Conor Burns speaks in support of Bournemouth tourism at BAHA lunch Conor gives the BAHA post-lunch speech. On Wednesday 11th November, Bournemouth West MP Conor Burns was pleased to attend a lunch hosted by the Bournemouth Accommodation & Hotel Association (BAHA) at the Escoffier Restaurant, Bournemouth & Poole College. Following a lunch prepared by students at the college Conor was honoured to have the opportunity to address the Association, which represents hotels and accommodation providers across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The lunch provided a forum to discuss ways in which organisations across the conurbation can work together to support the tourism industry that contributes so much to the area. Recent statistics collated by the National Coastal Tourism Academy show that tourism in Bournemouth is worth around £501 million to the local economy, and supports over 12,000 jobs. 68 per cent of visitors stay in hotels, guest houses and B&Bs, so the businesses that BAHA represents have an important role to play in welcoming visitors to the town and ensuring that their experience of the town is positive. After the lunch Conor said, “Given the important work that they do in representing the local hospitality industry I was delighted to be invited to speak to BAHA at their annual lunch. The hospitality industry plays a vital role in Bournemouth’s tourism economy, supporting hundreds of jobs, welcoming visitors from around the United Kingdom and the world, and ensuring they experience the best of what we as a town have to offer.” Conor with an attendee before lunch with Bournemouth Accommodation and Hotel Association.

Conor in the papers: “Halfway there: Bournemouth's £50 million West Central cinema scheme takes shape” Daren Slade, Bournemouth Echo Monday 16th November 2015 Conor with Chris Dymond, director of Lycet and Andrew Ferguson, Fund Manager at Legal and General. The £50 million cinema and leisure scheme planned for Bournemouth’s former bus station site in Exeter Road is now half finished. Bournemouth West MP Conor Burns toured the West Central site, where the first restaurants are due to open in October next year and the Odeon cinema in early 2017. The arrival of the 10-screen Odeon will mean the closure of the town’s existing Odeon and ABC cinemas in Westover Road, which have recently been sold. The leisure complex is being built for developer Licet and Legal & General, with tenants already lined up including Nandos, Handmade Burger, Coast to Coast, Prezzo, Ask Italian and TGI Fridays. Andrew Ferguson, fund manager for Legal & General, said there was a lot of interest in the scheme. “It’s probably the largest leisure development in the market for 10 years – certainly one of the most talked about,” he said. The future of the Exeter Road site has been in the balance since fire wrecked the town’s bus station in 1976. The station was finally demolished in 1982 and the site was used as a car park for many years. Conor Burns said: “It’s a great delight to finally see something happening here after a long transit. “You can see in embryo what’s going to be here, with plenty of restaurants that are going to offer all sorts of dining styles and a large number of cinema screens in one place.” He pointed out that the scheme was one of several high-profile town centre developments, including the Hilton Hotel due to open next month. “If you judge a town’s vibrancy and confidence in its future by the number of cranes and the investment in new development, then you can clearly be reasonably confident in Bournemouth’s future,” he added. Licet director Chris Dymond said: “It’s been a lot of effort by a lot of people to get here. We were always very keen that it was the right place for this project to happen. “It had its trials and tribulations but it’s almost exactly at the half way stage.” Rod Nutbourne, project manager for Vinci Construction, revealed that 50,000 tonnes of foundations from the bus station had been crushed and re-used on the project.

The reason we're all here today is all to do with your bravery. That was the message to four courageous war veterans who were handed the highest French decoration, the Legion d'Honneur, at a special ceremony at Bournemouth Town Hall yesterday (FRI). Mayor, Cllr John Adams, welcomed Stan Hartill, Eldon 'Bob' Roberts, Les Kerswill and Ted Young, and their friends and family, to formally hand them their awards. The four ex-servicemen, who between them have 375 years, stood proudly thanking Cllr Adams and Conor Burns MP for arranging the gathering, as they each told their tales. Mr Hartill, formerly of RAF Servicing Commando, said: "When I joined the RAF in February 1940 things were very different and I never thought for a moment one day I'd be in the mayor's parlour receiving the Legion d'Honneur. "Thank you everyone for coming along." Mr Kerswill, who served at Dunkirk, said he still has the boots he marched 1,300 miles in from Russian lines. "They have been preserved in my family. I walked 1,300 miles but it didn't seem like it. It wasn't as cold as you might think," he said. Mr Roberts, originally from Canada, was one of the first troops to set foot on the Normandy beaches, and fought across France, Belgium and Holland. He was the second Canadian soldier ashore on D-Day.

One of my proudest achievements here has been the LGBT+ Conservatives Candidates’ Fund, which has supported so many people into parliament and raised tens of thousands of pounds. As the fund matures it is moving into a new governance structure, and I hope to play a role in that future. I am thrilled to be succeeded by Elena Bunbury. I know that she will bring new energy to the organisation, and I hope it will continue to thrive under her leadership. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey. In particular Emma Warman, Matthew Green and John Cope who have provided wise counsel as Deputy Chairman. To Sean Anstee who has transformed the finances of the organisation.

  • Revolt of the Rustbelt
    tom hazeldine REVOLT OF THE RUSTBELT n the space of less than a year, the established political order of Ukania has received two successive, jolting blows—a referendum in which a population voted, against the express will of the leadership of all three major parties and an overwhelming major- Iity of the country’s parliament, to leave the European Union; followed by an election in which a 20 per cent lead in opinion polls for the sitting government vanished overnight, and the most radical opposition pro- gramme since Thatcherism, presented by the most vilified leader in the history of the country’s media, came close enough to victory to generate a hung parliament—one now confronted with fraught negotiations over the terms of departure from the eu. The dismay of bourgeois opinion at the plight of the state is the best register of the effect of the two temblors. ‘Chronic instability’, lamented the Economist, ‘has taken hold of British politics’, and it ‘will be hard to suppress’. Readers had to ask themselves: ‘What can come of this chaos?’1 The answer from the Financial Times was grimly tight-lipped: ‘The stablest of democracies has become the western world’s box of surprises.’2 To understand the dynamics that have produced this situation, the starting -point has to be a closer analysis of the pattern of Brexit. Like any popular poll, the 23 June 2016 referendum can be broken down in a variety of ways. But as the dust has started to settle, some facts stand out. Nationalist dynamics produced wins for Remain in Scotland and Northern Ireland, while Wales’s 80,000 net votes for Leave amounted to only 6 per cent of Brexit’s winning margin.
