Members of Public are welcome to attend any of our Meetings and ask questions during the Public Open Session which is held before the Parish Council Meeting commences.
The Parish Council will be able to take up any issues for discussion at the usual Parish Council Meetings, which are of course open to members of public and the press. The Annual Meeting is normally held between March and June.
Concern about the cutting back of the recreation ground hedge part of the medium-term plan below has been raised on Facebook, this report is to clarify issues raised and provide details on what is taking place. Please note every Parish Councillor is a volunteer, voted in by the community. The recreation ground hedges have not been managed for over 25 years, this is due to the fact that ownership was not clear, as part of the Recreation Ground review ownership was identified and is the responsibility of the Parish Council.
The whole Parish Council met at the Recreation Ground earlier this year to discuss upkeep and maintenance of the ground and facilities which is owned by the Parish. This included buildings, boundaries, and the ground maintenance. The outcome of this was a short, medium and long term plan being agreed and minuted. The following is an extract from the minutes which are available from the Parish Office on request.
The new hedge along Saddlers boundary needs regular watering — the Bowls Club have an outside tap to provide a possible solution. Cllr D Adams agreed responsibility to mow the L shape grassed area whilst maintaining a pathway for school pick up. Members agreed for the Pitch Groundsman to continue to mow the cricket outfield. The planting of a hedge behind the green container — continuation of hedge to tidy up the corner of the cricket boundary. It is very difficult to find suitably qualified contractors at this time of year and there is limited time for this work to be conducted and allow time for the remaining work in time for spring growth.
The state of the hedgerow, habitation, fruit etc was also made, normally at this time of year frost have set in and fruit has been eaten by the wildlife. Whilst the season is mild at the moment it was deemed suitable to complete the work as there were fruit available in the remaining hedgerow and no evident nesting.
An opportunity to gain someone was identified earlier this month and so a meeting with the contractor was held at the start of this week. The following was discussed:. We looked at the first m from the playground down towards the pavilion up to the point where the grass becomes the arable field.
This would involve cutting the hedge down close to the ground, removing most of the brush with some being replaced to protect the stumps and any new hedge plants as and when these are planted. The contractor was only available this week and so with agreement with the Parish Council the work was initiated. Let's keep active outside everyday.

The OS Games team went to check it out. English Heritage protects and preserves some amazing historical buildings across the country.

We skirted the town and turned south-east past Melbury Down , then climbed again, up Zig-Zag hill, a series of dramatic hairpin bends of alpine severity that take you up briefly into Wiltshire and to one of those high spaces where the extent of rounded slopes and hollows stretching away on either side gives you the sense of being on top of the world.
Soon the road dropped down again to reach a picturesque thatched house, buildings of banded brick and flint, and a sudden high, wooded ridge. This was Tollard Royal in Cranborne Chase. The next place was Sixpenny Handley, which was hastily rebuilt in after its destruction by fire in the dry spring of that year.
Two years later, Sir Frederick Treves advised the traveller attracted by the singular name on a signpost to "resist such attraction". But we had come upon a view that belied his advice.
