with your school, but please do get in touch because there.

A

Have been one school that I've been very worried about and ray wants us to clean.

A

The prom, I'm not sure what you mean by cleaning the prom. I think we've got.

A

Enough issues down there at the moment, if you're talking about litter squads.

A

And litter squads are very, very much working hard from first like three.

A

O'clock in the morning to clean the beaches and teams are out cleaning as much as we possibly can any advance that the.

A

Question about bus drivers not wearing masks it's to do with the fact that it.

A

Can be quite difficult to to work in a mask over the many hours and if you're.

A

Wearing glasses, the last thing we need is steamed up glasses. If they've got a.

A

Screen between them and the passengers there's no reason why they should wear a.

A

Mask because they're not sharing the space, can some new road layout signs.

A

Go up at wallisdown, roundabout? david I'll mention that, because there's.

A

Some in my ward, which still up even though the new road layouts been there.

A

For eight months I know I did suggest that we should perhaps get there moved.

A

So leave that with me and okay in light of the whoo haa.

A

Statues don't talk to me about statues. Yes, we can cure this with creativity.

A

James we've got some great ideas. We have a cultural working party, that's starting.

A

To look at some of our wider culture, now that we are one council we're able to.

A

Look a lot broader, so there's a piece of work being done about looking at our.

A

History, some amazing people in her past that most of us know nothing about.

A

There's a chap from southbourne, I think it is. He was involved in slavery. It was.

A

Part of the abolitionist movement somebody's bound to fill me in, but.

A

Somebody said: there's a book that was written 28 years of slave, something like.

A

That I think it was written off the back of the 12 years of slave just to show.

A

Some other amazing stories of local people so we're doing a lot of work on.

A

That and we're also talking to the scouts and trying to set up some.

A

Conversations with them about having a closer link with them going forward if.

A

Cycling in groups allowed yet so technically these groups, any one more.

A

You're not allowed to be with more than six people that the rules haven't yet.

A

Changed so I suppose, if you were cycling in a group of less than six and you were.

A

Maintaining social distancing of two meters, then, whether you cycle walk or do.

A

Anything else's is legitimate, but remember you can only be outside and.

A

With up to six people from other households- and you must maintain social.

A

Distancing, okay, find your local counselor. What is the place regarding.

A

Touching of traffic lights, of course, it could potentially spread.

A

The virus, I don't think we can change all of our traffic lights, to remove the.

A

Touch pads, I think it's about sensible precautions. I'll sometimes touch things.

A

With my elbow or through my sleeve, I think we have to be reasonable on that.

A

Okay ah right, okay, 11-plus! Thank you for asking. I do.

A

Have an update the 11 plus is now open for applications. The schools are schools.

A

That have locations that have grammar schools are waiting for some advice from.

A

Government, but at the moment the expectation is that 11 plus exams and.

A

Other entrance exams will happen at the normal time. The applications are being.

A

Taken now for the tests in september, the dates have been set. There is an.

A

Assumption that provision will be made for those tests to go ahead in the.

A

Normal way in terms of people who are wanting to visit schools that their.

A

Children might be starting in september 2021, and that includes me. I've got a.

A

Child due to go up to after school scary thought that that is, we should be.

A

Going out now and visiting those schools, quite a lot of the schools are making.

A

Provision for virtual tours and some of the schools are making their own.

A

Provision for one-to-one tours it is down to the individual school to make.

A

Those arrangements, so you need to go on the school website that you're interested in and speak to them about what arrangements they're making in.

A

Terms of the question I had about the deadlines for applications and, though.

A

You haven't missed it. Thank you, your your queries. Just literally come up the.

A

Situation is that the date of is it the 15th, but there's a date in october, which.

A

Is for secondary schools and a date in january, which is for primary schools.

A

Those dates are set by the department of education they're, not local. They are.

A

National, so we can't change those and if the department of education makes any.

A

Amendment to that that, obviously we'll let you know, but we don't hear anything.

A

In advance that the information goes out, five o'clock from the government and.

A

It's usually the first time we actually hear about it. uh Weekly stats on my life.

A

Checked you know nadia. Last week, 17,000 people saw this.

A

We're ranging on a bad week about 6,000 people, and I think last week was the.

A

Highest 17,000 people who see it. Of course you can watch this back later.

A

We're getting up to anything between 300 and 1200 individual comments on this.

A

Every week and anything up to a couple of thousand people watching live, but.

A

17,000 people had watched it when I checked yesterday. I do know of people.

A

Who go home and do it in the evening and catch up on the whole thing.

