Moordown Green News - Jan/Feb 2022 with local campaigner Kate Salmon IN THIS EDITION Council to consider new crossing on Charminster Road | Sign the petition now: tinyurl.com/CRcrossing [1m22] Amazing community Covid response: Thank you Moordown [1m44] Can Kate help? CHARMINSTER ROAD: COUNCIL TO CONSIDER NEW CROSSING Local parent Kate Salmon has started a campaign for a new crossing on Charminster Road, for safer journeys to local schools on East Way and on Malvern Road. Kate says: "Something that I notice as a parent walking my children to school every day from our home, is there's no safe pedestrian crossing for anyone who lives north of East Way up to Castle Lane West, across Charminster Road or across West Way. And the traffic is really busy at this time in the morning. So it's something that does concern me. I think it might have a lot to do with the amount of traffic that there is here, that people don't feel safe to walk their children to school, from the Luckham Road Estate in particular, and the houses on Malvern Road and on Uplands Road as well. "So I've written to the Council, asking them to consider putting a new pedestrian crossing on this part of Charminster Road, outside the run of shops. And one of the things that the Council said in response is that they look at local demand. That's one of the criteria they'll use when they're assessing the viability of a new crossing. "So for that reason, I've launched a petition, which I'm asking people in the local area if they'll sign - if they think it's a good idea to have a new crossing point on this part of Charminster Road, to make this area safer for children travelling to local schools. I'd be really grateful if you could sign the petition at tinyurl.com/CRcrossing, and that will help us to win this argument with the Council." AMAZING COMMUNITY COVID RESPONSE: THANK YOU MOORDOWN Many #Moordown residents volunteered for BCP Council’s much-praised “Together We Can” programme. Across #BCP over 2,000 signed up. Volunteers have helped to collect essential medications and deliver food supplies to local people in need during the pandemic. Volunteers also worked to get the message out to those not online. Kate Salmon said: “I’m so proud of the community in Moordown and #Bournemouth for pulling together through this tough time. “Through Together We Can, I was paired as a regular volunteer for a resident who was shielding due to a health condition. I was pleased to be able to help by doing her shopping through the shielding periods.” Kate, who by day works for an anti-poverty charity, added: “The excellent Bournemouth Foodbank had to shift from collection to delivery. Food bank demand continues to rise, as it has every year since 2008. I was one of the extra volunteers answering calls from our area’s Life Centre food bank to take a parcel to a household in need.” CAN KATE HELP? Kate Salmon says: "I'm keen to hear from local residents about any neighbourhood issues you might have. So please do get in touch." e: kate.salmon@bcp.greenparty.org.uk f:   / katesalmongreen   KATE'S PRINT NEWSLETTERS Kate's community newsletter is delivered by volunteers to every letterbox in the Moordown area.
