Stop Press: Monday’s Council Meeting Now On Zoom

Monday’s Group Parish Council meeting, initially planned for Drimpton Village Hall will now take place online. This will enable more to take part to hear the Council’s discussions, particularly with regard to the future of the White Lion pub.
The Town Clerk issued the following this morning:

“In light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths and the subsequent delay in the lifting of remaining social distancing requirements, the Chairman and Vice Chairman have today discussed the potential risks to Councillors, employees and members of the public in holding next week’s meeting in-person. Also taking into consideration the fact that Dorset Council is continuing to hold committee meetings remotely, a decision has been taken to hold Monday’s meeting on Zoom once again.”

Euro 2021

The oldest rivalry in international football … At 8pm on ITV this evening, England play Scotland in their 2nd match of the UEFA EURO Cup at Wembley Stadium. The teams have not faced each other since a pulsating 2-2 draw at Hampden Park in 2017, a match which saw three goals in the final six minutes!

Gareth Southgate, his team and the English fans are all confident of victory having beat Croatia 1-0 last Sunday with a goal scored by Manchester City Forward, Raheem Sterling. At their 10th attempt, this was the first time England have ever won their opening match.
England are hoping that it will be a repeat of the classic encounter between England and Scotland at Euro 96. England won that day 2-0 with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne.

The Scots however, their first appearance in a major tournament in 23 years last week, were reminded of the disappointment of watching Scotland at the World Cup in Argentina 43 years ago as Patrik Schick from the Czech Republic put two goals in the back of Scotland’s net – one of them extraordinary from the halfway line. Steve Clarke and his team have a lot to do!

Farewell Lloyd Curtis

This morning, members of the Parish Council and local community applauded as Lloyd Curtis drove through the village on the back of a trailer which looked absolutely beautiful in it’s simplicity in today’s beautiful sunshine.

The Group Parish Council commented on social media: “ Lloyd was a long-standing member who made such a positive contribution to the Council, he had an amazing local knowledge and a true community spirit. Lloyd will be greatly missed by all and the Parish Council offers its sincere condolences to his family.”

R.I.P. Lloyd.

Gladis’s Law

Cameron Farquharson is gathering a wealth of support for Gladis’s Law, Protecting livestock, informing dog owners: a campaign for a change in law to make it mandatory to keep dogs on a lead when walking near livestock. “We want to educate dog owners about the importance of using a lead.”

Yesterday Cameron received the 2021 Sheep worrying by dogs survey from The National Sheep Association. He shared the following on social media:

“I am currently sat reading through it and the causes of the livestock incidents jumped out at me. People could select multiple answers.

70% selected that the cause was not putting their dog(s)on a lead.
66% believed that their dog(s) won’t attack livestock or won’t do damage if they do.
49% Was down to a lack of regard or concern on the issue.
39% had assumed their dog(s) would respond to commands off the lead.
47% was down to allowing dog(s) to roam unaccompanied or escaped from gardens or kennels.
5% Worrying on purpose/linked to poaching.

The NSA then asked farmers what was the outcome of them asking people to put their dogs on lead. Again people could select multiple answers.

51% reported receiving Verbal abuse.
48% were ignored by the dog owner.
21% received Intimidation by the dog owner.
16% Other (no understanding, land ownership).
15% Polite refusal to use a lead.
8% Retribution (vandalism).
3% received physical abuse.

I will post more once I’ve read and understood. But I think we can all agree that the statistics from this survey are shocking. We need to change things for the better.”

Recycling in Dorset

Whether you have a permit or not, Dorset Council like to know more about how you use your local Household Recycling Centre (HRC, or “the tip”) and your views on the current permit system.

The Recycling Centre Vehicle Access Policy was last amended in 2009. Usage patterns and demands on Dorset Council recycling centres have changed since then.

Some vehicles need a permit to access Dorset Council’s Household Recycling Centres, and some are not allowed on site at all. This is mainly to prevent abuse by traders who illegally deposit commercial waste at the household recycling centres. These permits are currently free.

To apply for, update or cancel a permit (only one permitted vehicle per household) – please click HERE.

To give your views on the current system – please complete their short survey HERE.