A

So that if they've come in halfway through, they don't miss anything so someone's asked about drive-thru cinema claire. Thank you, claire claire. You log.

A

In every week- and I always watch your your comments, a it's good to have you.

A

With us- and I have been speaking about the possibility of a drive-in cinema, we.

A

Are looking at options, but at the moment there are no events allowed on council.

A

Land, so we are looking at whether there are providers that might be able to do.

A

It on private land, we know some other councils who are doing it and I've put.

A

The council, in touch with eastbourne, who are doing a drive through think that how.

A

Many people are being tested daily, a bcp for covid is their capacity to assess.

A

People without symptoms, we don't control the testing it's done independently by.

A

The nhs it is a private company that runs the site. I know that we are way.

A

Below capacity, my understanding is that we're currently using about 25 percent.

A

Of the capacity we have at the site, anybody that needs a test is pretty much.

A

Able to get a test, but the rules around who's entitled to a test are not.

A

Controlled by us and you can phone, I think it's one, one, nine or you can go.

A

Online, there are various options available. We know life is challenging.

A

With a lot of people, furloughed and type minimum policing and no christchurch police, the thieves, paradise boats are being broken into and you need to report.

A

This to the police, we are not the police, you, you know. Every week I get asked why.

A

Don't the police do this, that's a question for them. If there are crimes.

A

Being committed, you need to report them more often than not. People don't report.

A

A crime because they feel that it no one's going to do anything about.

A

It well, if you don't report it, then no one's gonna know it's happened. So you.

A

Really have got to keep reporting, it's really not something that we can control.

A

Go to the police either use 101. I know that can take an awful long time. So my.

A

My route is always to go to the dorset police website report online. You fill.

A

Out all the details, you can upload photographs, you can give all the details.

A

You want, without the frustration or feeling that has somebody written down.

A

What I've said you also have the option through that to ask for a victim support.

A

Call my only father's walking on the beach use whisper bees well, whisker from.

A

Being struck, we've all got to work together. I don't think we can you two.

A

Keep going over this people are often or whisk after being struck and near misses.

A

Happen, we've all got to respect each other. The problem is a shared space. We.

A

We have issues every year, we always have done and you were going to see more.

A

Bikes bike cyclists need to be cycling in moving to single-file, though I did.

A

Have quite a heated conversation with a family in creekmore and the castleman.

A

Trail way at the weekend, where 15 of them 15 people were spread across the.

A

Whole of the trail way and a mother and two daughters came along. I heard the.

A

Ring their bells and they got screamed abuse out by this massive family who's.

A

Your boo-boo bail, I actually spoke out. I heard your bells.

A

I heard your bells and this family gave me grief, and I said just fifteen of you.

A

And you are spread across, you need to move over as well, so I think we've got.

A

To start having a go at cyclists, there are plenty of really rude walkers, as.

A

Well, so, let's all stop being rude to each other. Let's all try and respect.

A

Each other space- yes, you do get near, misses sometimes. Yes, we need to slow our.

A

Cyclists down, but the cyclists do have a right to be there until the end of june.

A

And then, after that, they have a right to be there in the mornings and in the.

A

Evenings that is a shared space as we're getting more staff on board we're able.

A

To approach people about bad behaviors, whether that's people taking their dogs.

A

On beaches that are not allowed- and these are mainly local people, so if.

A

You're going on the beach with a dog, there are specific areas you can check.

A

On our website, when you arrive at the beach, you get a sign that says which way.

A

Is the dog beach which way is not the dog beach? That's down to you? If you take.

A

Your dog or a dog beach expect people like us to have a word with you, because.

A

It's not right the same with barbecues. They are not allowed on the beach at all.

A

Before 6 o'clock, after 6 o'clock, they're allowed in specific locations details on.

A

The website please try not to use disposable, barbecues use. You know, use.

A

Something which you can take away with you so you're not impinging on anybody.

A

Else, one of the toilets going to be open most of the toilets, are open. Kirsteen.

A

Most of them have been open for weeks. Do you look on the website? You have a full.

A

List there are four sets of beachfront toilets, which I understand will not be.

A

Reopened, I don't have the list to hand branksome dean. Chine is one of them.

A

Gordon zigzag is another one. I cut my what the other two are, but the reason.

A

They can't reopen is because they're so small that they would not be safe for.

A

Social distancing or they're in a location that would breach being able to.

A

Use a beach hut or have emergency access within the next two weeks. All of the.

A

Other toilets along the beachfront will have been opened. They are.

A

Increasing them week by week, we also will have had more staff who are able to.

