The FCRA AGM Friday was held on 12 March
A successful Zoom meeting with 30 attendees saw rich discussion. While public meetings continue to be suspended, the committee still meets monthly and welcomes new members.
A parking working group has been set up and an environment working group is also being convened.
Planning & licensing groups
The planning amendment for the MCA site was rejected; demolition was scheduled for 23 March but may now be delayed. More details click here
Residents’ concerns over the extended beach huts have been noted. FCRA met with the Avon Beach Company and planning officers have visited the site.
The notices served about outdoor event licenses are a standardization of the old Christchurch Council licenses to BCP Council.
The Avon Beach Company has applied to extend its licence to outdoor provision of alcohol at the beach. The deadline to BCP for comment is 14 April.

COVID-19 guidance
Please stay safe and support your neighbours.
The current policy of staying safe at home and social distancing means that normal activities are suspended. Please stay in touch with your neighbours and let the Committee know of any concerns as needed. Why not set up a road email list with contact numbers and stay in touch with those who live alone? If you need help or support go to the BCP Council website whether to offer to volunteer or find information.
The latest FCRA Councillor report summarises BCP and Town Council activity.
There is a local Facebook Group for the wider area and also one through which we share FCRA minutes on FaceBook Group for the whole FCRA area sharing information and support.
Copy deadline for the next issue of the Forum is 21 January 2021 for publication on 15 February to Paul de Jonghe (ptdejonghe(a)hotmail.com)

Committee:
We currently require co-coordinators in the following voluntary roles:
- Forum Advertising
- Planning lead

ROAD WARDEN VACANCIES
The main role is to liaise with our vital network of road wardens to ensure that the Forum is distributed promptly and delivered to each house in our area two weeks before the quarterly meeting. On longer roads houses are grouped into approximately 50 houses. You don’t need to live on a road to be the warden.
Do you live in one of these roads?
