Balance to reserves for future planned projects including the new community hall
20,765.16
We are fortunate in Bere Regis to have the services of a Lengthsman and I am
sure most of you know Tony King and the work he does for the parish. His role is
wide ranging – from keeping the cemetery neat and tidy, repairing the finger
posts, keeping rights of way passable, cutting the grass on Souls Moor and the
verges around the village to picking up litter and clearing dog poo. Sadly, he
spends far too much time on the latter two items, and we would ask all parish
residents to please keep this in mind and take your litter home and clear up after
your dog. That way, Tony can spend more time keeping our parish up to the
standard we have all become accustomed.

Overall, the parish is in a financially healthy position and this will enable us to
move forward with projects such as the new community hall.
Perhaps this is also a good time to remind all of you who are involved in running
parish groups that we do have a small amount of money set aside each year for
grants. If you have a project that you would like the Parish Council to support, we
are able to offer grants of up to £500. So please do submit your application. Full
details are available on the Parish Council website.
