  • The Weymouth Mission
    The Weymouth Mission This story of Christian witness in Dorset is based on an account drawn up in 1991, using documents and photographs from the Parish archives, at the request of Fr Patrick Mulvaney, and Fr Joseph Phelan who were at that time Parish Priests at St Augustine’s and St Joseph’s Churches respectively. The original archive is now believed lost. The account also includes a contribution from the late Gwen Greenslade OPL who researched the history of the Dominican Order in Weymouth. In the Beginning... Christianity in South Dorset goes back to Roman times. Constantine the Great allowed toleration to Christians in 313 AD and Christianity became the State Religion of the Empire in 324 AD. The mosaic floor at Hinton St Mary depicts Christ and the chi-rho sign. Many of the burials at Poundbury indicate Christians. Perhaps the Roman settlement at Radipole had Christians in its population during the 4th Century. When the Saxons broke through to Dorset in the 7th century they were mainly Christians, as St Augustine and friends had done their work well in the South East. By the 13th century, Weymouth on the west bank of the harbour, and Melcombe on the east side were fully fledged towns. The Church at Radipole is said to be the oldest building in the Weymouth area and dates from about 1250. It was originally dedicated to St Mary, and served Melcombe Regis. All Saints Church at Wyke served Weymouth. The French had a nasty habit of raiding the towns when the inhabitants were away attending Mass at the two churches.

Situated on the north shore of the harbour and extending to Lodmoor Hill, it includes Weymouth seafront, town centre and the residential areas of Greenhill and the Park District. Yet, despite its attributes it is the Borough ward with most evidence of multiple deprivation and is within the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country (Public Health England Local Health Profiles 2015). It scores high levels of deprivation in living environment; education; skills and training; health; employment; income and crime. The area has seen few improvements since the previous index was published in 2010. Melcombe Regis has many great features that are enjoyed by locals and thousands of visitors every year. But it is a ward with many constituent parts. The blend of private and rented housing, homes of multiple occupancy; hotels; guesthouses and retail; commercial and leisure activities make up a very diverse area. Despite performing relatively well, Melcombe Regis has suffered from the structural decline of seaside resort towns, low paid seasonal jobs and cheap, poorer quality housing has created a high transient population many with complex needs. Health and wellbeing is affected by a variety of factors, some of which are amenable to change, either by personal choice such as diet or by external influences, for instance changes to the local environment.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

He then led a small non-conformist congregation, who met in various places in the town. In 1672 a licence was obtained to use the house of James Reed. In 1703 three messuages in St Nicholas Street were purchased and in 1705 conveyed to the Congregational Trustees. There is evidence to suggest that part of this site had been used by the Presbyterians as a meeting place since 1672. In 1805 the church was re-built and in 1817 extensive alterations took place. During the 1820s the Church helped to establish a Congregational chapel in Weymouth in Hope Square [see NP.9] and later one in Radipole. In 1864 a new church was built in Gloucester Street.
