Back Lane Closed – Traffic Diversion

Wessex Water have commenced roadworks this morning in Back Lane with apparently no notice to residents.  This has caused significant disruption and there is someone in place now diverting traffic.

There was an urgent road closure in effect in Main Street, Hursey (more HERE) but nothing about Back Lane this morning.  Traffic, including buses and lorries travelled the wrong way down High Street towards the Comrades Hall only to meet traffic coming up the opposite way.  This too may be urgent but no notification causes accidents.  The police have been notified.

Please take care when driving through the village!

Wessex Water tweeted at approx. 1pm stating: “…sorry for the inconvenience caused. The team involved has advised us that the work has now been completed and traffic should soon return to normal. They’ll look into what went wrong on this occasion to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks.”

Telephone Box Book Exchange Update #3

Once again the village is indebted to Chris Edgerley and his helpers who are restoring the historic phone box in the centre of the village.


They are doing a wonderful job and it will become a great library and book exchange for the use of all residents. Malcolm Heaver will make a purpose built shelving system using all his carpentry skills.

Our again sincere thanks to all the people who have brought this important landmark back to life.

Wendy Shields will manage the library on an ongoing basis.

Save The White Lion NEWS Update #5

From David Leader, White Lion Steering Group Chairman:

We are very pleased to say that the Broadwindsor Community Pub is now a legal business. The articles of the business make it clear that this is a community pub run for the benefit of the community and is a not-for-profit organisation.

No business can start without funds and we need to raise about £30,000 quickly to carry out essential refurbishment, buy equipment mainly for the kitchen, purchase stock and pay the wages of employees.

Opening the White Lion is going to be a challenge for us all but we believe that we can make it happen. Those wonderful evenings where the community comes together in convivial surroundings with conversation and laughter can happen again.

There will be a public meeting on Tuesday 11 January at 7pm where we can explain our plans, answer questions and listen to suggestions.

We hope to hold this meeting at the Comrades Hall but if this is not allowed because of the Covid situation we will try to hold it on Zoom. We hope that as many people as possible will attend. Please look out for updated information.

The Steering Group would like to thank all those who have shown such an enthusiastic interest in saving the White Lion.

– David Leader, White Lion Steering Group Chairman
