New cycle and pedestrian paths proposed THE installation of upgraded cycle and foot paths through Kings Park is set to get underway, thanks to a government grant. Starting in late July, the work will be funded through cash from the government’s Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) and will form part of an 8km ‘sustainable travel route’ between Bournemouth railway station and Jumpers Common in Christchurch. Councillor Mike Greene, transport portfolio holder for BCP Council, said: “Kings Park is an important location connecting Christchurch and Bournemouth. These planned improvements will really open up sustainable travel as a viable, attractive, healthy and safe way to commute between these areas.
CONSULTATION has begun on the final two routes in the £100 million Transforming Cities Fund project for south east Dorset. Details of the two routes – one linking Poole town centre with Ferndown and Wimborne and the other from Merley to Christchurch – have been published ahead of work starting in the coming months. They are the longest of the six planned and, on top of aiming to improve cycle and pedestrian links, include better provision for bus services. The mainly government-funded scheme will see new segregated cyclist and walking routes created alongside new bus shelters with real-time service information and road changes to priorities buses.

The early May Bank Holiday is upon us and a three-day weekend is in place for many people across the country.
SIR DAVID Attenborough warns us it s our last chance this year -with the coming climate conference- to put things right . He says young people just don t understand why the adults are not acting to protect the natural world. He points out that global collaboration is needed or we ll lose the lot . Unfortunately the unambitious plans of both central and local government are a complete betrayal of the next generation and amount to a hate crime. The young are not being told of the dreadful implications of scientific reports. Shortages of food, clean water and other resources lie ahead as economic, natural and societal systems collapse.
