Man jailed for gun threat rape during massage

Waste plans response

egy that works for the local area and our environment.” She revealed more than 200 comments were submitted from the paper engagement packs, by letter, email and from local organisations.   The consultation happened after the cabinet recommend- ed in November that the draft strategy be worked on in more detail to see how a new waste service could operate. Cllr Hoare has defended the process and insisted wheelie bins are not a “done deal”. She argued the council needed to make changes to improve recy- cling rates which are among the lowest in the country. About 90% of homes are fore- cast to get a wheelie bin, if in- troduced, but critics say they are ugly additions to the street, cumbersome for older residents to handle and unsuitable for ru- ral areas. Any changes to the waste and recycling service would not be implemented until 2022 at the earliest.

NEARLY 3,800 residents and organisations responded to New Forest District Council’s controversial waste proposals which could see wheelie bins in- troduced. Cllr Alison Hoare, cabi- net member for the environ- ment, said the authority was “pleased” at the response and all of the submissions would be analysed by an independent re- search company. It will report back to the Con- servative-controlled council’s cabinet in the coming months before members consider po- tential options. Initial sugges- tions included alternate fort- nightly collections of general rubbish and recycling. Cllr Hoare said: “We’ve been pleased to see so much useful discussion in our public engage- ment around our draft waste strategy which looks at the changes we can make to reduce waste and increase recycling in the district. “The feedback you’ve given will help us shape a waste strat-

During a search of the premises officers found five imitation firearms, including a replica pistol which matched the description given by the victim. Interviewed by officers, Glover claimed the sexual activity had been consensual but made no comment to questions around the use of the firearm. He subsequently denied four charges: two of rape, having a firearm with intent to commit an offence, and assault by penetration. The jury found him guilty after a trial. On release, Glover will be subject to an extended licence period of a further seven years and a sexual harm prevention order.

Launched three years ago to recognise outstanding contri- butions of staff, volunteers and governors at schools, colleges and special education settings, the Hampshire Education Awards were held virtually this time due to the pandemic. This year more than 35 teach- ers, support staff and governors received awards, which were judged by head teachers and a college principal. Janet McCann, from Forest Park School in Totton, received a teaching and learning award for leading a team of learning support assistants and person- al carers to find fun and inno - vative ways of engaging with pupils with special educational

DC Tom Bancroft, of Bournemouth CID, said after sentencing: “She suffered a horrific ordeal at the hands of this defendant that he then compounded by continuing to deny his offending and taking the matter to trial. “I would like to praise the victim for the strength she has shown throughout – from coming forward initially, through to supporting the investigation and giving evidence for the trial. “We will always take reports of sexual offences extremely seriously and have a specialist team of officers who will investigate cases and ensure victims are fully supported.” To report sexual assault, contact Dorset Police on 101 or go to the Shores independent sexual assault referral centre for Dorset via 01202 552056 or www.the-shores.org.uk needs. At Ringwood Junior School, a long-running engineering club for Year 6 pupils was also hailed for enabling youngsters to learn new skills by taking part in a range of practical projects. The volunteer-run initiative received a wider support contri- bution award after judges heard children developed practical skills ranging from electronics to soldering, before having the opportunity to take their com- pleted projects home. Hampshire County Council’ cabinet member for education, Cllr Roz Chadd, said: “This has been a truly challenging year for our exceptionally hard-working teachers, support staff and vol- unteers. “These awards have show- cased the fantastic dedication and talent across Hampshire’s family of schools and colleges.”

Fake firearm held against woman’s head in ‘horrific ordeal’

By JON WALLER

A MAN who held a fake gun to a woman’s head and raped her during a massage in Christchurch has been jailed for 18 years. Neil Glover (47) attacked the woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – after returning for a second appointment, Bournemouth Crown Court heard. The defendant, of no fixed abode, contacted the woman and had a massage from her on 10th February last year, during which he forcibly touched her. She stopped Glover and he immediately apologised.
