Grand Central Station: Translink moves some bus services to Belfast

Translink has announced bus services from Downpatrick, Newcastle and Ballynahinch will operate from Belfast Grand Central Station from July. The move aligns with the launch of Translink's summer timetable and aims to enhance passenger convenience and connectivity, it said. The changes will see Goldliner coach and Ulsterbus services, including routes 215, 515 and 516 to Downpatrick; 237 and 520 to Newcastle; and the 652 to Ballynahinch via Cairnshill Park and Ride and Carryduff, all depart from Belfast from 1 July. It is part of Translink's ongoing transition to the £340m public transport hub in the centre of Belfast, which opened last September. 'Modern facilities and better connections' Translink's acting general manager for bus services, Phillip Woods, highlighted several benefits that such a move will bring for passengers. "We are pleased that our services will now offer customers greater convenience, access to modern facilities, and better connections to other bus, rail, cross-border and airport services," he Woods also confirmed that while Grand Central Station will be the main departure point, Adelaide Street will remain an outbound stop. On return journeys, buses will revert to their previous city centre set-down stop at Bedford Street before completing their routes at Grand addition, Translink will introduce a new express service, which will provide a faster, direct evening peak journey to Newcastle via the M1 bus lanes through will also affect the Metro network, with Metro 8 services relocating to their former stop at Donegall Square East from Howard Street, while continuing to travel via Great Victoria Street and Wellington Place.

Powys council to consider Home Office asylum seeker deal

Powys County Council is to consider a proposal from the Home Office which would see it get a boost to its housing budget in return for supporting asylum seekers. In a meeting of the cabinet next week, councillors will consider a pilot scheme being proposed by the Home Office which could increase support for the county's housing budget from Government funds. The paper recommends the cabinet puts forward a non-binding 'expression of interest' in the scheme on behalf of Powys County Council along with Carmarthenshire and Monmouthshire, to participate in the Home Office Asylum Dispersal Pilot. The plan would see the council buying or building new homes backed by Government money, then leasing them to the Home Office for 10 years before they return to the council's own estate. The Home Office would 'provide capital funding to Local Authorities to increase accommodation supply (of various types) in the medium-term (next 2-5 years)'. This would be through the 'purchase and renovation, or construction of new homes, including where practical on Local Authority owned land'. The Council would then 'lease the properties, which it would own, to the Home Office at Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates for a 10-year term', with Powys County Council 'regaining control of the properties after this when Home Office demand should be reducing following the implementation of wider initiatives.' It is thought this model 'will support a net increase' in the Powys County Council's own housing portfolio 'as well as add to the net availability of homes in each area where this model is taken forward'. The paper adds that 'should any new development of homes follow it is anticipated such projects would be funded by the Home Office and not incur costs to the Council but would ultimately lead to an increase in the Council's housing portfolio.' It is thought the plan would relieve one of the large financial pressures on Powys County Council which, the report says, has an estimated a budget gap of more than £60m over the next five years. it would cut the need for high-cost temporary accommodation currently being used for people on the social housing wait list. The boost in housing stock would also allow 'for quicker permanent housing to be offered to those in need of a home' and 'increase council tax revenue through a net increase in the number of homes in the county.'

The paper adds that: 'The provision of accommodation and support for asylum seekers and refugees is a complex matter, which to be undertaken equitably and safely benefits from understanding and empathy across communities and neighbourhoods.' It goes on to stress that 'the Council, both officers and members, as an accountable public service, has a role to play in helping dispel rumours and misinformation about such matters and encourage a greater understanding within our communities'.

‘My hut has no running water but the council charged me double tax'

When Derbyshire Dales district council voted to saddle second home owners with double council tax bills, officials argued it would free up more homes for first-time buyers. Those prospective buyers, however, likely have little appetite for a one-bedroom 1920s hutment with no running water, electricity or mains sewage system. And yet the council saw it fit to slap owners John and Fiona Jeffrey with a double council tax bill, amounting to £3,000 a year. Mr Jeffery, 66, and Mrs Jeffery, 63, whose main residence is in Sheffield, are outraged – not least because you would be hard-pressed to call their hutment habitable. It is inaccessible by road and a 40-minute walk from the nearest village. Had the council wanted to inform the couple in writing about the property's new tax bill, they wouldn't have been able to send a letter because there is no postal service. In fact, it is difficult to think of any council service that reaches their property. There is no bin collection or street lighting let alone libraries or schools. And yet, they are one of around 1,000 second home owners in the Derbyshire Dales who must now pay twice as much for these services.
