Who Visits & Who Follows Broadwindsor.org? The Year In Review

It has been just over a year since Broadwindsor.org launched in response to the Coronavirus outbreak.

The aim always has been to provide the ever changing rules and information for local people within our village, the parish and to support local commercial businesses throughout the ongoing pandemic.

After one year, Broadwindsor can reveal the following fun facts & statistics – all of which are correct at the time of publishing:

  • The website, Broadwindsor.org now has 6,500 visitors each month.
  • On Twitter, Broadwindsor.org currently has 730 followers.
  • The Shrewsbury Morris Dancers whose mantra is “Dance, Have Fun, Laugh, Repeat” are Broadwindsor.org’s biggest follower on Twitter this month with 1.3K followers.
  • On Facebook, Broadwindsor.org has 750 followers.
  • Although almost as many followers on Twitter, Facebook refers 75% of visitors to the Broadwindsor.org website!
  • 68% of visitors to Broadwindsor.org reside in the U.K.
  • 28% of visitors to Broadwindsor.org reside in the U.S. of A.

World Visitors Mar 2020 - Mar 2021
The website also demonstrates a wide demographic –

How do you access the website?

  • Desktop 21%
  • Tablet 16%
  • Mobile 63%

After this last 12 months when everybody has suffered and struggled, Broadwindsor.org will now evolve into a new and  independent, not-for-profit local community organisation – purely to generate enough revenue to cover the essential operational overheads in order to keep it going.  The Editor’s labour continues to be voluntary.

Consequently, from April 6th 2021, all the commercial advertisers who are listed and have been promoted and supported on the website throughout this past year will be asked to pay £15 a year for their inclusion on the website’s local business listing page and with features throughout the year 2021 – 2022.  Businesses will be emailed directly in due course.

  • £15/year works out as £0.04 per day.
  • Where else will you get such personalised advertising reaching all corners of the globe?
  • Broadwindsor.org needs you to keep it going!

Local Farmer Loses Lamb To Dog

* Please keep your dog secure in fields *

Local farmers, Neil & Rachel Hayball at Speckets Knapp Lamb have their sheep graze between Broadwindsor and Pilsdon pen.
Tragically yesterday, an out of control dog killed a 10 month old lamb that they have been nurturing along with the rest of the flock since birth.
An angry Rachel posted the picture of the dead lamb on social media stating “THIS is what happens when you fail to keep your dog on lead or secure within your property. . . . Before anyone asks whether I am sure it was a dog – yes I am.  I’ve just found dog foot prints and the injuries to the lamb are consistent with a dog attack.”
Rachel continued “Please be aware that if we catch a dog in with our sheep and we can’t get hold of it it WILL be shot as per UK law.“
Dorset Police have been informed and anyone with any information is requested to use the Crime Ref. number: 10-646

The Law –

Under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953, if a dog worries sheep on agricultural land, the person in charge of the dog is guilty of an offence. The Act considers sheep worrying to include: attacking sheep. chasing them in a way that may cause injury, suffering, abortion or loss of produce.
Dogs Will Be ShotFarmers are legally entitled to shoot dogs if they are endangering their sheep.
Farmers cannot shoot dogs simply due to trespassing. If they do, they could be prosecuted in a civil action by the owner.
Farmers will need to prove they shot the dog as the only way possible or last resort to protect livestock.
Farmers cannot shoot dogs that have permission to be on the farmland.

* Please keep your dog secure in fields *

Broadwindsor’s Telephone Box Book Exchange

The photograph, taken today shows that the telephone from the telephone box in Broadwindsor’s square has now been removed.  This indicates that the legalities of the Parish Council adopting it may have concluded. Consequently, many books  which were on top of the telephonehave now been piled on the floor which is not suitable due to the damp conditions.

The number of books has increased too.  It is meant to be serving as a Book Exchange and not a place for a carrier bag or bundle of books to be left, particularly if there is clearly no room to accommodate them at this time.  Once the legalities are final, the Parish Council do intend to renovate the telephone box – which may involve putting up shelves for books as the book exchange does seem to be working well.  It is not an item on the Parish Council’s agenda this Monday – which is extensive already – but please help keep it tidy 🙂

World Book Day 4.3.21

To celebrate World Book Day, and the incredulous date which will never occur again, Broadwindsor.org produced over three dozen memorable bookmarks for the children who use or accompany their parents to the telephone box.
Apologies as they were a day late due to technical problems!
