June 2012 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Dorset Stour Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Dorset Stour catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Dorset Stour CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England The Dorset Stour catchment has a history of flood risk. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed Over the last 50 years engineering schemes have been inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for the implemented to reduce flood risk in the catchment.

The CFMP considers all types of inland present 780 properties are at risk in the catchment in a flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface water and 1% event (taking into account flood defences). This is tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea likely to increase to over 2,900 properties in the future.

  • From: Melksham Rail User Group To: “Melksham Bypass Consultation” Date: 16Th January 2021
    From: Melksham Rail User Group To: “Melksham Bypass Consultation” Date: 16th January 2021 Dear Sirs, Input to current "A350 Melksham Bypass" consultation from the Melksham Rail User Group Thank you for the early opportunity to provide input into the "A350 Melksham Bypass" consultation process. This input is written on behalf of the Melksham Rail User Group and was unanimously adopted at the group meeting on Wednesday 13th January 2021. 1. Please consider the Melksham Rail User Group and the TransWilts Community Rail Partnerships as stakeholders and consultees throughout this process 2. We commend options 4 and 5 (rail and bus) public transport and option 6 (cycle and walking) improvements, and note that they score very highly on deliverability, affordability and acceptability. Whilst they are unlikely to meet your objectives on their own, they should provide a valuable and significant element implemented as thoroughly as practical in any solution 3. Please look at alternative of long distance traffic routing via the already Highways England / Trunk A46/A36 route rather than by increasing capacity on the regional A350 (you have confirmed you can add other options at this stage). 4. Please take a look at the alternative of rail use for longer distance freight and medium and longer passenger traffic via the TransWilts railway line which parallels the A350 road. 5. Please ensure that any railway crossings (options 9a, 9b, 9c, 8a and 8b) allow for the line to be restored to a double track such that trains can path both ways under or over the bridge at the same time. Please rule out level crossings at each point that rail and road cross.

  • Freedom of Information Request Reference No 2017–005
    FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO 2017–005 Your request has now been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) and we provide our response below. You asked: I have been informed that the Police Central Garage has arbitrarily been moved from Ferndown to Weymouth and it has been impossible to sell the old Garage. Under the Freedom of Information Act would you tell me how much this is costing the taxpayer and the rationale, given that the vast majority of the Dorset population live in the Bournemouth/Poole area and hence one would assume most crime committed here? Your request for information has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) and our response is as follows: In general terms the decision and rationale behind the decision to dispose of the Ferndown Divisional HQ site was made public in September 2014 and published on both the Dorset Police and Dorset PCC’s website (links below). The decision was also widely reported in the local media, including the BBC (link also below): https://www.dorset.pcc.police.uk/dorset-pcc-news-blog/news-and-blog/2014/09/changes-to- counter-service-provision-and-sale-of-ferndown-approved/ https://www.dorset.police.uk/news-information/news-archive/changes-to-counter-service- provision-and-sale-of-ferndown-hq-approved/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-29259388 As you rightly point out the workshop was built specifically for the maintenance and support of the Dorset Police vehicle fleet as was the facility in Weymouth.
