Minutes of the FULL PARISH COUNCIL MEETING of Sixpenny Handley & Pentridge Parish Council Held 25Th January 2018 7:30Pm at the Parish Office, Sixpenny Handley - 68 - Minutes of the FULL PARISH COUNCIL MEETING of Sixpenny Handley & Pentridge Parish Council Held 25th January 2018 7:30pm at the Parish Office, Sixpenny Handley. Item Action By Public Open Session 40 Members of public present. A large representation by members of public concerned with the proposed change of use planning application for The Roebuck Inn 3/17/3617 FUL and the loss of a community asset in a prominent position in the village. The Chairman took the opportunity, whilst so many residents present, to discuss the idea of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. A plan would influence decisions by East Dorset Council on matters such as housing, drainage management, loss of community assets and how the provision of services (halls, buses, church, pubs etc) fit in to the future vision of the community. District Councillor Simon Tong added that information about Neighbourhood Plans is available on line and recommended the community considers a structured plan. The Community Land Trust provided an update on the current scheme to provide affordable housing in Common Road. Currently preparing for outline planning permission with a Public Community Meeting to be held March/April to present the proposals with a view to construction beginning early 2019. One of the issues to be addressed is provision of parking for the school. Unfortunately funding does not stretch for additional parking to be incorporated into the development. The school is aware and alternative arrangements are being considered with the Parish Council to provide a link footpath (with lighting) from the Village Hall Car Park to the rear of the school. An extension of the 20mph limit along Common Road is also being discussed with Dorset County Council. With regard to the possible loss of The Roebuck Inn, the Community Land Trust as a legal entity has the power to establish a structure to rescue a community asset. Simon Parker, Chairman of the CLT suggested setting up a meeting to look at the viability of this proposal. Members of public had an opportunity to discuss their concerns for the loss of The Roebuck Inn. A resident expressed concern with speeding traffic along the High Street and requested a prominent, permanent illuminated sign to encourage drivers to slow down. The Parish Council is in the process of finding a site for a Speed Indicator Device with the approval of Dorset County Council for the High Street. Resident suggested a mini roundabout would be effective at slowing traffic at Handley Cross. This has been discussed with Dorset County Council previously but proved to be too expensive to implement. A resident reported the Royal Mail post box is missing in Common Lane. Another resident advised that Royal Mail are not intending to replace it. A resident felt that this had been a good public open session interlinking community issues, however felt a Neighbourhood Plan would be a very demanding and expensive process and that the Parish Council might consider instead to update the Parish Plan which would provide more focus and less work. Common Road – report of ponding due to surface water; gullies and grips not working well. Concern how this might be effected by the housing development in an area recognised by the Environment Agency for flooding. 297 Attendance & Apologies Cllr Christian Baker-Smith Cllr Jane Henry Cllr Stuart McLean Cllr Gemma O’Brien Cllr James Reed (Vice Chairman) Cllr Colin Taylor (Chairman) Cllr Andy Turner Cllr Steve Butler (County Councillor Cranborne Chase Ward) Cllr Simon Tong (District Councillor Handley Vale Ward) C:\Users\David\Google Drive\Sixpenny Handley\Minutes\2018\Minutes FULL 250118.doc - 69 - Also in Attendance Mrs Lisa Goodwin (Clerk) Mrs Ciona Nicholson (Assistant Clerk) Apologies Cllr David Adams Cllr Rosalie Adams Cllr Bea Boyland 298 Declarations of Interest & Grants for Dispensation The following members declare non-pecuniary interests in matters relating to: Cllr Colin Taylor – Pentridge Village Hall/Sixpenny Handley Community Charity Organisation Cllr James Reed – Community Land Trust Cllr David Adams – Community Land Trust/Sixpenny Handley Sports Facilities/Sixpenny Handley Village Hall Cllr Rosalie Adams – Sixpenny Handley Village Hall/ Allotment Association/6d Sports Cllr Andy Turner – Community Land Trust 299 Sixpenny Handley Community Land Trust Report See report under Public Open Session. 300 County Councillors Report No report this month. 301 District Councillors Report by Cllr Simon Tong No report this month. 302 Confirm the minutes of the last Full Parish Council Meeting held 21st December 2017.

