  • Mr~ and Mrs. Albert Galer of Uploders, Are Rejoicing in the Birth of a Son, Michael
    PARISH' NOTES (MAY, 1957) Loders, Dottery and Askerswell. The Lateness of Easter, combined with the mild spring weather; had a marked and not at all unpleasin~ e~~ect on the floral decoration of our churches. Instead o~ the unrelieved yellow of primroses, daffodils and forsythia, we had a tinting .of tulips, cherryblossam, bluebells and polyanthus, and at Loders the entire bowl of the font was done in cowslips, which are normally an A.scensiontide flower. Again we are indebted to the ladies who made our drurches so festive, and to the chilBren who made of Loders porch a .Joseph of .Arima.thea1 s garden, complete with pond and ducks. The Easter weather vms all that could be desired, and ·enabled friends who had come from the cities to see the countryside at its best. Services began with a seven .o 1 clock co:n:mrunion at Loders. As the wind was in the right direction; the early risers were 1 met on the church path by the IllUSic of Bridport St• Ms.ry s bells 1 greeting the greatest aay in the year with a :gesurrection fanfare. At Dottery a large and bright morning congregation were waiting for the Easter· cOmmunion; and at Askerswell the quiet approaches to the church were gay with Viive.s and daughters in their Easter finery~ At Loders a score of Sc,outs who were camping in the park staked an early claim to the seats ·in the Ladye Chapel; and peop],e who came late;r:- - including a lot of old friends on holiday whom it was delightful to see - had much diffici..llty in finding billets.

    local environment agency plan WEST DORSET CONSULTATION REPORT NOVEMBER 1997 BLANDFORD FORUM National Information Centre The Environment Agency Rio House Waterside Drive Aztec West BRISTOL BSI2 4 UD Due for return FOREWORD • WEST DORSET LOCAL ENVIRONMENT AGENCY PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT Foreword This Plan is one of a series that is being prepared to cover the whole of England and Wales. Together they represent a significant step forward in environmental thinking. It has been clear for many years that the problems of land, air and water, particularly in the realms of pollution control, cannot be addressed individually. They are interdependant, each affecting the others. The Government's an­ swer was to create the Environment Agency with an umbrella responsibility for all three, and these Plans are one of the principal ways in which the Agency is approaching the task of bringing them together within an overall programme. * Like most of these Plans, this one covers very contrasting areas. The western part is basically rural while the eastern section is dominated by the more urban character of Weymouth and Portland. It does, however, differ from most in covering a number of small catchments rather than a single river. The issues covered in this Plan are central to the future quality of life for all the people who live in the area. They complement the work being done by the local authorities, and are strongly, allied to the environmental aims of the various Local Agenda 21 Groups. These Plans influence the'priorities of the Environment Agency in the area, and so must be of great importance to the growing number of people who are concerned for the environment So, do please read this document Think about its contents, discuss it with your colleagues, and let us know your conclusions.

  • Loders Village Design Statement
    A VILLAGE DESIGN STATEMENT FOR THE PARISH OF LODERS CONTENTS Foreword Introduction 1 The Historical Development 3 Community Guidelines 8 The Setting and Layout of the Village 9 Environmental Guidelines 16 The Buildings 18 Building Development Guidelines 20 Appendix I The Twenty Themes which Capture the Character of Loders 22 Appendix II Guide to Building Materials and Design Detailing 26 Appendix III Listed Buildings 30 Map 32 FOREWORD This Village Design Statement has been produced during the Summer of 2000. It is particularly fitting that during this special Millennial Year, our village has been awarded the Dorset County Council plaque and prize for the Best Small Community Village. The compilation and writing of the Village Design Statement has largely been undertaken by a small Working Group. I am grateful to Alan Best, Esme Campbell, Don Ferns, Pat Hughes, Barbara Wilson and Barry Wilson for all their contributions, enthusiasm, tolerance and good humour in keeping up the momentum of this project. The Working Group has appreciated the support of Derrick Skeats, Chairman and other Members of Loders Parish Council who unanimously agreed that the project should be undertaken. The Working Group has also been encouraged by the support of the Residents of Loders and especially by the attendance at the three Public Meetings. The Exhibition on 16th September, to show the product of our endeavours, resulted in over 100 Residents (a very substantial proportion) giving their immediate support to the adoption of this Village Design Statement as Supplementary Planning Guidance. The Working Group received valuable help and guidance from others outside the Village who have been involved in similar projects, and from Simon Ludgate and his colleagues at the West Dorset Planning Office.