A

Get them cleaned and then, as we've got their staff coming in, we can extend into.

A

The evening we have had some issues with not being able to keep the disabled.

A

Toilets that you'd normally open with a radar key open in the evening and that's.

A

Because of abuse that we've had with people abusing the radar key doing, vandalism.

A

So they're double locks in the evening to protect to protect. You know.

A

That the sites from from vandalism and they're not being able to be used by.

A

People during the day why the big men throw the food waste bins instead of put.

A

In the back by the gates, barbara, but I've done a bit- I have worked for eight.

A

Hours as a bin person, my god, it's one of the most difficult jobs, I've ever done.

A

I'm sure that most of them do their best not to throw them, but they are running.

A

Behind that lorry right now- and you know that they do their best to.

A

Respect your property, but sometimes they are under massive pressure to get moving.

A

But I will pass the feedback back.

A

Are bcp council sessions broadcast live joshua? Yes, they have last week before.

A

Council meeting had 850 people watching live on youtube from all around the.

A

Country, it was quite spectacular. We had our ovo scrutiny board meeting.

A

That was published at broadcast live on monday. All of our public meetings that.

A

You would normally be able to attend a broadcast live on youtube. You go to our.

A

Website go to the democracy pages and meetings you can log in direct from.

A

There and you can watch any of them, bring the popcorn. Some are really interesting. Some of them you might want to. Actually you know, do if you're it's.

A

You're struggling to sleep libraries judy libraries are not due to open yet.

A

They're in the third wave, so the earliest they could open would be the.

A

Fourth of july, however, I suspect most of them will not a on the fourth of july.

A

For a range of reasons they may open in some locations, some of our key areas may.

A

Open some of the smaller ones, probably won't partly to do with the staff being.

A

The physical building, the fact that you can't social distance inside some of.

A

Them will open so that we can provide limited facilities. It's highly unlikely.

A

The normal facility will be back for a good time yet can we do a big clap.

A

Support for our premier fc for this first match. No, of course, I hope they.

A

Stay up, don't you house swaps, they're already happening.

A

So dorset home choise, we open three weeks ago, the usual process. You you.

A

Apply as you normally do, so please get on dorset home choice. We know people.

A

Are already moving, my wife or daughter were tested last week they only saw.

A

Yeah, it's vastly underused adam again, it's not not out not our concern.

A

Okay right and try to find something, that's relevant here constantly.

A

Reporting theft from allotments, if it luke, if you've, got a problem with your allotment.

A

Write into the council and ask for more fencing, but be aware that we have a.

A

Thirty two million pound hole in our this year, so the reality of getting more.

A

Fencing for your allotment without an associated increase in the cost of.

A

Allotments is unlikely yeah, the bin men are doing a brilliant job. They are.

A

Fantastic okay, I'm sat on the beach cyclists are.

A

Flying all the rangers need more powers, they do a good job. They do an amazing.

A

Job our rangers are under massive pressure they're having to deal with all.

A

The first-aid issues that they are no, I would normally deal with they're still.

A

At around 30/35 percent of normal normal rate, what do we want them to do, step in.

A

Front of a speeding cyclist, I think that that would not be safe, they're doing.

A

What they can to intervene when they can, even if they have more powers, stepping.

A

In front of a cyclist is probably not right, the truth is our by law requires.

A

Us to have a police officer present to get the name and address of somebody who.

A

Is breaching the bylaw? The bylaw is only the summer ban between 10:00 and 6:00.

A

The rest of it there is no bylaw and cyclists aren't allowed to be on there.

A

So it's frustrating I know, but they live very limited things that we can do. Let's.

A

Be nice? Yes, let's be nice, the youngsters with a barbecue the other day, not a.

A

Throwaway barbecue, a big one, he phoned the police was told to throw the fire brigade. He didn't because there wasn't a fire. Okay, I'm trying to understand what.

A

The problem is if the barbecue was on the heathland: it's not legal. If the barbecue was on the beach after 6:00, it's not the right.

A

Part of the beach that's fine. The barbecue was somewhere at the apogee.

A

Zarb and then they're banned, I'm not quite sure, I'd. Rather they have a proper.

A

Barbecue that a throwaway barbecue, because that's not leaving any waste but.

A

I'm not quite sure what the query is if it breaks a bylaw. The council.

A

Can act, if it breaks a criminal law, then the police can act if it's not breaking.

A

A law, then it's antisocial and not very nice, but there's not a lot. We can do.

A

Okay, positivity. I wish we could stop the hate. It's just horrid. Okay, the dedicated.

