A YOUTH hub which has relaunched following the lockdown has received a huge boost thanks to a £21,000 grant. Bridport Youth and Community Centre (BYCC) has received the grant courtesy of the Julia and Hans Rausing Trust. The trust s Youth Centre Recovery Fund is designed to help youth centres survive and recover from the impact of the pandemic, so that they can continue to support young people. The grant will be used for covering operating costs and youth workers salaries for six months. It will also be used to extend its youth activities to be able to offer more support for young people in Bridport and the surrounding areas.
Hampshire County Council has agreed new contract arrangements to maintain the equipment needed for this. It will also be updated with the latest technology to continually improve the system for the benefit of passengers. The decision to agree to a four-year procurement framework was made by Cllr Russell Oppenheimer, the council s Executive Member for Highway Operations. He said: “Approving the move to a new framework will ensure that Hampshire’s bus users can continue to benefit from accurate travel information, including last minute timetable changes at the bus stop - keeping them informed about their journeys, providing reassurance and helping to support passengers’ safety.
