Podcasts about Gillingham

In November 1991, the Kent town of Gillingham was shaken by the senseless murder of 18-year-old Lara Perrill.Lara was a much-loved daughter, sister, niece, and grandchild. She was just beginning her adult life, spending time with friends and making plans for the future. Her warmth and youth made what happened to her all the more devastating.When Lara failed to make it home after a night out, the search to find her ended in tragedy. As detectives pieced together the events of that night, they soon found themselves dealing with a man whose history of violence and suppressed rage had gone unchecked for years. The question became not just how he could have committed such an act, but whether anything might have stopped him sooner.Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, exclusive episodes and content, exciting giveaways, and welcome goodies!

Carrying on our tradition of covering civic elections, Episode 40 is an interview with Abel Gutierrez, one of the hopefuls looking to succeed the late Jason Schreyer as the representative of Elmwood- East Kildonan.4.40 Part 2- Born in northeastern Mexico, Abel Gutierrezcame to Canada when he was 3 years old and grew up in North Kildonan. As an adult he chose to raise a family in Elmwood and build a career as a construction project manager. He says he's running to show “my deep appreciation for the working class families in this ward,” many of whom he's met through his volunteering with the East Side Eagles football club.  Included in his resume is a brief time working for the City Of Winnipeg with the traffic signals control centre project. “There is definitely some things to overcome when itcomes to our city services,” such as road construction contracts, says Gutierrez. “If we're not taking opportunities on the weekends we need to do something about that,” suggesting evening shifts instead of work sites becoming “ghost towns.”16.20- Getting the Louise Bridge reopened is a priorityfor Gutierrez. “That artery is crucial especially when it comes to emergency services,” he says, and he disagrees with Mayor Gillingham spending tax dollars on reopening Portage and Main to pedestrians this year instead of maintaining the bridge. 23.15 Part 3- While door-knocking so far, Gutierrez has heard from residents who worry about vacant and derelict commercial buildings and homes. His solution: “why don't' we just knock them down? Anempty lot looks better than a derelict building there.” He believes rehabilitating those buildings would be too costly and that developers would “love to have one of those lots and turn it into something beautiful.”29.00 - Regarding the veteran's housing provided on Talbot Avenue at Legion Gardens, Gutierrez tells how he lives close by but “was unaware of the crisis that they've faced” with repair and maintenance costs- including expensive city water and waste requirements.“When it comes to a veterans housing program running outof a lower income constituency, we need to work with those organizations. That's it, bottom line.”34.00 - Elmwood has problems caused by crime and homeless encampments that isn't well publicized - and Gutierrez says Coun. Jeff Browaty has the right idea about removing encampments from major routes. Having grown up in Manitoba Housing, he was shocked to learn that some of the criminals stay in encampments actually have subsidized housing units. He says that's denying honest families their chance at a step up. 41.05- Gutierrez does not support the exclusive contract the Gillingham administration awarded to Main Street Project for mobile services to deal with the homeless. "I think we need to diversify our approach in this... I don't know when the last time you had a chance to drive by the Main Street Project, but it's not good. If that's what we're funding, I have to avoid that area when I bring a client to the city." “I don't like the image we portray as a gritty city,” Gutierrez asserts. “We need to take pride. We need to clean up our back yard.”  He believes his workaholic nature will enhance hisability to work with the community, and if elected on October 25th, “I'm gonna roll up my sleeves for you at City Hall.” 50.05 Part 4- Marty Gold wraps up the episode with a pitch to support the Season Six funding drive, now at $2650.

In Episode 37 we tell about a letter of condemnation sent to Mayor Scott Gillingham, Premier Wab Kinew, all of city council and other public officials by a homeowner in North Point Douglas .He was trying to enjoy his Saturday morning coffee and read a book in his yard in peace. It was "abruptly shattered by agroup of unhoused individuals down on the riverbank - hooting, yelling, hurling expletives and epithets." Before long an ambulance and fire truck arrived- yet again- to the riverbank. Meanwhile the neighborhood homeless encampments were buzzing with illegal activity. “And so begins another typical day in North Point Douglas.”Part 1- To provide context to the letter from Howard Warren, we start with the list he attached of the awful incidents he's encountered in the last few years. The already-struggling neighborhood was failed by government policies and is now overrun with criminals and individuals with profound mental illness. Listen to his experience with robberies, break-ins, assaults, filth, fires, finding a dead body - and worst of all, his dealings with a dysfunctional 911 and police service.13.13 Part 2 - According to Mr. Warren, he previously "reached out in states of deep frustration over what's happening in North Point Douglas" to Mayor Gillingham, "but I did not even receive a basic acknowledgment. That silence is its own message. "Among the points he makes:"Despite years of visible decline, governments of all levels, parties, and ideologies have failed to act in any meaningful way. The very institutions that are supposed to safeguard public welfare and uphold the rule of law have left us feeling trapped and betrayed.""I represent a wide cross-section of Point Douglasresidents, and countless others across Winnipeg, when I say: we are desperate. For the past six years, we have felt abandoned. Unheard. Marginalized. Misunderstood.Demoralized.""We no longer consider inviting people over to sit in our yard. Why would we? There's every chance that the gathering will be disrupted, hijacked, really, by shouting, swearing, fighting, environmental destruction, fires or worse. That medley of chaos too often crashes through what should be moments of joy, peace and calm.""We're the ones who have nothing left to lose but our silence. And so, we fight, speak out, and use whatever means we can to shine a light on what's happening here; the injustice and indignity suffered by both the housed and unhoused. I say this with no exaggeration: we are in a crisis."22.40- "I have several questions for you, Mr. Mayor. Let me start with one I know you've heard before."We read off the questions Howard Warren posedfor Mayor Gillingham. He started with why St. Boniface Street Links was "cut off from municipal funding" in favour of Main Street Project. You'll hear his criticism of MSP's "human rights based" approach to the homeless, "a model which seems to entrench dysfunction, despair and social mayhem."Other Notable Quotes:- “Why are families like ours and our neighbours' expected to endure the daily trauma of watching people destroy themselves in front of our homes, in front of our children, asthe very systems that were meant to protect us slowly collapse around us?” - “The rights of one group should not eclipse the rights of another, especially not when those being drowned out are the very people trying to hold their communities together…we are being dismissed, neglected, and treated as expendable.” - “We need an end to policies that normalize decay, danger, and disorder. And we need city and provincial leadership to stop pretending this is okay. We need all of this now.”******Online today, in print tomorrow in the Winnipeg Sun - Restaurants pushed to the brink by theft, vandalism, City Works and City cops   ⁠https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-winnipeg-restaurants-battered-by-crime-costs-and-silence******* Support the Season Six funding campaign via https://actionline.ca/2024/02/donate-2/
