New Councillor
We were delighted to welcome Moira Mathers to fill the vacant councillor’s
position and look forward to her input at future meetings. We also welcomed Amy
Yeats who was invited to chair a division of the Environment Group Working Party
focusing on the conservation areas around the village, and work closely with the
Parish Council.

Slip Road Fix
Thanks to the application of considerable pressure from the Parish Council,
Councillor Wharf and residents through the Dorset For You platform, we were
pleased that the Highways Agency recently carried out a temporary fix on the slip
road going out of the Village to the Puddletown Bypass, ahead of planned
resurfacing there in the Autumn. Problems on our roads and rights of way can be
reported online at: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/roads-highways-

Volunteer work party for the play park

We will be holding a volunteer work party in the play park on Saturday 22

repairs and improvements carried out. If you wish to be involved with this, and

hopefully further improvement work around the village, please contact Robin
