Play Park
The Play Park is now open, and
reinforced feet are being fitted to
some of the equipment to prolong
their life. We will be placing a rake
and a brush in a container on site and would ask any parents who are willing, to
take a few minutes to pick up any litter, brush any displaced rubber chippings off
the paths, and to rake flat the chippings. A councillor and the Lengthsman have
recently attended a Play Park Inspection Course, to enable us to continue to run
the park safely and in compliance with the regulations. We hope everyone enjoys
the area responsibly and, as always, if anyone spots any faults please contact the
Clerk.

Lengthsman’s Duties
The Lengthsman is paid out of the Parish precept to which we all contribute
through our Council Tax. You may be interested to know how his time was
allocated in the last month or so:
 36% Tree work and grass cutting in the Elder Road area
 28% Cemetery grass cutting and maintenance
 18% Maintenance of rights of way

 7% Play Park work
 10 % Other work including, Car Park, Verges, Rubbish Collection and
dealing with Fly Tipping

Tree Planting

Dorset Trees have agreed to assist with the planting of 20 or 30 trees in the “no-
man’s land” area near the school gates. These will be native, broad leaf trees,
which will transform a rather derelict piece of land into an attractive copse over
time.
