PEOPLE first remains the option for the autumn Local Plan consultation for Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. The view is different from the approach taken by Dorset Council where councillors put forward their proposals – and then asked residents what they thought of them. BCP brief holder for the plan Cllr Philip Broadhead says the local approach lets people have their say before the council tries to hone the ideas it receives down in a series of key strategies for a second round of consultation. Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting re-affirmed that it would wait for the area’s own housing needs assessment to be completed before the autumn consultation – possibly using it as an alternative to the Government’s standard calculation method, based on 2014 figures.
HIGHCLIFFE School has received a grant of £10,000 to adapt the school for an incoming student who is wheelchair bound. Isabella, a Year 7 student with Cerebral Palsy, which affects her physical abilities and speech, required the school to undergo some necessary changes to accommodate her ongoing needs. The Talbot Village Trust’s funding contributed to the installation of electronic doors, in addition to adapting a toilet and providing Isabella with a dedicated space to carry out physiotherapy. These adaptations have enabled Isabella to independently access all areas of Highcliffe School and have encouraged her to be autonomous in many aspects of her senior school education.