A

Cycle opt-in, boards and paul so andrea, let's just go back to cycling very.

A

Briefly, because I've only got a few minutes left, I've already talked about.

A

The 80 million pounds that we've got for our transfer city's fund, which deals with some specific routes, including the main route.

A

From fern down to pull from wimborne to christchurch it's about five or six.

A

Cross routes, you can see on our website, which ones they're going to be and.

A

They're going to create some super highways for bikes, they're, going to create better bus gates, so buses get priority, so we can start chopping out.

A

Some of the delays temporarily we've been given some additional money to do.

A

Temporary cycle improvements saturday, we will see the advert go out that pull key.

A

And the pall lower high street will be closed from a week later for the.

A

Forseeable, so that we can enable people to socially distance better to have a.

A

Car-Free experience and that's an experimental traffic regulation order.

A

Which, if it's successful, we would like to see extended so that that becomes a.

A

Much more people friendly place, but various cycling routes between.

A

Bournemouth and poole and christchurch and bournemouth and all the way in.

A

Between they're all underway, 600 suggestions were made to us. We have 15.

A

Of them that will be progressed in the next three weeks. We have to progress.

A

Them in small chunks, because if we don't progress, the 15 that we we've we've, we.

A

Published then the government doesn't give us the next phase of the money. So.

A

Rather than trying to do too much and then falling down and then losing the.

A

Money we're doing them in stages, so paul the form of bournemouth to paul. I.

A

Totally agree with you, I live in paul. I have to get to bournemouth at the moment.

A

I'd be a bit nervous about cycling in russia as well. The bins on the key are.

A

Over filling and spilling over philly, our team are doing as much as they can.

A

To empty those bins, as often as they can, they are emptied every day, sometimes.

A

They're open to eat once a day and you without having more staff to empty the.

A

Bins for a temporary period, these things are going to happen if a bin is full.

A

When you get to a bin, don't put your staff near that bin, the respectful thing.

A

To do is to take your rubbish home with you on rubbish. We do have a new project.

A

That we launched yesterday with our schools, there's a load more signage.

A

That's gone up, they keep left signage, the social distancing, signage, there's.

A

Nellie the fish the recycling fishes coming down to the beach in the next few.

A

Weeks to remind people to recycle their stuff, there is lots more going on.

A

Regarding messaging around littering that's being done professionally, however,.

A

We launched the scheme yesterday with our schools to encourage children who.

A

Are really really upset with the behavior of a lot of grown-ups in the.

A

World and we're asking our children to design us some posters that we will.

A

Hopefully be able to get put into into production ready for the summer holidays.

A

Say look out for it. Our team launched it last night. The press release was.

A

Approved so by the end of the week, we should have this little and little.

A

Project running and I think, we've only given the children till the thinker's.

A

The third of july to get their artwork into us, so we've.

A

Got time to turn it into in some decent artwork to be put around it about across.

A

Born with christchurch and pool so do get get you all right. Get your own.

A

Applications in blue bed renewal not come through. Can I see you won't get a.

A

Fine, there was some advice from the department for transport sue about.

A

Extensions to those blue badge renewals, so I think you'll be fine, but it is.

A

Worth following it up, I was the hiring process going so and there's a whole lot.

A

Of people who are being recruited and are in training this weekend due to go.

A

Live next week and another batch the following week, so we're actually a week.

A

Ahead of where we thought we would be in terms of recruiting additional staff, the.

A

Security staff that we recruited started work two weeks ago, but we only had the.

A

Money set aside to do a few weeks, so we're going to have to review that every couple of weeks and okay, any plans of reducing council tax bills. In a word.

A

About no okay hairdressers are in phase three, and so.

A

The earliest they could open would be the fourth of july, whether they do open.

A

On all is going to be down to what the rules are put in place by government and.

A

We don't know what those are at the moment, although, as you can see, I could.

A

Probably do with a haircut myself the waste collection- tick. Yes, yes, yes, lovely.

A

Site of the cruise ships- I we don't own the sea, unfortunately, that far out, if.

A

They were part up close, you might get something, but no, but hopefully it's drawn people to come and have a look.

A

I made a buy an ice cream or parked their car and make a bit of money from.

A

The council that way so right, doom, I believe, will get the air festival in.

A

2021 paul there with every intention to run the air festival in 2021. It is.

A

Actually booked for the first weekend of september deliberately so we can extend.

A

The season we have made that booking all of our contracts are being rolled over.

A

To that year, so there's no reason why it won't go ahead. Clearly, we can't predict.

