Land South Of Fullers Development

The detailed planning shown was published on this website on 19th February (You can read the post HERE).  There remains some confusion as what the planning application WD/D/21/000123 is for.

The developers have already outlined planning permission to build 22 houses and this has been approved. Application WD/D/21/000123 is concerned with the layout, landscaping and possibly the most important – what traffic calming measures will be in place on the Salway Ash road?

Councillor David Leader commented: “In essence we can’t stop the houses from being built but we can potentially influence the layout, design, traffic calming and landscaping. Residents can make their own comments and the Parish Council will submit their collective view based on residents’ opinions and their own.
Please be aware that there are two applications for the land south of Fullers, one is the original outline application which has been passed. The one we need to consider is WD/D/21/000123.
Cllr. Dorothy Rowe and I are collating residents’ views and have spoken to many. I would urge residents to contact us with their views and to make their comments on the Dorset Planning website. We don’t have long to do this.”

The matter is an item on the Parish Council’s agenda for their meeting on Monday 8th March.

Midweek Motivator Quiz – Wednesday 24th February

The Midweek Motivator Quiz should go on for the next few weeks but possibly end as and when it is allowed for up to six people (or two households if this is larger) to meet in each other’s gardens – which is currently scheduled to take place on 29th March. 🙂 You will be kept posted.

This week there are 3 rounds of 5 questions (No Local Round from now on) and one picture round of 10 questions.

The Bike ProjectThe Bike Project takes second-hand bikes, fixes them up and donates them to refugees to help them access safe, free transport. The charity helps refugees get access to bikes, as they are not legally allowed to work and can only live on £37.75 a week. A bike is more than just transport. A bike can help them not only connect with their local community, but also access legal help, food banks, support with mental health and so much more! Help them raise money while enjoying a cracking comedy night with some incredible talent! Learn more about The Bike Project HERE.

Have a Laugh & Enjoy!

Croissant, half baked.As more people are using the service, to provide a safer environment and to maintain a steady flow of customers, collection slots are at fifteen minute intervals starting at 11:30am and finishing at 1pm.

Please pick up from the side door where they will hand over your order at the entrance. Some customers’ orders are quite large and they will need to take several bags to their car, so please can all customers wait until the previous customer has finished their collection before entering the porch by the side entrance. Please wait in the doorway rather than go into the hall while they get your order ready.

Our thanks to all the team who have not only maintained this essential village service since the first Lockdown, almost a year a go – they have improved upon it!
