COVID Vaccine Availability

Mike Hewitson from Beaminster pharmacy has just released the following information:

“I have just uploaded another 500 appointments for an additional clinic next Thursday. You can book these via 119 or nhs.uk website.

Our team of vaccinators and volunteers are giving up their precious time before Christmas so that you can enjoy yours, I respectfully ask that if you book one of these appointments you don’t try and get a walk-in vaccination elsewhere. We saw approximately 60 of today’s appointments didn’t turn up (which allowed us to provide some walk-in availability).

Thanks,

Mike & Team”

Thank you & your marvellous team Mike!

Covid Booster Clinic At Beaminster Public Hall – Saturday, 13th November

There will be an extra Covid Booster Clinic in Beaminster Public Hall on Saturday, 13th November. 12.30pm – 5pm.

This will be a walk in clinic only, no appointments necessary. You just need to:

have had your 2nd dose at least 6 months ago
be aged 50 and over. be aged 16 and over with a health condition that puts you at high risk from COVID-19 and the NHS has invited you to book
be a frontline health or social care worker

Please note, this is at the Public Hall and not Barton House surgery.

We will take as many patients as capacity and vaccine availability allow, but I need people to be patient. You will need to wait, and potentially to be prepared to come back on a different day if necessary. My team have kindly agreed to give up their Saturday to try and help get people their jab, and we will try our best to help you but we can’t vaccinate West Dorset in one day! Please be patient and respectful, or we will have to revert to booked appointments only in future.

One final point, please don’t turn up to the Town Hall on a day when we are not operating as the Town Council will not be able to help you!

6/6A Bus Timetable Now Gets Yeovil Students Home

Parish Councillor, Jacqui Sewell has continued to campaign and lobby for rural transport ever since she was an elected West Dorset Council member and was WDDC’s representative on WATAG (West Dorset Western Area Transport Action Group).
Today, still with WATAG, she was pleased to see that, at last – “the No. 6A bus WILL pick up the students from Yeovil College at 16.45pm for homeward travel to Broadwindsor – now to get Dorset Council to get Rural Access to Public Transport.”
Children from Broadwindsor will still have to travel to Beaminster in the morning.

Beaminster Tunnel Closed 8am -5pm – Thursday, 26th August

Beaminster Tunnel (A3066) will be closed for works tomorrow, to enable Upton Tree Services Ltd safe access to carry out urgent tree works on behalf of Dorset Council to remove a dead tree.

Tunnel Road will be closed at both entrances to the tunnel from 8am until 5pm. There is a 43 mile diversion route which will be signposted in both Dorset and Somerset: A3066 – A356 – A37 – A35 – A30. It is estimated the diversion journey will take just over 70 minutes.

The reason for the length of the diversion is because the closure is on an A-road and therefore any official alternative route must use the same class of road.

Locals will be aware that there are a number of shorter, unofficial routes that can be taken to avoid the road closure. Please note: these are not suitable for HGVs and should be avoided if using larger machinery or towing caravans. Drive safe!

The road closure notice will remain in force for five days, but it is anticipated that the works will be completed on the day.

For further information about the work being undertaken, call:
Upton Tree Services Ltd on 07384548283.
To discuss this Notice, call:
Dorset Highways Traffic Team on 01305 221020 or email trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk.
Anyone with any concerns or wish to discuss any issues regarding the roadworks can contact Dorset Council HERE.
