Saturday Bus Service

hello@broadwindsorgroup.gov.uk Uncategorised

Beaminster Town Council has been gifted a 16-seater bus from Dorset County Council and plans are being made to introduce a Saturday Bus Service, operating between Bridport and Crewkerne, stopping at Beaminster and a number of villages including Broadwindsor. It is hoped that the timetable can be arranged so that travellers can connect with the X51, X53, South West Coaches No.96 and train services at Crewkerne.

A first draft of a timetable has been produced and Beaminster Town Council want to hear from local communities to find out when they need to travel. Please do take a look at the draft and feedback your thoughts, concerns and suggestions so that a service that meets the real needs of local people can be developed.

 

BGPC To Consider Loan

hello@broadwindsorgroup.gov.uk Uncategorised

The Multi-Use Games Area project has already received £40,000 of funding from the Parish Council, West Dorset District Council, the FMR Trust and from the National Lottery Awards for All Programme – a really great achievement. Some of these grants are time limited and in order to take full advantage of this funding, the project must start during the Summer months. There is currently a shortfall of £20,000 and the Parish Council has carefully considered a number of different funding options.

The Parish Council would like to apply for a loan from the Public Works Loan Board, a body which provides funding for capital projects to parish councils and other public organisations. The loan will be paid back over a period of twenty years and will not affect the level of the Precept. The MUGA project and loan application will be discussed at the Parish Council Meeting on Monday 14 May at Comrades Hall. Please do come along and share your thoughts or get in touch directly.
