and hear how the shop and PO fared last year and give us your ideas about what
we might do next. There will be drinks and nibbles as usual after the meeting.
We hope to see you in the shop and PO soon. Come and see what we have to
offer and you might well save yourself a trip into town! If we don’t have what you
want, let us know either in the shop or by e-mail briantspuddle.shop@gmail.com
and we will see if we can sort something out.

As ever, we could always do with an extra pair of hands to help with the many
different tasks that are necessary to keep the shop and PO providing a service to
the community. It doesn’t have to be serving behind the counter – we need help
in collecting supplies and with some admin work. So if you can spare a little time
please let someone in the shop know or e-mail briantspuddle.shop@gmail.com.
Thank you again to all our volunteers and customers and have a Happy Easter.

Parish Litter Pick – 11th & 12th March 2023

Thank you to a small but enthusiastic group of volunteers who showed up over the
weekend to clean up the Parish.
As always, the trailer was full to the brim with bags full of rubbish. The main

such heavy items deposited that Dorset Council has been contacted with a
request to remove it. This development amounted to fly-tipping.

Whilst the litter pick is an annual event, Parish Councillors are very aware of the
efforts during the year of Parishioners who collect litter whilst out walking. So,
thank you to everyone who offers their time and effort to keep our Parish an
incredibly special place to call home.

Stuart Chorley – Parish Councillor Resignation

fellow Parish Councillor. As many of your may know Stuart has been suffering for
some time with ill health and the time has now come for him to concentrate on
his own well-being.
Over his years of service, Stuart has made a major contribution across the Parish,
