8. YOUTH FORUM ISSUES - page 35 - 07/102 Nicky Fenwick had introduced herself earlier and Debbie Weller advised Jeff Andrews had sent blank copies of questionnaires being put to the Youth Parliament regarding votes and transport. 9. UPDATE REPORT FROM PURBECK DISTRICT COUNCIL 07/103 Rachael Shefford reported SPIT (now known as South Purbeck Integrated Transport) had £60k to spend and the majority will go on the NCN Route 2 improvements but other projects are redesigning the Rempstone ride, cycle stands and completing Norden to Shell Bay route. Agreed to forward the update report on Ferry Road for Peter Bowyer, Studland Parish Council. There was some discussion on the problem of parking and congestion when visitors try to access the car parks at Studland. Advanced warning signs at Swanage and Wareham might help alleviate the problem. Rachael Shefford agreed to raise this with the Heritage Committee. 10. PURBECK COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP 07/104 Chairman advised all points had been covered earlier in the meeting. Mike Hadly asked if SPIT had considered a water borne access to and from Swanage. Rachael Shefford said there had been a water strategy research led by the National Trust but nothing had happened, she would look into this again. A pontoon would be needed at the beach in Studland. 11. COMMUNITY TRANSPORT 07/105 Helen Reed reported the decision had been made by the trustees to scale back the scooter scheme for the County due to lack of funding. Those who do apply will go through more stringent tests for suitability and must have a reference from either a youth centre, job centre or equivalent. Then a panel will interview them to determine the need. Insurance is an issue. 07/106 Debbie Weller reported on behalf of Nici Hill that the DART partnership would dissolve as of March 2008 due to lack of funding. Appreciation was extended to the supporting TAGs and assurance that existing projects would be continued, any outstanding would be handed over to the appropriate organisations. Don Gobbett is chairing the new DSP Accessibility Theme Group and Nici represents the TAG network. County Council will take over hosting the network from April 2008. DART was trying to create a Directory of Community Transport in Dorset and a survey had been sent out to relevant bodies. 07/107 The Home Hopper continues to be strongly supported and the Corfe Castle service will begin to operate every Tuesday instead of every other. During school holidays and always just before Christmas, clients are taken to Poole for their shopping. Travelcare UK had warned that owing to lack of contracts with County Council, the fee for using the buses would not only be increased by 5% from 1 st November but also the second Thursday bus would be at full fee instead of half. This will increase outgoings tremendously and fund raising would be started January 2008. Charity Status would be applied for and there were 4 people willing to be trustees. Travelcare UK has shown interest in tendering for the call centre if the service expanded. The other option would be to have 2 part time volunteers being paid for expenses. No interest had been shown by housing tenants in Lytchett Matravers when informally asked, they are happy to use the Upton Shopper to get to Tower Park. Purbeck Transport Action Group - 14.11.2007

Debbie Weller thanked those present and advised she would continue to help run the Home Hopper and send in progress reports if unable to attend. 07/110 FERRY ROAD PROJECT - Rachael Shefford had agreed earlier in the meeting to get an update for Peter Bowyer. 07/111 Mike Hadly advised the consultation on the Local Development Framework was closing in December and as it is a 20 year plan, it would be necessary to feed into it.
