Some interesting feedback from the weekend's influx of visitors to places like Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Residents have been concerned about the lifting of restrictions following the invasion last year. Unfortunately, it appears that some people just do not know how to behave, thinking they can defecate where they want and drop rubbish at will. How one can tackle this small minority is anyone's guess. We've had the green light to campaign from 8 March. The rules are quite tight until 29 March, when groups of six can meet outside. I have contacted Dorset Council's electoral services to ensure that our instructions and their understanding of them are the same. In S Dorset we have two town council by-elections and, county-wide, there's the PCC election, with Martyn Underhill standing down. Dorset Council elections are set for 2024. It'll be nice to get out and meet constituents. With the Budget on Wednesday, struggling businesses nervously wait for the Chancellor's statement. Of course, there are many others on benefits through no fault of their own, and we must continue to support them until the economy picks up and unemployment drops. More good news on the vaccine front, with analysis showing that a single shot of either the Oxford-AstraZeneca or the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid jab reduces the chance of needing hospital treatment by more than 80 per cent. The Public Health England data showed the effect kicked in three to four weeks after vaccination. It was based on people aged over 80 who were the first to receive the jab. Government scientists hailed the result, but stressed that two doses were needed for the best protection. Meanwhile, officials are hunting for a person in England who has been infected with a concerning variant of the virus which causes Covid-19 first found in Brazil. They are one of six cases of the P1 variant found in the UK in February. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said there was "no evidence" the infected person had not followed home quarantine rules. Abroad, we have cut aid to Yemen, which has been devastated by conflict for six years. The Government said it would provide "at least" £87 million ($120 million) this year, down from £214 million last year. News that the Duke of Edinburgh has been transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital for continued treatment, after 13 nights at another London hospital, is unsettling. Doctors are treating the Duke, who is 99, for an infection. Buckingham Palace said they would also undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition. My best wishes to a remarkable man, who, along with the Queen, is held with deep affection.
