Community Governance Review: The review includes an examination of Town and Parish Ward boundaries and the consequent changes to electoral arrangements. The review criteria offer the opportunity to consider a number of issues including the merging or altering of parishes and wards, the naming of new parishes and wards and the changes in siZe and number of councillors for each ward. The portion of the consultation paper dealing VALE OF ALLEN PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the meeting held 21st October 2014 1021 Minute No 14/102 Parish Clerk’s Report (continued) with recommendations for the Vale of Allen Group of Parishes was circulated to all Councillors. The Parish Council had no objection to the revised ward boundaries and the change of name. Long Crichel and Moor Crichel to be amalgamated and called Crichel Ward. Hinton Martell, Gaunts Common and Hinton Parva to be amalgamated and called Hinton Ward. There was an objection to the reduction in the number of councillors for Gussage All Saints from three to two as constant changes in government legislation has caused an increasing workload for Councillors which would act as a disincentive for new Councillors to put themselves forward to serve on the Parish Council. b. Local Government Boundary Commission: Notification was received of a consultation on the proposals to revise the electoral divisions of Dorset County Council. The document can be viewed on the County Council website – www.consultation.lgbce.org.uk. Refer to the next meeting for a full discussion. c. Ward Budget: The following proposals were put forward for consideration for applying for funding through the Ward Budget i. Telephone Kiosk – The Witchampton Kiosk has been refurbished through fundraising by the Witchampton Community Fund and the work of volunteers. The kiosks at Long Crichel and Hinton Martell were not considered to be a priority at this stage. ii. Witchampton Bus shelter verge – this is an on-going project that has been funded by the Witchampton Community Fund and is not considered to be a priority at this stage. iii. Refurbishment of Fingerposts - this is an on-going project that has been funded by the Witchampton Community Fund and is not considered to be a priority at this stage. iv. Refurbishment of the Rest & be Thankful Seat – the seat requires replacement at an estimated cost of £8,000. Put forward for consideration to the Ward Budget v. Gussage All Saints Village Hall Heating System up-grade. Put forward for consideration to the Ward Budget vi. Defibrillator for the Witchampton Telephone Kiosk. Put forward for consideration to the Ward Budget vii. Handrail on the Gussage All Saints Village Hall Steps. Not considered to be a priority at this stage. d. Knowlton Parish Council: A letter was received from Lisa Goodwin, Clerk to Knowlton Parish Council about the C2 road from the Horton Inn that runs past Stanbridge pumping station which is subject to very heavy traffic flows. The road narrows to a single track at this point and Knowlton Parish Council is looking for support from Vale of Allen Parish Council regarding a request to widen the road. It was resolved to support the proposal to widen the road. e. Grit Bins: Dorset County Council are commencing the filling of grit bins for the coming winter. It was noted that some of the bins are already full but the contents have solidified due to the heavy rains last winter. The County Council will loosen the solidified salt and grit, however the lids blow open when it is windy and the rain gets in again. Cllr Mr T. May agreed to have a look at the bins to see if he could devise some sort of fastening to prevent the lids blowing open. f. Flood Alleviation & Flood Warden Scheme: Cllr Mrs M Cook reported on the meeting with Mr P. Waterman from the County Council Highways VALE OF ALLEN PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the meeting held 21st October 2014 1022 Minute No 14/102 Parish Clerk’s Report (continued) Department, County Councillor Mr S. Butler, Mr Brian Hammond and Mr peter Moseley. Maps for Long Crichel, Moor Crichel, Gussage All Saints, Witchampton and Hinton Martell showing the location of blocked ditches and grips were discussed in detail with Mr Waterman and an agreement was reached that the worst affected areas would be cleared of blockages and if there were any further problems the County Council would have another go at clearing them. Local landowners have been asked to clear ditches located on their land as the County Council will only clear ditches on the roadside verge. g. Dorset Waste Partnership: Consultation on street cleaning and litter was received. The main problem is silt and gravel washing out of the roadside verges and collecting in the road. This causes serious danger of skidding for cyclists and motorcyclists in particular, The problem is caused by heavy farm machinery which breaks down the edges of the verge and destroys the vegetation holding the soil together. h. Planning Seminar: Cllr Ms D. White gave a short report on the DAPTC Planning Seminar held on 9th October 2014. The seminar gave a very comprehensive overview of the planning system but it might have been better if fewer subjects were covered in greater depth. It was useful to have contact with Councillors from other Parishes and to hear answers to their questions. Cllr Mr R. Hill has scanned the presentation notes and e-mailed them to the Councillors who could not attend the seminar. i. Dorset Community Action: Funding Fair provides help for groups raising funds for their community projects. Thursday 6th November at the Learning Resource Centre, King Street, Wimborne. Cllr Mrs M. Cook and Cllr Mr R. Hill eXpressed a wish to attend the workshops. j.

