Due to problems with the mower this summer, the grass on the Hursey Common sports field is too long to be cut. In order to reduce the grass length sheep are currently grazing on the field and will stay there until it is eaten down in a few days. Apologies for any inconvenience, especially for dog walkers.

The Notice of Election for the Burstock ward vacancy has now been published.

The Parish Council is now inviting tenders to be submitted from competent persons for works to be carried out to restore fingerpost signs within the Grouped Parish area.

These signs are very much part of our cultural heritage, and the Council would like to see them remain. Dorset Council will no longer fund the restoration of fingerpost signs, costs must now be met by the Parish.

If you would like to submit a tender for this work, in the first instance please contact the Clerk to the Council to express your interest by 20 August 2021. This invitation to tender is subject to the Council’s Financial Regulations 2015.

Dorset Council has received an application for a Definitive Map Modification Order for the Broadwindsor Parish. The effect of the application, if successful, will be to alter Dorset Council’s record of public rights of way by adding a Byway Open to All Traffic along Common Water Lane from the end of the public road in Broadwindsor near Providence Farm to the public road east of the tunnel in the Beaminster Parish. The investigation into this application has not yet begun but in the meantime parishioners if they so wish, can submit any relevant evidence which will be included in the Council’s report. Evidence can be submitted to the Clerk or sent directly to Dorset Council.
