AFFPUDDLE AND TURNERSPUDDLE PARISH
COUNCIL

Parish Council
The Parish Council meeting on 14th October was once again held remotely in
order to comply with Government social distancing guidance. Until restrictions
around movement and public gatherings are lifted, the Parish Council will be
holding all meetings remotely.

Camping at Throop

The Parish Council discussed
concerns raised by residents
about the effect on the
parish of the campsite at
Throop Hollow Farm over the
summer. The main concerns
expressed focused on the size
of the campsite and the large
n u m b e r o f v e h i c l e
movements associated with so many visitors. Concern was also expressed about
noise. Councillors also considered a letter received from the owner of the site. All
correspondence received will be replied to. Councillors did have several
questions about the rules associated with a campsite and will be contacting
Dorset Council requesting information.

Traffic management

There are a number of locations within the Parish which cause safety concerns.
These have been discussed many times with the Highways Department at Dorset
Council without a satisfactory outcome. The Parish Council has decided to
discuss its preferred solutions to the identified issues at its next meeting. This is with
a view to creating Parish Council priorities and lobbying the Highways
Department.
