Bay County officials review designs for Philip Griffitts Sr. Parkway
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bay County officials held their third public meeting Thursday night on phase three of the Philip Griffitts Senior Parkway. The proposed two-lane roadway would run from North Clara Avenue to Chip Seal Parkway. It's meant to alleviate traffic congestion on Panama City Beach Parkway. There are three designs for the 5-mile roadway. The newer design, preferred by Bay County officials and residents, is the furthest from Breakfast Point property lines. Fire destroys Apalachicola family home; Franklin County Sheriff's Office leads fundraiser 'The southern darker blue line is closer to the property owner but would guarantee less mitigation credits or a lower cost project. So that's a lower-cost project. The middle line kind of splits the two as an alternative, but the cost for the middle is about the same as the cost for the northern line. So it just makes more sense to go with the north line,' Bay County Chief Infrastructure Officer Keith Bryant said. But many residents still aren't satisfied. 'I don't think the road adds any value to the county. I don't think it helps in any way. I think if anything, it's a waste of tax money. But the least that I hope to get out of coming here is to explain just how much potential there is for a negative impact on the residents that live in Breakfast Point in particular, and some other neighborhoods,' resident Cameron Matthews said. Many are concerned about the potential road's proximity to Walsingham Academy and Arnold High School. But, there are other reasons why some are supporting the project. 'We're just going to have to be a little patient, and by doing this project, it will take some of the stress off of Back Beach Road and shift to the people that don't want to go to the beach area, they just wanna get from a to b. And I feel like it's going to take time, but I think its worth it,' resident John Gheesling said. 'This project will help us increase water redundancy for PCB, our service area. So we're going to run a pipe, should this project move forward, we're going to run it under this road and it's going to be great for water redundancy,' Panama City Beach Mayor Stuart Tettemer said. Local women join forces for Habitat's 'Girls Play, Women Build' event The pipe would connect the east and west end of the beach as a backup system for the water supply. The project is in the second year of Project Development and Environmental, or PD&E, study and design. And they have another 2 years to go. Bay County expects the beach and FDOT to share the four-million-dollar PD&E and design costs. Bay County commissioners will consider tonight's feedback when choosing one of the three designs. After PD&E is complete, the county begins buying right of way and finding funds for construction. The FDOT will complete the final phase, an elevated road above Panama City Beach Parkway that will run from north Clara, west to Nautilus. The price tag for the entire 4-phase project will be about 100 million dollars. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS counsellors threaten to strike over pay
NHS mental health workers are voting on if they should go on strike in a row about Unison union claims 20 of its members are being paid trainee rates, despite being fully said the counsellors, who work for the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, were owed thousands of and Waveney Mind, which employs the counsellors, said hourly rates were set following an evaluation by an independent external body. A Unison vote on whether to take industrial action closes on 17 union's eastern regional organiser, Cameron Matthews, said: "These counsellors provide essential support to people going through serious mental health issues across Norfolk and Suffolk."But Mind has been taking advantage of their commitment to patients, paying them thousands of pounds a year less than they deserve."After months of talks, the staff have understandably had enough and decided the only way to change Mind's stance is to vote for industrial action." Unison said the row began last year when the counsellors, who were on band six of the NHS Agenda for Change salary scale, asked to go up a pay claimed "no progress" was made during and Waveney Mind insisted it wanted to work collaboratively with all parties involved to find a "productive and appropriate solution".A spokesperson said: "We began to deliver the NHS Talking Therapies service on 1 September 2024."We have had the role in question evaluated by an independent external body, which advised us that the counsellors' pay grade is correct."We are in ongoing talks with UNISON, ACAS and staff representatives and are committed to resolving this situation through open and honest dialogue with all parties."Norfolk and Waveney Mind said it would meet on 14 March to discuss the ongoing situation.
