We are so fortunate to be living among the green and rolling landscape of a rather beautiful Dorset and have escaped the devastation which has befallen other parts of the British Isles. Seeing first hand the effects of the recent tidal surges on the East coast, the flooded homes, cliffs washed away, beaches littered with debris, roads closed and flood defences breached was truly sobering. Opening our newspapers, turning on the radio, the television or online media, we are greeted by even more worrying signs of devastation though mainly caused by a country at war with itself. The world has seen a united response to the death of Nelson Mandela. It would be wonderful if the world could unite again to end the death and suffering of communities whatever their religion and allow free democracies to thrive enabling people to live side by side, children to attend schools and anticipate a future for themselves in their own countries, rather than being refugees far from home. At the start of 2014, we welcome new advertisers and would like to thank all our advertisers, contributors and volunteers for their support, enabling PVNV to be delivered free of charge to all in our community. This issue is once again full of community news and events, progress on the Neighbourhood Plan, a fascinating account of a long life and a snapshot of the scale of vehicles in the Piddle Valley.

Usually these are aimed at improving our life. We know only too well from our own experience how our resolve seems to weaken by the 20th January if not the 2nd ! Academic research on will power suggests that it is rather like a mental ‘muscle’: it is a finite resource which can be exerted for only so long before it gives out. One experiment involved giving one group a two digit number to remember and another a seven digit number. Both groups had then to walk a limited distance to where they were offered for refreshment either a slice of chocolate cake or a piece of fresh fruit. Those who had to remember the seven digit number were twice as likely to choose the (possibly not so wholesome) chocolate cake as the (perhaps more healthy) fruit option.

  • Passengers to Get Faster Journeys Between Somerset and Dorset Following Bridge Renewal at Yetminster

    Passengers to Get Faster Journeys Between Somerset and Dorset Following Bridge Renewal at Yetminster

    Passengers to get faster journeys between Somerset and Dorset following bridge renewal at Yetminster January 17, 2020 Network Rail is to carry out upgrades between Castle Cary and Weymouth over a series of weekends this spring to provide passengers with a more reliable railway and faster journeys. Between January and April, engineers will strengthen tunnels, bridges and refurbish and renew track on the Heart of Wessex line, which links Weymouth and Bristol. The main area of work is at Yetminster in Dorset where a 129-year-old bridge crossing the River Wriggle will be renewed. This requires the closure of the line for six days between Yeovil Pen Mill and Weymouth from Saturday 15 February to Friday 21 February when buses will replace trains. Replacement transport will run between Weymouth and Yeovil Pen Mill to connect with Great Western Railway (GWR) train services towards Bristol Temple Meads. Engineers will work around the clock to replace the deck of Yetminster river bridge, providing a new, a more reliable support for track. There will also be further closures over four weekends to complete the other upgrades to the line. With the new bridge deck installed, a long-standing speed restriction will be removed to provide passengers with faster journeys between Somerset and Dorset, whilst reducing maintenance requirements in the future. Mark Killick, Network Rail Wessex route director, said: “There is never a good time to close an important line for the area’s communities, and we are sorry for the inconvenience the closures will cause. “This significant piece of work to the bridge will be much easier to maintain and together with a reinforced tunnel and new and refurbished track, there will be a much more reliable railway and better journeys for our passengers.” James Wilcox, GWR’s Station Manager for Castle Cary, said: “This package of works will improve reliability on the route for years to come, and once complete and the speed restriction lifted, this will allow us the opportunity to improve journeys times.

    URBAN/VILLAGE EXTENSION - DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF NEW URBANISM: THE CASE STUDIES OF POUNDBURY AND UPTON YANHUI LEI, BArch, MSc, MA SUPERVISORS: PROFESSOR MICHAEL STACEY AND DR YAN ZHU Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2014 1 Abstract The motivation for this research is based on the very serious problem – local identity loss of village extensions in the Chinese ordinary villages. During the new development of Chinese ordinary villages, international concrete blocks and multi-storey apartments, which have been mass-produced in urban areas, are simply copied into rural areas replacing the local distinctive built environment. The author of this thesis set out to rethink the design principles of new urbanism in a way which can help create an urban/village extension of a town or a village to respect local identity or local context. Therefore, the research question is that ‘Can the design principles of new urbanism promote local identity or harmony with local context for urban/village extension? By reviewing the primary theories and ideas, the literature review draws upon primary sources of new urbanism including introduction and design principles which underlies a fundamental theoretical framework of design principles of new urbanism, and the overall view of the practice. Once the framework of design principles of new urbanism have been established in this research, it is essential to test it through case studies. The purpose of case studies is to identify if the design principles of new urbanism can promote local identity or harmony with local context in practice. Two UK cases, Poundbury and Upton were selected and analysed.
