Neighbourhood Policing – Tuesday, 9th August

Social media increasingly reports on antisocial behaviour and rural crime.  What can we do?
  • 1. Don’t ignore it, it won’t go away.
  • 2. Make an immediate note of what you have seen, especially anything which could make people or vehicles identifiable. Most people have cameras in their pockets now, take photos if you’re safe to do so.
  • 3. If there is a crime in progress, contact the police immediately.
  • 4. Make Dorset Police aware of concerns and issues. An ideal opportunity is at the Neighbourhood Policing Team sessions. Turn up, tell them, ask what they can do.
  • 5. The next session covering our area is at Broadwindsor Comrades Hall: Tuesday, 9th August 2022 at 11:00 am – 11:30 am.
What do you think their priorities should be? Complete their survey HERE.

40°C Expected – Post Office Open Today – Closed Friday

The Post Office will be open this morning (Tuesday) until 12 noon at the Comrades Hall. It will be closed on Friday, 22nd as post master, Peter has contracted Covid.  We very much appreciate the services they provide and wish Peter a speedy recovery.

Until this week, the highest temperature in the UK recorded was 38.7°C, in Cambridge in July 2019.

A high of 38.1°C was recorded in Suffolk yesterday.  The U.K. is bracing itself for higher temperatures today.  To keep cool and avoid heat exhaustion and/or heatstroke, please read the following advice:

  • Drink water.
  • Eat foods with a high water content
  • Wear loose clothing, breathable fabrics
  • Wear a hat
  • Stay in the shade where possible.
  • Limit your travel & exercise
  • Use fans, ice packs to cool down.
  • Take lukewarm, not cold showers.
  • Put nightwear in the fridge

The NHS recommends keeping all babies under six months out of direct sunlight, and older infants should be kept out of the sun as much as possible, particularly between 11:00hrs and 15:00hrs.
They should be kept in the shade or under a sunshade if they’re in a buggy or pushchair.

#StayCool

Recycling Bins Now In Situ

The Recycling bins have now been moved from Redlands Yard to the Comrades Hall Car Park.

They’re now at the back of the Hall by the ‘turning area’.

Thank you to Adrian & Dave for walking them down the road 🙂

Village Recycling Update

The recycling bins for tetrapaks and aluminium foil items are moving from Redlands Yard to the Comrades Hall car park.

  • Please take your recycling there from now on.
  • Please don’t put any other items in these bins – it is very unpleasant for volunteers!!

…Talking of which they urgently need more. Recently, two volunteers have left and now there are slots for the upcoming months not covered.

If you are able, please help. It isn’t difficult or time consuming… a trip to Bridport. What it does mean is that this service, which is so important, can remain local.
Contact Jackie Riley: 01308 862632

Map On Display In The Square

The illustrated map “The Place We Love” by Broadwindsor’s Megan Edwards is now on display in the village square.

Malcolm Heaver crafted an oak frame for the map and put it up with Andrew Hookings‘ help on Monday.

Led by Margery Hookings on behalf of Windrose Rural Media Trust, the project was funded by Dorset AONB, Dorset Council and Broadwindsor Group Parish Council.

Photographer James Harrison created a 7 minute video about the project –

Broadwindsor primary school also has a copy of the map which they are also planning to put up outside.

Anyone wishing a hard copy of the map or the map with all the field names are asked to please make their request direct to Margery Hookings at margery.hookings@gmail.com.

It’s Broadwindsor.Org on Facebook

As a result of the hacking incident one week ago, Broadwindsor.org has been moved to create a new Facebook page for the village. Consequently, the Privacy Policy has been updated accordingly and may be viewed HERE.

The ‘old’ Broadwindsor on Facebook is still able to view but nothing can be added to it at this time.

First Images From James Webb Telescope

Expected today are the first live pictures from the $10 billion James Webb telescope which was launched on Christmas Day 2021.

The photograph is the first publicly released science-quality image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, revealed on 11th July, 2022, is the deepest infrared view of the universe to date. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI).

When compared side-by-side to the same area that was imaged by Hubble – people are astounded just how much more detail Webb’s camera is capable of capturing.

Due at 15.30hrs GMT – you can follow NASA‘s live stream HERE.
Alternatively, you can watch it on YouTube HERE.
