Shopping Permits Throughout The County?

You have until midnight on Saturday, December 5th to have your say on a new shoppers permit for Dorset.

Residents in the former West Dorset District Council area have been able to purchase shopping permits for several years. This took the form of a cardboard disk which is displayed in vehicle windscreens.  It currently allows 2 hours’ parking per day (or 3 hours if a disabled badge is also displayed), 7 days a week.

They want to know if this should be extended across the Dorset Council area, or if the permits should be withdrawn. The new proposed permit may be virtual where the registration number allows access for a set period in short stay car parks.

Let them know what you think while you still can!

Complete their 5 minute consultation HERE.

If a decision is made to stop the scheme, the Western Dorset permits will remain valid until their expiry date.

Broadwindsor Rainbows, Brownies and Guides

The group have spaces available from January 2021.
  • Rainbows age 5-7
  • Brownies age 7-10
  • Guides age 10-14
  • West Dorset Rangers age 14-18
Leader, Emma House had this update on what they have all been up to:
“We have been meeting via Zoom rather than doing what we do best but that’s not a bad thing! We have had so much fun! (There is a lot less clearing up for us leaders that’s for sure 😉).
We have been making indoor rockets, clay creatures, edible Houses of Parliament, completed Taskmaster challenges, chatted and laughed – laughed a lot!!
The laughing 😂 is what’s making the difference, everything is so strange for the children at the moment. The social life they are used to is hugely restricted so if we can as leaders continue to try and offer a piece of normality in the best way we can then we have done our job well.
The smiles say it all!” – Emma House.

Thursday 19th is International Men’s Day – in Movember

Observed by 44 countries, International Men’s Day has been celebrated on 19th November since 1992.
It gives the opportunity for people everywhere of goodwill to appreciate and celebrate the men in their lives and the contribution they make to society for the greater good of all.

The 2020 theme is “Better Health for Men and Boys” with the aim to make practical improvements to the health and wellbeing of the male population.  It is also a special time to make mention of the brave men who protect our communities in the defence force and emergency services such as: Police, Fire Fighters, Ambulance Officers and Hospital Emergency Departments.  Key people in Charities, Religion, Government, Business and Academia that help create a fair and safe society for others.

Sign up to receive their newsletter HERE.

Movember November is also the month of Movember! The leading charity changing the face of men’s health: addressing mental health and suicide issues, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
Movember first started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 when two friends (Travis Garone and Luke Slattery) talked 30 of  their friends into growing a ‘Mo’ (moustache). They had been inspired by a friend’s mother who was fundraising for breast cancer, they decided to make the campaign about men’s health and prostate cancer.
By 2007, the campaign had grown internationally including the UK campaign with The Prostate Cancer Charity. There are now official campaigns in 21 countries around the world.

Petition Against Extended Car Park Charges

Most will be aware that Dorset Council has a series of proposals to raise extra money from local car parks. This includes charging between 6pm and 8pm from Monday to Saturday and daytime on Sundays. The daily rate for some car parks, including those in Bridport and Lyme Regis, is proposed to double.

There are many who are concerned that these new charges will increase parking in nearby residential streets where parking is currently free.  There is an online petition calling on Dorset Council to withdraw their plans to extend these car parking charges.

The petition has been launched by the Liberal Democrat Party.  However, you are able to sign the petition and state whether or not you want to be updated by email about their campaigns.

Sign the petition HERE.
