The surface of the pitch is one of the best in Dorset and such facilities enable scores of people to enjoy grass roots sport. Sports Club Committee spokesman, John Kane, writes: “It requires many spokes to strengthen a wheel but right at the hub of the wheel is our groundsman, Malcolm Applin, who at the age of 76 has been involved with football in Milborne for over thirty years, the last ten as a member of the Sports Club Committee. Malcolm sets a high standard in preparing his pitch and does all the jobs that an unsung hero is made of. We turn up for games, the boilers are on, the changing rooms are clean, the pitch is marked out, the grass is cut, the machinery for cutting the grass is maintained and all these jobs are done quietly by Malcolm.” Change of name for My Mate John Horticultural Society 1930–2009 THE AGM of the Society was held on Thursday 26th November A tribute by Keith Hustings where a vote was taken to change the name to the Milborne St.

Many new huts were built for accommodation, as most of the huts from WW1 had long since been demolished or sold on. Some became the huts for the Blandford Scouts in Eagle House Gardens. INVASION? In 1940, Blandford received prominence when Prime Minister Churchill declared Blandford must become 'a strategic tank island to be defended at all costs'. This was in response to the threat of German invasion after the Fall of France in May. The German plan, one of many, was to land in August 1940 on the Dorset Coast “Operation Sealion”, and strike northward rapidly to the Bristol Channel, thereby capturing Blandford featured strongly in the German at a stroke the ports of Devon and plans. It lay on one of three routes the German Cornwall and enabling the landing Army would have taken, the others being of German forces unopposed. Maiden Newton and Fordingbridge, with Blandford and the crossing of the River Stour at it's bridge, being the most advantageous route. LOCATION ? . In order to confuse the invaders, town signs were ordered to be removed, here in particular the word BLANDFORD that was prominently displayed on street and sewer drain covers, and on the charity boards in the Parish Church.

  • Townscapes: the South West
    Policy Report Series Townscapes 5. South West A publication from the Bennett Institute for Public Policy Authors: Benjamin Goodair Research Assistant, Bennett Institute for Public Policy Professor Michael Kenny Director, Bennett Institute for Public Policy Published: July 2020 Contents Foreword by Michael Kenny 4 South West - Key Findings 5 Introduction 6 Economic Performance 7 Public Service Provision 24 Covid-19 in the South West 28 Overview and Implications 30 Descriptive Statistics and Regression Tables 32 References 41 3 Foreword by Michael Kenny The declining economic fortunes of many towns, and the chasm that divides the experiences and outlooks of many of their inhabitants from the metropolitan centres where wealth and power have become concentrated, are issues of growing interest in political life and public policy. In the UK, the preponderance of support for Brexit among town-dwellers, and the countervailing values of many young urbanites, has sparked a deep debate about how and why towns are locked out of the circuits of growth in the modern economy, and how the inequalities associated with economic geography can be more effectively tackled. The Townscapes project launched at the Bennett Institute brings together a variety of different data sources to offer a deeper analysis of how towns are faring across the regions and nations of Britain. It aims to step away from the generalisations and dogmas that infuse much of the contemporary policy debate and offer instead a more finely grained picture of how different towns relate to their wider regions and nations, as well as to their nearest cities. It showcases the merits of a more granular and regionally rooted perspective for our understanding of geographical inequalities and the kinds of policy needed to address them.
