Village Resident Has Dog Poo Bags Thrown In Garden

An anguished plea has come from village resident, Adrian Gray who resides at The Hayes, opposite Common Water Lane in Broadwindsor:
“Please can those who walk their dogs along the private track in front of my property at The Hayes please stop doing so.
I understand that the public path by the church is overgrown but since you have now taken to throwing your bagged up dog mess into my front garden, I really don’t think I should put up with your trespass anymore.”

PLEASE, PLEASE – BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER!

You can report dog fouling directly to the department at Dorset County Council online HERE.  A dog warden may then contact you and/or visit the area to assess how severe the problem is and take the appropriate action to deal with the problem.  However, local councillor David Leader has asked if you have any information on dog fouling to contact him on: 01308 868274 or 07867 608652.

Message from Western Power for residents of High Street, Broadwindsor

“We apologise that some customers in your area will have their power isolated from 18:30-19:30 this evening in order to carry out emergency works.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, Western Power Distribution”

 

2nd Round of Grant Applications Now Open for the Self Employed

The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) – the Government grant to self-employed individuals whose businesses have been adversely affected by coronavirus – is made up of two grants. The first grant closed on 13 July 2020, but the second and final grant opened for applications on 17 August 2020. The last date to apply is 19 October 2020.

You don’t need to have claimed the first grant to receive the second grant. And if you’ve claimed the first, you can claim the second as long as you’re still eligible.

The first grant is for those whose ‘business was impacted by Covid-19 before 13 July’, and the second is for those ‘impacted by Covid-19 on or after 14 July‘. If impacted before and after the dates, you are due both.

You need to apply via the official Government claims portal HERE. Not sure you’re eligible? The application will tell you if not.

To apply, or check, you need the following information:

  • Self-assessment unique taxpayer reference (UTR) – if you do not have this, find out how to get your lost UTR HERE.
  • National insurance (NI) number – if you do not have this, find out how to get your lost NI number HERE.
  • Government Gateway user ID and password – if you do not have a user ID, you can create one when you make your claim.
  • UK bank details (only provide bank account details where a Bacs payment can be accepted) including the: bank account number, sort code, name on the account, address linked to your bank account. IMPORTANT: You must make the claim yourself. Your tax agent or financial adviser must not claim on your behalf as this will trigger a fraud alert.

Not all self-employed people can access this help – for example, if you earn more than £50,000 a year, or if less than half of your income is from self-employment. If you don’t meet the eligibility requirements, unfortunately you won’t be able to claim, but there are other things you can try:
The Government small business bounce back loans can be used to SUPPORT YOUR INCOME, including for those with no other support (eg, newly self-employed, limited company directors). Since Monday 4 May, the new 100% state-backed bounce back loans, for up to £50,000, have been available. They’re interest-free and payment-free in the first year – so pay it off then and it’s no cost, and at a very low 2.5% annual interest after that.

Get Your Ideas Included in the Government’s Transport Decarbonisation Plan

The Government is running a public consultation, which is actually a fairly short and friendly questionnaire. No expert knowledge is needed, and you’re not expected to write an essay – the spaces for answers are just few lines long, though they can expand if you have more to say.
The closing date to have your say is Monday, 31st August 2020. Your views will assist in drafting the plan, and deciding on the steps the Government take to decarbonise transport.

The current policies to decarbonise transport don’t go far enough.  Specifically, electric cars – while important – aren’t a silver bullet: we also need to be making fewer journeys by car and more by public transport, on foot and by bike.
At Campaign for Better Transport, they hope that as many people as possible will take this opportunity to speak up for sustainable transport. To show how much we care about buses, trains and trams, walking and cycling, car-sharing and zero-emission vehicles.   You can also remind the Government too that sometimes we’d like to travel less!  You can suggest whatever you want.

Take the Government survey HERE.

Carbon Footprint

Please confirm to Campaign For Better Transport that you have completed the survey HERE.
