In today’s stormy weather, a massive thank you to Jamie Dawson who helped Cllr. David Leader clear all the leaves from the pavement and car parking area from our Community Stores down to the school entrance.
This considerate, community action is what makes our village Community great – whatever the weather! 🙂

The Wobbly Cottage artisan bakery at Redlands Yard celebrated 3 years of business there today and owners Rich & Dani had this to say:
“Bit of a #throwback to our opening day 3 years ago. 3 years of a bricks and mortar bakery and shop, how did that happen?! A huge thank you to everyone that has supported us in every which way, customers old and new and to all of you that continue to support us even in these very odd times we find ourselves in. We are so lucky to have such loyal and supportive people around us. Thank You!“

With more people using dash cams in their vehicles and taking recordings on their mobile ‘phones, Dorset Police, with the support of the Department of Transport have launched Operation SNAP. It is the police response to the ever increasing submissions of video and photographic evidence from members of the public in relation to witnessed driving offences.
You must be able to provide the registration number of the offending vehicle.
The secure form is for traffic offences, it is NOT for submitting footage of road traffic collisions or any other offences.
They can only accept a statement for Operation Snap from persons aged 18 or over. If you are under 18 the incident should be reported by email to 101.
It will be your responsibility to ensure that the original footage is saved in its original format dependant on how it is stored on the device.
Do NOT publish the footage on any social media sites. If you’ve done so – remove it immediately. Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) advice is that your footage should not be in the public domain as this may adversely affect any subsequent proceedings.
As part of the Criminal Justice process, and in order to allow the police to deal with the offender in an appropriate manner, you will be required to provide a statement. However this can be completed on line and the majority of the statement will be completed as a result of you answering some simple pre-formatted questions. On average only 1 to 2% of all offences reported through Operation Snap result in requiring you to make a court appearance.
