  • Cabinet of 27 July 2021 Public Questions
    Cabinet of 27 July 2021 Public Questions 1. Question from David Nash Those of us who live in the vicinity of the current building in Wimborne Rd, or have to travel along that route at school start and finish times know only too well the impact caused by some 12-15 minibuses, as well as parents providing their own vehicles, used to transport these vulnerable children to and fro. Could you please ask the committee to take this into account when considering the site earmarked for expansion, the old Wimborne 1st that was, as it is located in a very narrow lane (School Lane) leading directly into traffic flowing from the north, Blandford, Cranborne etc., via Stone Lane through and around Wimborne town centre. Parking in West Borough is limited and congested at the best of times. Indeed, this often presented some difficulty / snarl ups at the peak times when the site was still a School. The number of minibuses School Lane could accommodate would be no more than 5, and turning would present a nightmare to both students, parents and members of the public in the Lane at the time. An accident waiting to happen! Access / Egress will have to be drastically improved before the site can be used for this important and very necessary purpose. Does the proposal make provision for addressing the major Health & Safety issues for students, staff, and members of the public, which using the old 1st School will doubtless present, particularly as most students are potentially vulnerable and have to be driven to site by minibus or parental transport? 2.

Many visitors still enjoy traditional seaside activities; swimming and bathing, walking along the promenade, donkey rides, beach games, ice cream, fish and chips...

  • Summer 2018 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch
    Summer 2018 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch Chairman’s Message Well here we are again … and as our President says “what is franchising for?” It appears that it’s not just South Western Railway that are in the mire, with Network Rail taking some of the blame for poor performance, it’s also the Department for Transport, unions with their unpopular strike action, plus - dare we suggest - poor management. In any event, now that the Secretary of State has called a halt to the December 2018 timetable changes, it’s given SWR a way of going back to see if they can re-negotiate their franchise contract. Watch this space, as the saying goes … but it’s a shame the railway has got to this stage, just when it appeared on the surface in 2017 things were going well. Our passengers are feeling the heat (not just due to failed air conditioning!) and they’re understandably losing faith in the rail industry as it strives to do the right thing. There is no doubt that passenger journeys will fall, and this presents us with a challenge: how can Railfuture bring its skills to bear in improving the current poor position? SWR and NR (especially the latter) must improve efficiency but they certainly need more resources, cash and human, if they’re to resolve current maintenance issues – we can all agree the resilience of signalling across the network leaves much to be desired. Long term, a Woking flyover (see page 3) may not be as effective as forecast, because Clapham Junction capacity problems will not have been resolved.
