thedailyecho--2020-05-10--"It is appalling": Unity hits out at vandals after spate of attacks in Romsey

A CHARITY has been forced to fork out thousands of pounds in repairs following a spate of attacks on their fleet of vehicles .
Unity , based in Romsey Town Football Club , Bypass Road , have spent £4,000 repairing buses and cars designed to help more than 100 elderly and disabled people get to medical appointments in the borough .
The attacks have forced seven out of their 13 vehicles to be taken off the road .
Now the chief executive of Unity , Terry Bishop , has hit out at vandals after a front wheel was stolen from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack in ten months .
Ms Bishop said : “ Since we put the vehicles for the community transport service at the Romsey football club we have had catalytic converters stolen , two smashed bus windows with the last one being damaged on March 3 .
“ We can not get any glass for one bus , so it is still sitting in the garage in Andover waiting to be repaired.
” She added : “ It is appalling because you do not expect that to happen in Romsey or where vehicles have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side of them .
“ One of the catalytic converters that was stolen cost us £900 to repair and we also had to order a replacement window from France , because you can not buy the glass over the counter ; that took two weeks to fix .
“ We can not keep repairing these things and our insurance has gone through the roof because of it.
” Unity transport manager , Karen Wood , said : “ We are extremely saddened that another act of vandalism has taken place .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ catalytic converters being stolen within the last two years .
“ As a charity , these careless acts have not only had a financial effect , but also a detrimental effect to be able to provide community transport in the local area to elderly and vulnerable people who need to access essential shopping , medical appointments or groups .
“ We arrive to find the vehicles unable to use , meaning our passengers miss their support group , appointment or weekly shopping trip.
” She added : “ With the kindness being shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , stealing from a charity and from those really in need of this type of service is truly unthinkable .
“ This will also have a major impact on the charity itself in lost business not to mention those who rely so heavily on the community bus service.
” When asked what the charity will do to protect their vehicles in the future , a spokesperson said : “ We now have volunteers who are regularly checking on the vehicles and are in discussion with Romsey Town Football Club to discuss future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wheel stolen from one of their vehicles on January 28 , while one of their windows was smashed on November 27 2019 .

People will be allowed to sit in the sun in their local parks , but you must only do so with members of your own household and remain socially distanced from others .
- Can I drive elsewhere to enjoy the outdoors ?
Yes , you can drive to other destinations but only with members of your own household .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ limited to doing so only with members of your own household .

Anyone who can not work from home , perhaps those in construction and manufacturing `` should be actively encouraged to go to work '' from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Johnson will set out how workplaces can become `` Covid-secure '' by following new guidance for employers .
Mr Johnson advised people to avoid public transport `` if at all possible because we must and will maintain social distancing , and capacity will therefore be limited '' .

But what is in his plan for the next phase of the coronavirus fight and how might it affect people's lives?
- Firstly, does his plan apply to the whole of the UK?
No. Devolved governments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have power to make their own decisions on a number of matters, including health, and some have already done so.
Wales announced a slight easing on Friday allowing people to exercise more than once a day, garden centres reopening with social distancing guidelines and local authorities starting planning on how to safely open libraries and recycling centres.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Sunday that the cap on daily exercise has been scrapped, but she warned that that is not an excuse to meet up in groups at parks or beaches, to sunbathe or have picnics and barbecues.
Northern Ireland's road map, which is expected to only have "nuanced" changes, will be announced this week.
- OK, so if I'm in England then - am I still limited to how much I can exercise outdoors each day?
Not anymore. From Wednesday people will be encouraged to take more outdoor exercise - even an unlimited amount.
- Can I sunbathe?
Yes. People will be allowed to sit in the sun in their local parks, but you must only do so with members of your own household and remain socially distanced from others.
- Can I drive elsewhere to enjoy the outdoors?
Yes, you can drive to other destinations but only with members of your own household.
- When I'm outdoors can I play sports?
Yes, but again this must be limited to doing so only with members of your own household.
- What if I don't obey the social distancing rules?
You could be fined, and the financial penalties will be increased in order to enforce the social distancing rules.
- Can I return to work?
You should continue to work from home if you can, but if that's not possible you should go to work.
Anyone who cannot work from home, perhaps those in construction and manufacturing "should be actively encouraged to go to work" from Monday, the PM said.
Mr Johnson will set out how workplaces can become "Covid-secure" by following new guidance for employers.
- Can I use public transport?
Mr Johnson advised people to avoid public transport "if at all possible because we must and will maintain social distancing, and capacity will therefore be limited".
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said on Saturday that even with England's public transport network running at full capacity it could only safely cater for 10% of the usual passenger load with the two-metre social distancing rule in place.

He was subsequently released from hospital and following the death of Mrs Parry, he was further arrested on suspicion of murder. Yesterday, Brehmer, who is currently seconded to the National Police Air Service, has been charged with murder.
He is due to appear at Poole Magistrates' Court via remote link on Tuesday, May 12.
Brehmer was presented with an award after rescuing a family from a fire in Christchurch in 2011.
Based in Ferndown at the time, he and a colleague broke down the front door of a property in Mill Road to save the lives of a family and their three cats.
The traffic officers had been driving past as part of their rounds when they spotted smoke coming from a utility room at the rear of the property
At the time, Brehmer said: “We are very glad that we could be of help but we were just doing our job.”
Dorset Fire and Rescue Service said the incident would have been fatal without them, because the Diffey’s smoke alarms were not working.
Following the death of Mrs Parry, a Dorset Police spokeswoman said: “Brehmer was not on duty at the time of the incident. However, due to his occupation and the seriousness of the charge, a referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).”
The spokeswoman added that the pair were known to each other.

Assistant Chief Constable Mark Callaghan said: "Detectives from our Major Crime Investigation Team are leading the investigation into this incident.
“We have kept the family of Mrs Parry updated throughout the investigation and family liaison officers continue to support them. Our thoughts remain with her family and friends at this very difficult time.
“Following enquiries into this incident, we have consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service, which has authorised a charge of murder.
“It is important to stress that it would be entirely inappropriate for Dorset Police to comment any further ahead of the court process. It is vital that the justice system is allowed to follow its course.
“I would also like to remind the public that this matter is now the subject of active court proceedings and the individual charged in connection with this investigation has a right to a fair trial. It is important that there should be no commentary or sharing of information online or on social media that could potentially prejudice these proceedings.”
