Drivers are particularly needed in Piddlehinton, Care Data The NHS has developed an information system that will make increased use of information from medical records held here in the Surgery and in other care settings with the intention of improving health services. The new system will provide joined-up information about the care received from all of the different parts of the health service, including hospitals and GP practices. Your date of birth, postcode, NHS number and gender (NOT your name) will be used to link your records in a secure system, managed by the Health & Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC). Once this information has been linked a new record will be created. This new record will not contain information that identifies you. The type of information shared, and how it is shared, is controlled by law and strict confidentiality rules. It is important that you read the leaflet How information about you helps us to provide better care so that you understand how information in your medical record can be used. These are available from the Surgery. Alternatively visit www.nhs.uk/caredata. Charity Book Scheme Since we set up our Charity Book Sale we raised an impressive £1,112.42 for the British Heart Foundation, before changing to support Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

  • Minutes of Puddletown Area Parish Council Meeting Held on Thursday 15Th April, 2010 at Tolpuddle Village Hall, Commencing 7.30P.M
    Minutes of Puddletown Area Parish Council meeting held on Thursday 15th April, 2010 at Tolpuddle Village Hall, commencing 7.30p.m. Present: M Oddy, B Legg, J Hopkin, M Crankshaw, A Sheppard, C Leonard, T White, P Drake Chair: S Buck Clerk: Mrs A Crocker 3 members of the public. PCSO Vicky Hedge The Chairman asked those members of the public present if they would like to make any comments or ask any questions. Mr Tony Gould reported that, in the Village Meeting, they had been talking about the old chapel building where the Martyrs met for worship. It is described as a building of great historic interest and there is talk that the villagers would like to get it restored and it would add to the historical content and heritage of the village. It was built in 1818 but fell into disuse in about 1840 and was replaced by the new chapel in 1862/63. It was originally on a life hold tenancy reverting back to the land owner once the tenant died. It is a project the village would like to take up. This is a grade II* listed building. It was suggested that the way forward would be to involve the owner of the site. The Parish Council would be happy to back any project involving the renovation of the building. M Cooke has already provided them with some contact names and numbers. Bob Dean – adoption of road on Central farm estate. The Clerk will contact the appropriate authority to find out what is happening. It is understood that a financial bond would have been set up to cover this sort of eventuality.

  • Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland
    Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland INITIAL ISSUES AND OPTIONS CONSULTATION FEBRUARY 2017 West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland Local Plan Review Foreword We are delighted to introduce the review of the West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland joint Local Plan. Although it is only a short time ago since the examination and adoption of the joint Local Plan, the inspector who examined the plan said that the councils should prepare an early review. This review needs to identify additional land capable of meeting housing needs to the end of the current plan period (2031) as well as the broad locations for development in the five year period thereafter (to 2036). The inspector pointed towards Dorchester and Sherborne as locations for future growth, but we have also considered a range of options in our coastal and market towns. Government planning policy has changed on a number of issues including the introduction of ‘starter homes’ and ‘self build and custom housebuilding’ aimed to fulfil the Government’s priority to build more homes. We are therefore addressing these issues too. This first consultation document presents the issues relevant to the plan area today and seeks your thoughts on the different options that we can take. It is important to remember that these are ‘options’ which will be refined at a later stage - there is no commitment to any one solution at this point. The review of the adopted local plan is just starting and we are keen to seek as many different views as possible before we go any further. Your views are really important to us and the feedback we receive will guide decisions as the plan progresses towards examination and adoption.

  • The Geology and Landscape of the South Dorset Ridgeway. the South
    The Geology and Landscape of the South Dorset Ridgeway. The South Dorset Ridgeway is part of the Dorset A.O.N.B and is an area extending 17 km east to west from Poxwell to West Bexington and 7 km north to south from the southern outskirts of Dorchester to the scarp and vale landscape of the Weymouth lowlands. Within this area there are several local geological sites (L.G.S.) which have been designated as sites of geological interest (formerly Regionally Important Geological Sites or RIGS). It is hoped that those interested in the many aspects of the area will find this study of the geology of use to better understand the nature of the landscape, the ecology and the human history. The sites that fall within the study area are as follows: Site Location GR and or postcode. Bincombe Hill Quarry SY689845, DT3 5PU Corton SY636854, DT3 4EP Kingston Maurward Quarry SY718917, DT2 8PU Lime Kiln Crags (Abbotsbury) SY589858, DT3 4LD North Barn Farm SY567916, DT2 9EF Portesham Rocket Quarry SY610859, DT3 4ES Poxwell SY743835, DT2 8ND Red Lane Abbotsbury SY575855, DT3 4JS The sites are located across the area from the northern edge of the Weymouth Anticline (Red Lane, Portesham and Bincombe) to the Chalk Valley and Downland in the north (Kingston Maurward and North Barn Farm). Another very interesting area in the east is around Poxwell. The rocks in the area are all sedimentary in origin and range from late Jurassic rocks at Abbotsbury (Corallian to Kimmeridge Clay passage beds), Portesham and Poxwell, (Kimmeridge Clay and Portland Beds) across the Jurassic Cretaceous boundary with the Purbeck Beds and then the later rocks of the middle and late Cretaceous (Upper Greensand and Chalk) seen at Bincombe Hill Quarry, Lime Kiln Crags, North Barn Farm and Kingston Maurward).
