Congratulations to Dorset County Council who have just been awarded the grade of "EXCELLENT" in the countries latest performance figures of councils (only 22 councils in the country achieved this rating). This means that DCC will have greater flexibility in its spending powers to continue the good job they do.

Bus Times - the current timings of the B3 Service to Bridport are scheduled to change in late February. On the plus side this means we will get an hourly bus service to the town. (timings to be confirmed) However it does mean the current 08:12hrs bus will go to Bridport at the earlier time of 07:50hrs, so it means a slightly earlier start for you early morning bus users! If you have any views on bus timings or any other transport issues, please contact Cllr. Darren Batten on 897944.
