ELDERLY residents at a council-owned supported living accommodation in Bournemouth were left without a working lift for two months. During this time, those at Bethany House, most of whom suffer from mobility issues and require the use of wheelchairs or walking aids, have been forced to walk up and down flights of stairs with the help of family and friends. A daughter of a resident at Bethany House said people at the complex had their freedom taken away, following the easing of lockdown restrictions. The Bournemouth resident said: “My mum moved into sheltered accommodation a few months ago. We thought it would be a good idea as it would give her more security, safety and support.
The money is part of the government s Rough Sleeping Initiative to end rough sleeping across England. Councillor Robert Lawton, portfolio holder for housing at BCP Council, welcomed the £2,463,893 grant. The council says that since March 2000, along with its partners, it has helped support more than 450 people who were sleeping rough or at risk of ending up on the streets. In November 2019 the official street count figure for people sleeping rough in the BCP area was 72. The latest figure taken in March 2021, was 21. Cllr Lawton said the latest funding would help us to continue and build on the huge efforts that are taking place to help people who’ve been rough sleeping, as well as ensuring we are doing all we can to prevent people from becoming homeless in the future.
