The Dorset County Bus Guides are currently produced in a set of three books with one guide for each of the Northern, Southern and Eastern areas of Dorset. The map inside the front cover highlights the main area featured within the guide and helps identify which guide is needed. These guides include a large number of timetables which allow passengers to make longer journeys using fewer guides. We do not include full rail timetables in our guides; however this information is widely available in both printed and electronic formats from National Rail, the individual train operators or from traveline. Links to all these sources are available through www.dorsetforyou.com/traveldorset which also includes journey planning, live bus times from any stop in Dorset, live travel alerts and roadworks information.

(The East Devon meeting was postponed due to severe weather warnings and is rescheduled for 13 January 2011.) The Jurassic Coast Earth Festival is being led by the Lyme Regis Development Trust, and these events were run with invaluable input by various members of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Team – which is supporting the development and implementation of the Earth Festival. The aims of the meetings were to: communicate the themes and opportunities provided by the Jurassic Coast Earth Festival 2012 inspire participation in the festival and stimulate new initiatives create connections within and between communities along the Jurassic Coast These were attended by over 80 people, comprising artists and arts organisations, venues, museums, local authority officers, councillors, community initiatives, visitor centres, conservation organisations including the National Trust, Dorset and Devon AONB, Natural England, Countryside Rangers, schools, media and others. A preliminary website www.earthfestival2012.org has since been created which contains information on the scope and aims of the Earth Festival. This will be added to as soon as possible in order to incorporate information about key events in planning, as they emerge, as well as a ‘back end’ facility to enable networking and project development between various initiatives. Copies of main presentations are being emailed to participants and available to download from the website, as are Earth festival Project/Event planning Proformas.

  • Excursion to Lyme Regis, Easter, 1906
    320 EXCURSION TO LYME REGIS, EASTER, 1906. pebbles and bed NO.3 seemed, however, to be below their place. The succession seemed, however,to be as above, and, if that be so, the beds below bed I are probably Bagshot Beds. "The pit at the lower level has been already noticed in our Proceedings; cj. H. W. Monckton and R. S. Herries 'On some Bagshot Pebble Beds and Pebble Gravel,' Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. xi, p. 13, at p. 22. The pit has been worked farther back, and the clay is now in consequence thicker. Less of the under­ lying sand is exposed than it was in June, 1888. "The casts of shells which occur in this sand were not abundant, but several were found by members of the party on a small heap of sand at the bottom of the pit." Similarly disturbed strata were again observed in the excavation for the new reservoir close by. A few minutes were then profitably spent in examining Fryerning Church, and its carved Twelfth Century font, etc. At the Spread Eagle a welcome tea awaited the party, which, after thanking the Director, returned by the 7.55 p.m. train to London.

At the meeting on 17 July 2013, Cabinet deferred a final decision on subsidy levels in order to seek the views of parish and town councils on the impact of the preferred Option 3. Subsequent to the Cabinet meeting it was also decided to undertake public consultation through the Dorset For You online consultation portal. Responses received from the consultation exercise, along with revised proposals for Dorchester Town bus services to be changed in advance of the final plan were presented to Cabinet for the meeting on 6 November 2013. This report takes account of representations made through the various consultations and presents recommendations for: Core savings of £970,279 Reinstatement of routes £95,000 Transfer to Community Transport budget £25,000 TOTAL SAVINGS £850,279 Concerns were raised by Members and the public who attended the Cabinet meeting on 6 November 2013 and these have been addressed by this report. Page 2 – Supported Local Bus Services Since the Cabinet meeting on 6 November 2013 a commercial bus route has been de-registered.

There are six con- tributors in this edition and of these one was a complete surprise. Roy Ald- worth, one of the three founders of the Pavey Group, without a hint of his inten- tions, submitted an article that proved to be a delightful memoir of his child- hood, which even he will admit was some time ago now. Well done Roy and thank you for your special moments. Peter Childs has sent the second of his conversations in a dialect of nine- ty years ago. The events are real as were the characters and indeed the tragic history of the loss of the HMS Formidable of 1915. The Tales from the Forge is an excellent format Peter - I’ve been trying to reproduce those glorious dia- lect sounds, unsuccessfully I might add. May I have many more opportunities.

  • Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies: Maiden Newton & South Perrott Traffic in Rural Settlements
    DORSET AREA OF OUTSTANDING NaturaL BeautY Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies: Maiden Newton & South Perrott Traffic in Rural Settlements DORSET AREA Of OUTSTANDING Natural Beauty Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies – Maiden Newton & South Perrott IntroduCTION These notes build on a series of events organized and commissioned by the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in early 2009. These aimed to explore the potential for addressing the quality of the built and natural environment in rural areas in the context of Dorset’s Rural Roads Protocol. The Dorset AONB has played a key role in helping develop the Protocol alongside Dorset County Council and its other partners. The pilot studies for two villages in the west of the County add to existing studies in the Piddle Valley, and are intended to help explore and develop a range of ideas for communities located on busier A and B roads. Both communities involved in the pilot studies have carried out surveys through their Parish Councils to gather views and opinions about their respective communities. The great majority of concerns centre around traffic, and the detrimental effects associated with vehicles. Typically these include concerns about speed, safety, and the comfort of pedestrians. There are also concerns about the barriers caused by busy roads, the difficulties for cyclists, and actual or potential damage to buildings and structures. Noise and vibrations are also a problem, as well as the deterioration in the coherence, character and quality of the rural built environment. Such issues are not unique to Dorset. Almost every settlement in the country situated on busy roads suffers similar problems.
