Planning
Consultation:
1/W/2002/0603 The Orchard Plot, Gages Lane. Erect new dwelling, garage and vehicular access.
1/W/2002/0654 Bredy Lane Farm. Change of use from agriculture to non-motorised recreation.
Young Peoples Group
If you have a spare couple of hours on a Friday evening, why not come along and oversee the activities of the village youngsters? They meet in the Reading Room (or often in the Playing Fields!) 7.00 - 9.30pm. So if you fancy a game of football with them, we need a few volunteers just to be there to 'supervise' as and when they are needed. The young people run their own group, but will let us older folk join in!
Any Other Business?
Stephanie Sutton, the Bridport Town Coordinator, gave a presentation on the future of Burton Bradstock as part of the bigger picture.! There is adequate funding in place for us to work alongside Bridport to research what we want our village to be like in the long term? Do we have sufficient housing needs, schooling, healthcare, transport, sports facilities in Bridport and the surrounding Parishes? This is our chance, as part of the ongoing "Market and Coastal Towns Initiative" to voice our concerns. Please feel free to contact any Parish councilor if you have any ideas...