A

The future, any more than you can so yeah that the intention is that it will be.

A

Happening in 2021 and okay: no we're not planning to offer a rebate for beach.

A

Owners we have said that so many times gemma, there are all sorts of things.

A

We've not been able to use during the lockdown, and we have to move on with.

A

This now we have a thirty two million pound hole in our finances. We are.

A

Working really hard to change our plans to reduce and remove that. But if we.

A

Don't actually feel that 32 million pound hole we won't be having any.

A

Services next year, because the council will have gone bankrupt, that is our.

A

Priority right now we're lobbying the government for money to fill that hole.

A

We're doing everything we can to support businesses so that they can be stopped.

A

Because if businesses don't restart, people haven't got jobs and that's our.

A

Priority where people have been vulnerable, we've supported them where.

A

Business is available, we've supported them. If you have financial reasons, why.

A

You can't pay for your beach hut, then you can apply for a deferral of your.

A

Payment's, if you want to give your beach hut back because you've decided it's not.

A

For you anymore, that is your right. We're waiving various conditions that we have.

A

On that that we are not planning to give people a rebate for a number of weeks.

A

Had it rained for six weeks and I'm sure people wouldn't have been too concerned.

A

About the beach huts not being available so no eltham utley, that's not our planet.

A

And it wasn't at the beginning: okay, air festivals, confirmed frankie for that tim.

A

Our barbecues are the clifftop know, they're not supposed to be on the.

A

Clifftop keep your barbecues at home. If you can.

A

And taken to the designated areas, we are looking at whether there are a couple of.

A

Parks that we could create dedicated barbecue areas, but they cost quite a lot.

A

Of money, because we need to provide the bob, the electric barbecues and all the.

A

Facilities that go with it, there are funds that we can apply to through.

A

What's called the community infrastructure levy where local ward.

A

Counselors can champion a scheme and in fact this week we've approved six.

A

Hundred thousand pounds worth of projects in the pool area using money.

A

That was raised in paul over the last couple of years from developments.

A

Everything from money towards a school that needs a swimming pool, replacing to.

A

A community room in a library to zebra crossing in creeks, more gosh. I can't.

A

Think borne valley is somebody in a project up there across the whole of.

A

Paul that money is being spent there's a separate fund, but for bournemouth and so.

A

Each ward councillor had some money which they could spend in their ward.

A

They've got until october to get those projects in once we get past october. The.

A

Money from the whole area has been put into one pot so that we aren't.

A

Separating it into a pool project or a bournemouth project, christchurch is.

A

Slightly different because the money that they get gets transported straight.

A

To their town or parish councils, so that those local projects can be run by the.

A

Town or parish council, so if you've got a project in that area, talk to the town.

A

Or parish they have access to the money. In the same way, do I have them numbers.

A

Of people in hospitals with cabbage I don't know bad, but you can look on the.

A

Public health, england website for that information it does change all of the.

A

Time: okay, it's gone half past, so I'm going to close this down, but I'm just.

A

Trying to see if there's anything else, critical it's father's day on sunday.

A

Don't forget cause huge embarrassment. If you forget and say you know, bear in mind.

A

I'm sure your father would like something delightful for the garden.

A

We've just taken on an allotment, so I think you can get a few guesses of what.

A

Father in my house is going to get so there we go.

A

Oh couple of things, masks and gloves are not recyclable. Please do not put them in.

A

The recycling bin- please put them in the black waste bin, and be aware that.

A

It's school sports week, school sports week at home. Coming up so I know my.

A

Children are doing our sports day at home. Your children might be doing it.

A

Already, if they're not go to the youth sports trust website- and there is a.

A

Project there, where you can register, get all the materials run your sports day at.

A

Home, your school is probably involved with it as well. So it's great and the.

A

Only other thing I wanted to say was: please please, please stay local shop.

A

Local we're asking people to support our local businesses, we're working with some.

A

Great partners, some of the the echoo hot radio-wave, are doing some free.

A

Advertising for businesses to try and get the economy moving again, so you know.

A

Please, if you, if you are safe to go out, please go out and use our local shops.

A

They've had a really really tough time, they're all spending a lot of money to.

A

Put measures in place to give you a good experience when you're shopping stay.

A

Left say: socially distance shop, local use a card if you can and and if you can.

A

Get there by foot or on bike, even better I'd, rather that you came by bike and.

A

Didn't pay to park in a car park if you can, if you can get there in with on two.

A

Wheels up on your feet: if not, then, obviously our car parks are.

A

All open for you to be able to to to park in them, so I will see you all next.

A
