Support Your Surgery Campaign – Please Share

Launched by the British Medical Association (BMA), a petition calling on the UK Government to provide the urgent resourcing needed to increase the number of GPs in England.

GPs and their teams have faced an extremely challenging time during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions have meant that face-to-face contact with patients has been limited in order to keep practice staff and patients safe.

The Support Your Surgery campaign provides GP practices with the tools to both manage expectations and to provide patients with the reality of issues facing general practice.

With the number of GPs falling (due to lack of recruitment and retention) whilst the population rises, demands on GPs are higher than ever. There are millions of patients whose treatment has been delayed due to the pandemic, more tests to administer and additional bureaucracy. GP workload is becoming unmanageable.

GPs and their teams cannot meet this challenge without more support. In signing the petition, the BMA are calling on the UK Government to provide the funding and commitment needed to urgently increase the number of GPs, practice nurses and other practice staff and to improve the premises in which they work. This will help GP practices in England to meet the growing needs of people in our communities, providing the care we and our families need.

Please sign the petition HERE.

Thank you.

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.

Broadwindsor Fun Group’s A.G.M. – 2pm, Saturday 18th September

Dear Broadwindsor,

I write as the current chair of the Broadwindsor Fun Group to inform you that the Group’s AGM will be held in the Lewesden Room at Comrades Hall at 2pm on Saturday 18th September 2021. All are welcome and please spread the word, particularly to newer members of the community.

This meeting follows what I hope you will agree, was a successful and enjoyable fun event earlier this month. It was great to see so many people attending. Thank you for your support.

The AGM will include a short update on how the event went and some of the lessons learnt. This will include a financial statement.

Following this all of the positions on the committee will be open to anyone who wishes to stand. Please check with that person nominated that they are willing to stand before nominating them!

The committee will be seeking firm commitment from the community to support and carry out roles at future events. For example we need people to work on the bbq and bar at events. Indeed at this year’s event one person (who does it even live in the village) worked all day on the bbq, supported family members of a resident who also did not live in the area and another person who has only been in the village for a couple of years. This can’t be right.

There are many events being considered including a fireworks show in November. Sadly I will not be at this event but see it as a test whether the village will support and help.

As I say several events are now being considered but all of these need firm support by way of servers, cooks, setting up and clearing up etc. So do not be shy. There are many residents including some new arrivals and helping is a great way of integrating into the village.

I have been asked by numerous people whether I will seek re-election as Chair. This decision is not straight forward. I need to absent from the village several times in 2022. This year I have been supported by three others in the committee and if rumours are correct, at least two others have pledged support should I stay. I also need some reassurance that the village will get behind events and work at them as necessary. Should such reassurance be given I would not shy from election. That said if anyone else wants to step into the breech…

Finally following what has been a terrible couple of years, I am of the mind that Broadwindsor contains a great many community minded and hard working residents and it is on that basis that we can enjoy many events and activities in the future.

I hope to see you at the AGM.

Adrian
Chair BFG
