Two Forest libraries to shut by newyear

Cllr Andrews told a meet- ing of NFDC’s ruling cabinet last week: “If residents are concerned about what they’ve seen, they will be able to share information with us through our customer services team. And we will also make sure an out-of-hours option for report- ing is available.” Under new laws, staff work- ing in close-contact industries, including hairdressers, barbers, beauticians and tattooists, must wear a clear visor or gog- gles and a face mask. Businesses such as shops, theatres, beauty salons and hospitality venues must take steps to ensure customers also wear face masks unless exempt. Hospitality venues, such as pubs and restaurants, are required to close at 10pm and operate with table service only. As reported in the A&T, local tourism group Go New Forest has warned of cuts in income of up to 30% from the hospitality curfew, with New Forest West MP Sir Desmond Swayne call- ing for local autonomy over the rules. A spokesperson for NFDC said: “Social gatherings or oth- er disturbances that breach government legislation or the ‘rule of six’ should be reported as a breach of Covid regulations on the Hampshire Constabu- lary website or by calling 101.” FOREST MINI SKIPS LYMINGTON SKIP HIRE 07787 153873 12 Fairlea Road, Lymington

on Friday [today] and will be writing up a job description for the role, but essentially they will be reminding everyone what they are supposed to be doing.” Cllr Andrews added: “We are lucky in this area that Covid rates are relatively low, but we must not be complacent.” The marshals will have no for- mal powers to arrest anyone. It is understood they may break up groups of more than six in town centres but cannot issue on-the-spot fines. The Prime Minister also warned they may check on pubs and restaurants to make sure social distancing rules are being followed. NFDC will also introduce new measures to enable residents to report businesses which flout Covid-19 restrictions. People can alert the authority to firms that appear to be breaching the rules via its customer service phone line during office hours or online.

open at the most appropriate times for its local community and why we have changed some proposals at certain libraries following feedback that local people wanted more library access for their children at af- ter-school times.” Cllr Woodward added: “The changes to hours will be large- ly completed by January 2021 and each library will be updat- ing customers through their normal branch communication channels as these are put in place. “Customers will be aware that temporary hours have al- ready been in place across our libraries as part of our response to Covid-19 and I am pleased to say most of our libraries have now redistributed their current hours to allow for them to be open on Saturdays, making it easier for families whose chil- dren have returned to school to access their local library during the weekend.” To find out more about indi - vidual branch opening times visit www.hants.gov.uk/libraries andarchives / l ibrary / l ibrary finder ing an affair with his wife. By the time of the last coun- selling session on 7th May, Mr Parry informed police that he had told his wife he was con- sidering leaving her because he believed she was still cheating on him. Just the day before her meet- ing with Brehmer, Mrs Parry sent DC Rhodes a message saying: “I hate the way he is getting away with destroying women’s lives.” She wrote: “I am embark- ing on the slow and prolonged downfall of Mr Tim ‘man whore’ Brehmer,” adding: “I am going to make him suffer.” Mrs Parry said she intended to tell Brehmer’s wife: “Poor Martha, she really does deserve to know. I think I am going to tell her the truth.” She had also drafted a note to Mrs Brehmer which was found on her mobile phone. In it she said: “Myself and others have fallen victim to his promises and charms, his promises of be- ing in a loveless marriage. “I have since realised that I was not, and am not, the only one he weaved this story to. “There are at least two more. He tells us we are special and he’s fallen in love with us.” The trial continues. 34% in 2019/20 – significantly be - low the national average of 44%, must be tackled, the report warned. In 2018/19, NFDC’s perfor- mance was ranked 286th out of 345 councils in England. “Analysis of residual waste shows that most households could adequately contain their residual waste in a wheeled bin,” said the report. “Overall, 19% of residual waste placed in black sacks could have been recycled at the kerbside or bring-sites.” Chris Noble, NFDC’s service manager for waste and trans- port, told the A&T that 40% of waste in black bags comprised food waste. “This was shocking to everyone,” he said. Another issue with sacks, which were ruled out going for- ward, was the regularity with which they are ripped open by livestock and birds. The £500,000 cost of distributing 10-million of them every year was said to be unsustainable “The change would also im- prove the cleanliness of streets before and after collection by reducing litter and mess caused by split sacks and animal strikes,” officers said. “In 2019/20, over 150 com- plaints relating to mess on col- lection day were received by the customer services team.” NFDC is the only collection authority out of 13 in Hamp- shire to use a single-use sack as its “core collection meth- od”, meaning it must have a bespoke arrangement at the current materials recovery fa- cilities. Sorting staff must tear open sacks by hand so contents can be sorted. The report recommends bringing in a “twin stream” service, meaning household- ers will be provided with two containers for recyclables. One would contain glass, cans and plastic, and the other paper and card. Mr Noble accepted there would be homes unsuited to wheelie bins, such as flats and terraced housing in town cen- tres where space was limited, and narrow tracks in rural lo- cations. These households may retain sacks, and collection lor- ries could take both methods of waste storage. If it is agreed to take the pro- posed scheme forward, officers will put together a full business case and carry out further com- munity engagement.

Doubts over Blackfield but hopes Lyndhurst to be run by volunteers

TWO libraries which are being closed by Hampshire County Council as part of a bid to save £1.76m will officially shut their doors before the end of the year. Blackfield and Lyndhurst li - braries are among eight getting the chop, with the council also reducing the operating hours of the 40 remaining branches by around 20%. Lyndhurst library will close on 7th November for a refur- bishment before reopening in 2021 as a new community space and, said HCC, an independent community library run by vol- unteers. The future of Blackfield li - brary remains more uncertain. Although an HCC spokesper- son said it was “in discussions” with local groups to take it on, it will officially close its doors on 31st December.

posed cuts to opening hours saw over 70% of respondents say they would be happy with the reduction or that their needs would be met, said the county council. Cllr Seán Woodward, HCC cabinet member for recreation and heritage, said: “Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who took the time to share their

views with us – our aim is to pro- vide the best possible library ser- vice within our means and so it’s really important we understand how we can meet the needs of all Hampshire residents. “This is why our proposals for new staffed opening times have differed slightly for each library, to ensure that each branch is

I think she told my wife.” He was shown lying in the back of an ambulance being tended by paramedic Simon Mumford who asked him what had happened. A hysterical Brehmer can be heard telling him: “She was going to tell my wife we’d been having an affair for years. I don’t remember what happened. I said, ‘Get out!’ She wouldn’t. “I just wanted to drive off and kill myself.” He shouts out: “What have I done?”, “God, she’s got kids” and “What is my mother going to say?” Mrs Parry, the jury heard, was found lying half out of the car with her face and lips blue and a red mark around her neck. Paramedic Thomas Hull told how she was briefly resusci - tated, saying: “A few times we managed to get her back but

[her pulse] was very slow and weak.” Mrs Parry was taken to the- Royal Bournemouth Hospital where she died the next day. The court has heard how Mrs Parry met Brehmer while work- ing as a nurse in A&E at the hospital. She last had sex with him four days before her death. The same week, she and husband Andrew, who is also a police officer, had attended marriage counselling. He had confronted Brehmer in Febru- ary this year after he became suspicious the officer was hav - tify those households putting out contaminated recycling. About 20% of clear sacks are currently rejected. The council will also increase the volume it collects for recy- cling, including plastic trays and beverage cartons, which are not allowed under the cur- rent system.
