Great Turnout for Hursey Common Work Party

A very big thank you to the 30 or so people, young and old who gave up their Sunday morning to help at the work party at Hursey Common. It was a fantastic team effort and among the tasks completed was the building of a replacement foot bridge over the stream –  the original had rotted away, the hanging of two gates at the entrance to the sports field, scrub cleared from the wild flower meadow, the repair of the fencing at the sports field with posts kindly donated by Rob Hedditch and  the clearing of scrub from the sports field fence. We have been asked where the excellent bacon and sausages came from, they came from our very own excellent Village Shop.

Crossbow on Hursey Common

hello@broadwindsorgroup.gov.uk Uncategorised

The Parish Council has been informed that crossbow bolts have been found on Hursey Common. Given that the Common is a well-used public space, this is not a suitable place for this type of activity and as such poses the risk of serious injury. Crossbows are not permitted under the Wildlife and Countryside Act to kill animals and they are considered an offensive weapon if they are used in a public place without reasonable excuse. Dorset Police have been contacted about this matter and have advised that if anyone witnesses a crossbow being fired in a public place, to contact them immediately on 999. The Parish Council urges users of the Common to be vigilant at this time.
