Produced by the West Moors Parish Plan Steering Committee 2007 1. INTRODUCTION Background to Parish Plans The Government’s Rural White Paper “Our Countryside, the Future” (2000) proposed that all rural communities should develop “Town, Village and Parish Plans” to identify key facilities and services and to set out the problems that needed to be tackled with a view to demonstrating how distinctive character and features could be preserved. This was followed by the Countryside Agency launching its “Vital Villages” programme in 2001. The goal of the programme was to achieve socially and economically active rural communities that address their own priorities making them better equipped to shape their own futures. Parish Plans form part of this programme and funding for this initiative came from Dorset Community Action A Parish Plan should address the needs of the entire community and an important aspect of this is that everyone should be given the opportunity to take part in its preparation.

  • Village Trail
    1/13/2019 Village Trail - West Moors Parish Council Home Council Information Community Information Contact Village Trail . This 'trail' is an attempt to describe some of the features in West Moors - based on a journey from south to north along Station Road, then a diversion down Pinehurst Road. There are some snippets of history buried in the script which show that there's more to the village than might be supposed! Until the middle of the 19th century what we now call Station Road was a parish maintained trackway, dry and dusty in a hot summer, muddy & rutted in wet weather, frosted or snow covered in a bitter winter. It was used to connect the various farms in this rather out-of-the-way corner of the old West Parley parish with the Ringwood - Wimborne turnpike. Even with the arrival of a railway in 1847 little changed. It needed the opening of a railway station in 1867 to encourage better maintenance of the track - and for it to gain a name! The station has long disappeared but the name remains and (as the B3072) now forms the 'spine' of the community and acts as a through route to Verwood. STATION ROAD: from the Uddens to The Petwyn . MAP The southern boundary of the civil parish of West Moors closely follows the alignment of Uddens Water (since 2015 the boundary was moved slightly to the south and it now runs, in part, along the A31), crossed here by a relatively modern bridge; the waterway takes its name from the former Uddens House & Estate lying to the west, through which this tributary of the Moors River flows.
