Waste Transfer Site

A site on Burton Road (adjacent to Wych Farm Water Works) had again been put forward as the proposed site for SITA's Waste Transfer Site. This application has now been 'deferred' whilst other sites are investigated.  If you have any views on this matter please contact Cllr.Leon Sea (01308 898224) to discuss the issue.  The detailed plans are available for viewing in the village Library. We need to keep up the pressure to stop this development happening!

 

Road Safety

The speed of traffic throughout the village is a cause for concern.  We are currently investigating the feasibility of a 20mph speed limit and possible traffic calming methods throughout the village.  If you have any thoughts on this matter please contact Cllr. Jim Harding.

 

Any Other Business?

New Dial-a-Ride service to Burton Bradstock - This new bus service for individuals that for any reason CANNOT use public transport will be available from Friday 4th June 2004.  For details of this service please see the BVN and posters in village stores.  Any questions, please contact Cllr. Leon Sea.