    Groundwater Situation Report Wessex (Dorset & South Wiltshire) Update 12th September 2017 Current situation Current forecast risk of groundwater flooding There are currently no groundwater flood alerts for Salisbury Plain, Cranborne Chase and the West of Dorset. The latest summary of the water situation in the South West, giving details of the rainfall, groundwater levels and river flows, can found on the GOV.UK website. The link to these pages is below: August finished much drier than it started. Overall for the month the long term average (LTA) for August was ‘normal’ at 95% LTA, 62 mm. The rivers responded well to the rainfall and most flows reflect the geographical distribution of the rainfall, drier in the north and west and wetter in the south and east. Most rivers are now ‘normal’ for the time of year though South Newton on the groundwater dominated Chalk is ‘below normal’ for the time of year. The groundwater sites show a mixed response with some groundwater sites responding to the wetter than average summer, 134% LTA, whilst others on the Chalk and Greater Oolite are still ‘notably low. Several boreholes have received significant recharge this month and were still increasing at month end others while still receding are doing so at a lower rate. Sites on the Greater Oolite and Chalk are ‘notably low’ for the time of year. Many others are ‘normal’ with the exception of Kingston Russell Road, situated in the West Dorset catchment, which was ‘notably high’. In the West of Dorset, the level at the Kingston Russell borehole, on 12/09/2017, was 105.760 metres above sea level (mAOD).

  • Ormans of Dorset
    ORMAN family origins in Dorset Jill Coulthard sent me this document about the origins of the Orman name which is common in Verwood in Dorset. She received it from someone with this surname she met at a family history fair. The story tells of how this family of Ormans derived its name from Ormandy (and other spellings) and in particular Miles Ormandy, the parish clerk of Hampreston, a village about 6 miles from Verwood. A Miles Bowness apparently from Windermere, Westmorland, was appointed Vicar of Hampreston in 1614 and it is believed Miles Ormandy was a kinsman who came down to assist him, but which must have been at a much later stage as the only Miles Ormandy (based on the on IGI) was baptised 1612 in Ulverston. Before too many years the family had dropped the DY and become Orman. First Generation 1. Richard Orman (or Ormundie) We found three children of Richard who we are told came to Dorset. SOURCES I.G.I. on net Supposition Richard Orman (or Ormundie) had the following children: 2 i. Miles Orman, born about 1612, Ulverston, Lancashire; married Anne Orman (nee Stevens), on 4 Apr 1638, Hampreston, Dorset. ii. Ursula (Ursella) Orman(dy) was baptized on 5 Oct 1603 in Ulverston, Lancashire. She was buried on 19 Aug 1638 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset. ANY OTHER INFORMATION 1603 Baptised as Ursula Ormundie 1638 Buried as Ursella Ormandy. We have been told by Nick Orman that she is the sister of Miles and James and a kinswoman of Miles Bowness, vicar of Hampreston. He left her £5 and left other sums to her brothers in his will.

  • Nature Conservation and the Planning Process in East Dorset
    NATURE CONSERVATION AND THE PLANNING PROCESS IN EAST DORSET Natural Environment Supplementary Planning Guidance East Dorset District Council 2009 Nature Conservation and The Planning Process in East Dorset NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE MARCH 2009 Policy Planning Division East Dorset District Council Furzehill Wimborne Dorset BH21 4HN Tel: 01202 886201 Fax: 01202 849182 E: [email protected] Website address: www.dorsetforyou.com Foreword The natural environment is one of East Dorset's key assets. The District contains significant areas that receive the highest national and international nature conservation protection for the plants and animals they support; approximately 11% of the District is designated in the East Dorset Local Plan for its particular wildlife importance. Over 2,400 hectares of land in East Dorset lie within sites nationally designated for their Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Many of these sites also include areas of internationally important heathland, rich in rare plant, insect, reptile and bird-life. The rivers of East Dorset contain an abundant diversity of freshwater plant and animal species whilst its chalk downlands and woodlands, particularly those in the north of the District, also possess great wildlife value. This variety of plants and animals is not just important for its wildlife value alone. It also has wider social functions that enhance people's quality of life. For example the 500 hectare Holt Heath National Nature Reserve to the north of Wimborne is one of Dorset's largest remaining areas of lowland heathland. It also includes the semi-natural ancient woodland of Holt Forest and Holt Wood. The Reserve receives some 15,000 annual visitors, attracted not just by its biodiversity but also for its landscape, recreational and educational opportunities.

    Groundwater situation report Wessex (Dorset and South Wiltshire) update 11 January 2016 Current situation There is a flood warning in force for the South Winterbourne Valley; groundwater flood alerts are in force for Cranborne Chase and the West of Dorset. Groundwater on Salisbury Plain is rising but at present is below the flood alert level. The latest summary of the water situation in the south west, giving details of the rainfall, groundwater levels and river flows, can found on GOV.UK. Despite the extreme rainfall across the north of the country, we had 103% of the long term average. As with previous months it was wettest in the west of the patch and driest in the north eastern corner (Salisbury Plain). There have been some periods of significant rain at the beginning of January and this has lead to groundwater levels rising quite sharply. We are seeing all the prominent springs and winterbournes in the West of Dorset and Cranborne Chase flowing. In the West of Dorset, the level at the Kingston Russell borehole, on 11/01/2016, was 116.66 metres above sea level (mAOD). This is just above the flood warning Level. Groundwater levels at Kingston Russell borehole are ranked as "above normal" for this time of year. www.gov.uk/environment-agency On Cranborne Chase, the groundwater level at the West Woodyates borehole is 101.38 mAOD. The highest ever recorded level at the borehole was in January 2014 when it reached 109mAOD. Groundwater levels are ranked currently as "normal". On Salisbury Plain, the current groundwater level in the Tilshead borehole is 86.66mAOD.
