  • Response to Dorset Local Plan Consultation
    Stourpaine Parish Council – response to Dorset Local Plan consultation This response by Stourpaine Parish Council to the Dorset Council Local Plan consultation has been prepared to focus on aspects of the plan that do or could have an impact on the parish of Stourpaine and its inhabitants. We have not covered many of the more general issues in the plan. Section 1 – Introduction In October 2013, an update to the 2007 Stourpaine Parish Plan was published following a period of extensive consultation and research among the resident population. A range of issues were covered which included asking residents what they liked about living in Stourpaine. A significant proportion of residents (44% of 188 adults responding) stated spontaneously that they considered the surrounding countryside to be very beautiful and access to essential facilities in neighbouring towns is easy. A comprehensive assessment of the landscape and character of parish of Stourpaine is detailed in the Strategic Landscape and Heritage Study for the North Dorset Area, Assessment of land surrounding the larger villages, Prepared by LUC for Dorset Council, October 2019. As stated in the report “This study provides robust and up-to-date evidence to feed into the local plan (the current draft Dorset Local Plan) to help inform the scale, form and location of future development to minimise harm to the landscape, heritage assets and the historic character and setting of the settlements within the North Dorset area”. This report clearly describes the key landscape features of Stourpaine as follows: “The village and its surrounds are located within three different Landscape Character Areas.

  • Blandford Forum Branch Is Closing on Friday 7 June 2019
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Blandford Forum branch is closing on Friday 7 June 2019 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Blandford Forum branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 81% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 19% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 25% of this branch's customers have been using neighbouring branches. • We've identified that only 121 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Chris Maynard, your Community Banking Director for Solent & Dorset.
