BCP Council towed away 13 vehicles in the summer of 2020 TOWING powers to remove cars parked illegally across the conurbation will continue to be used this year, council chiefs have confirmed. BCP Council launched a trial of the towaway measures last summer following a spate of issues across the three towns. This move was made when the Unity Alliance administration had been in control of the local authority, with then transport cabinet member Cllr Andy Hadley saying there was no choice but to action in response to the problem that had arisen. The council used the powers to move 13 vehicles last summer, although they were not available during the busy post-lockdown months of June and July.

Proposals within its draft budget include a £50 million pandemic recovery fund and £10 million to improve education provision for children with extra needs. Councillor Drew Mellor, its leader, said the plan allowed it to “invest significantly” without putting the burden on ratepayers. For the first time since it was formed in 2019, BCP Council will charge the same level of council tax in each of the three towns.

(WSIL) The Southern Illinois Unity Coalition hit the road to start the holiday weekend with an MLK Love Train.
Around two dozen vehicles made their way from Harrisburg to Murphysboro, stopping at Marion s Ray Fosse Park along the way.
Coordinator Nancy Maxwell says Saturday s event is about bringing Love -and- Unity to the 618.
Since the George Floyd protest the group, which goes by the shortened name SO. ILL Unity Coalition, has been working to gain more awareness on social injustice. We want to continue this movement, keep people aware, says Maxwell who is the Community Grassroots Director. So that one day, maybe not me will see it in my lifetime, but maybe my child will have an equal opportunity to walk down the street, lay in a bed, play in a park without worrying about being shot.
The first time John Elliott Neville s name appeared on the front pages of the Winston-Salem Journal was on June 27, seven months after his death.Â
At the beginning of the summer, Winston-Salem, like the rest of the country, witnessed people pouring out into the streets, angered at the death of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis who died on May 25 after a white police officer placed his knee on Floyd s neck for nearly nine minutes. Floyd was unarmed and lying on the ground, handcuffed.Â
He is seen on a cellphone video, saying the words, I can t breathe. Â
John Neville said the same phrase at least 28 times over a three-minute period, as he lay on his stomach in a jail cell while detention officers piled on top of him in an attempt to remove his handcuffs. His feet were tucked up toward his buttocks. On July 8, the five detention officers and a nurse were charged with involuntary manslaughter â Lt. Lavette Maria Williams, 48; Cpl.