  • EDAS Journal Vol 4
    DORSET HISTORY ESSAYS, REPORTS, & TRANSCRIPTIONS Edited by John W. Day EDAS Journal Vol 4 Date: 12th September 2015 EAST DORSET ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY Preface This collection of historical essays has been composed by members of the East Dorset Antiquarian Society as part of the 30th anniversary falling March 2013. The society evolved from the Wimborne Educational Association lectures on archaeology by David Johnston and Tim Schadla-Hall and Dorset History by Jude James. Of paramount importance in the inception and growth was Norman Field and Martin Green. Regrettably several founder members have passed away, but Tim still gives us occasional lectures and Martin remains a much valued member. The original 12 member committee were Martin Green, Haydn Everall, Ann Sims, Teresa Hall, Denise Bicheno, Ruth Clipson (who organised a week on Hadrians wall, our first field trip) Sylvia Church, now Mrs Frith (who with Roy played an important part in our excavation of the “magic well” at Hazel Bryant) and Della, membership secretary and myself. Members included Henry Cole, Len and Pam Norris who remain active with us today, and Allan Cosgrove whom we still see about Wimborne and Ian Hewitt now a lecturer at Bournemouth University, who occasionally gives us a talk. Popular was Phil Cole who wrote the most fascinating poems. Currently we are advantaged by Lilian Ladle, Graham Adams, Bryan Popple, Helen Brickell, Peter Walker, Andrew Morgan, Brian Maynard, Dave Stewart, Stephen Smith and Karen Winsor, helping to establish a strong committee in a society of nearly 200 enthused members. Judicious administration ensures a mixture of long standing committee members and new faces, thus bringing fresh blood to a stable group.

  • The Sixpenny Handley Swing Riot of 1830 and My Family History
    The Sixpenny Handley Swing Riot of 1830 and my family history By Mark Wareham Updated 29th November 2010 This ‘riot’ was one of a number of similar uprisings of agricultural labourers which took place in late 1830 and which were attributed to ‘Captain Swing’. The riots were a response to extreme poverty and to a lack of work in rural areas and they took hold particularly in southern counties of the UK like Dorset. The Handley Riot A contemporary etching of a swing riot From “Wiltshire Machine Breakers, Volume 1, by Jill Chambers, 1993” page 72 Thursday 25th November 1830 “A mob of 50 to 60 people gathered in the parish of Handley and from there went to the parish of Berwick St John. Mr Woolridge, occupier of the farm, had taken down his thrashing machine before the mob arrived …. When the mob arrived they demanded victuals and then went out to the field where they used sledge hammers and large sticks to destroy iron parts of the thrashing machine. From Bridmore Farm they moved to Tollard Royal and a farm of Lord Rivers where they destroyed the iron parts of a thrashing machine, a winnowing machine and chaff cutting machine. From there they went to the farm of Charles Lane, Tollard Royal. When Mr Lane remonstrated one, Joseph Chubb, came up to him with a large piece of iron and threatened to beat out his brains if he interfered with them further. The mob then broke Mr Lane’s thrashing machine and chaff cutting machine and burnt the pieces.

  • The Archaeology of Fontmell Down
    The Archaeology of Fontmell Down Fontmell Down, n 2013, as part of a six-year, part-time Continuing Education degree in can be found at Archaeological Studies at Bristol University I undertook a field project examining Fontmell the prehistoric archaeology of Fontmell Down, Fontmell Magna (ST 880 180). Magna, Dorset IThis dramatically positioned spur-end of the Cranborne Chase chalk downlands is owned by the National Trust and exhibits two scheduled cross-ridge dykes (Dorset Gillian Vickery Historic Environment – HER - Monument No 205941). There are wide views across the Blackmore Vale (see Figure 1). Cross-ridge and spur-end dykes (‘cross-dykes’ for short) are stretches of bank and ditch across narrow ridges, usually dated to the Late Bronze Age or the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. There are many examples across the Oxdrove Ridge, of which Fontmell Down is the Western spur. My tutor had not long completed his thesis (Tubb, 2009) on the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age landscape of the Vale of Pewsey. Using the analogy of Giant’s Grave, Martinsell Hill, for example, the obvious disturbance between the cross-dykes might indicate the presence of storage pits and roundhouse platforms, suggesting an occupation site, in which case the breaks in the cross-dykes could be original entrances. Heywood Sumner’s survey of the earthworks of the Cranborne Chase had been published a century before in 1913, and I intended to refer to both these publications in my project. To investigate the archaeology of the site within the prehistory of the Cranborne Chase, I used a variety of geophysics techniques targeting specific areas with equipment generously loaned from the Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society (BACAS) and with the help of members.
