If you were not there, you might find it hard to believe that a topic so grim could also have much light relief. Four men who had had four different types of Cancer talked to an all-male group about their symptoms, treatment, side effects and results. For me, what was most instructive were their replies to the question ‘What, with the benefit of hindsight, might you have done differently.’ Some answers were what you might expect: predominantly seeing doctors sooner. Others stressed using everything within your means to ensure that the medical profession examined your case thoroughly, particularly pressing hard if there were possible delays. What I found very enlightening was the emphasis they placed upon spouses and he Parish Council recently managed an application for partners and their need for support, particularly as they too had Section 106 funds from West Dorset District Council. been very seriously affected.

The Council has recently significantly improved the playground at the Playing Field in Barrs Lane with the addition of several new pieces of equipment for the younger members of the community.

Keller ABSTRACT Inclusion of local knowledge in decision-making is recognized as important for land-use planning. However, this is prevented by communication constraints. Increasingly local communities throughout the world are using community mapping and simple Geographic Information Technologies (GIT) to communicate information about traditional lands to decision­ makers. This corresponds to the trend, primarily in North America, for practitioners to apply Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies in public participation settings. Claims have been made that use of Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) by disadvantaged groups can be empowering. However, others claim that PPGIS is disempowering due to the cost and complexity of the technologies, inaccessibility of data, restrictive representation of local geographic information, and the low level of community participation.

  • Coastal Defence
    Dorset Marine and Coastal Topic Paper Series 2010 Coastal Defence Dorset has a dynamic coastline: in the past, uninterrupted coastal processes created some of its most beautiful and important features . However, the issue of coastal retreat in this area was first recorded in 1366 at Highcliffe. Erosion and flooding by the sea are hazardous to property and infrastructure on the coast, and so there will always be demands for coastal defence works to protect property. This will mean that natural processes are inevitably interrupted. Data regarding climate change and sea level rise (SLR) suggest that these natural processes will accelerate during the 21st century and this will place greater pressure on both available finances and engineering solutions. Balancing the desire to protect property whilst maintaining the integrity of the natural coast requires creative engineering solutions, and difficult decisions have to be made about where and how to protect. • Coast protection works which protect the processes in neighbouring coastal against erosion. This is where the process units. land behind the works is higher than Sediment cell is a term frequently used any expected tidal flooding level. with regards to Shoreline Management These works are carried out under the Plans.

The C7 Bere Road has an southeast to northwest alignment and connects to the A35 Poole Road at Woodbury Cross to the East of Bere Regis and to the A351 Sandford Road at north Wareham. The junction of the C7 Bere Road with the A35 is a well designed and built priority junction having a standard single carriageway with a right turn lane. Visibility at, and of the junction is very good. It is covered by the national speed limit. This section of the A35 is identified as a Regional Route, and leads within a very short distance to Bere Regis and the junction with the A31 Primary Route Network from the East and the A35 continuation of the A35 west which then becomes Primary Route Network. The southern end of Bere Road joins the A351 Sandford Road just north of Wareham at a well-designed roundabout. This in turn connects to the Wareham bypass to the south which provides suitable access to a processing site at Furze Brook to the south (not part of this submission) but involved in processing Ball Clay from the Trigon Hill site.

  • The West Dorset Fossil Collecting Code of Conduct
    The West Dorset Fossil Collecting Code of Conduct Developing a Code of Conduct A Working Group of landowners, conservation organisations, museum curators and local fossil collectors has developed this Fossil Collecting Code. The Group was established in order to address growing conflicts of interest with regard to fossil collecting along the West Dorset coast. The Group recognises the essential need for fossil collecting to continue. However, it also recognises that collecting must be carried out in such a way as to satisfy all those with an interest in our fossil heritage. This Code, though specifically aimed at professional and dedicated amateur collectors, also applies to all those who come here to collect fossils, whether for study or recreation. The safest and best advice, particularly for inexperienced collectors and educational groups, is that they should restrict their activities to the beaches alone. Advice to this effect is provided by interpretation signs, leaflets and the services of the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre. The Code has been developed by: Jurassic Coast project (Dorset County Council) English Nature The National Trust West Dorset Heritage Coast Project Charmouth Parish Council Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre Dorset and Somerset Museum Services Local fossil collectors The Geology and Fossils of the West Dorset coast The West Dorset coast contains one of the finest exposures of rocks from the Lower and Mid Jurassic Period to be found anywhere in the world. High erosion rates, particularly in the winter, ensure a plentiful supply of fossils onto the beaches. This coast is one of the best sources of marine Jurassic aged fossils in the world and numerous important finds have been and continue to be made here.
