A letter of support in yesterday's Echo
Cultured Cream
With reference to the council ice cream contract, aside from the ice cream contract being awarded to a multi-national company with a record like Nestle's, why does the council believe that the only type of ice cream that will sell from their prime locations is the variety loaded with E numbers? When we visit Cornwall and Devon it is always a pleasure to have their special dairy ie cream made locally from real dairy products. We have several local manufacturers that can provide great quality ice cream and give opportunities to local business too. Alternatively, let the kiosks to local businesses that have a real interest in providing quality products.
a Special Environment and Economy Scrutiny Panel meeting has been arranged for Wednesday 13 June 2007 at 4.00pm in the Royal Hampshire Committee Room, to consider the ‘call-in’.

Officers have looked at this untidy site in Boscombe, and also others which have appeared. they are monitoring the situation, and are contacting the owners to ask them to remove the rubbish.
On Friday I discovered the Conservatives have signed off an exclusive deal with Nestle for icecream on the sea front. As a director of Baby Milk Action, the NGO which co-ordinates the international Boycott Nestle Campaign, this was a shock and a disappointment.
I've now got until Friday to work out which of the 54 Councillors can sign a 'call in' and try to persuade three of them to do so.
I've also sent an email explaining my disappointment to all the Councillors. From the responses, I'm relieved I'm not the only one.

I am investigating, along with my ward colleagues, Cllr Chris Wakefield, and Cllr Phil Stanley Watts, the problems in Roumelia lane with pedestrian safety.There are a number of units with community activities running from them, including our own Boscombe Wholefood Co-op. I am persuaded by the Home Zone concept;Home Zones are streets where people and vehicles share the road space safely and on equal terms. Where quality of life takes precedence over ease of traffic movement.
Home Zones are designed to look different from conventional streets and are announced by the official Home Zone sign at entrances. Motorists see they should drive very slowly and give informal priority to other road users.
"We are also all keen to see new lighting. A scheme was drawn up, and funded from Boscombe West's Local Improvement Fund, before the election."
On Sunday 3rd June we are turning the Precinct into a Garden Centre for the day, with plants, gazebos, garden ornaments and furniture, Hog Roast, French Pancakes, Fire Engine, children’s rides and the Farmers Market and much more …
At 11.00 am the Mayor, Cllr Anne Filer, will declare Boscombe and Springbourne in Bloom open, by unveiling a pedestal in the Precinct.
