Bradford Abbas

The postmaster at Cerne Abbas has informed us that, because he has two members of staff in the at risk category, he will be unable to provide a service here until the Coronavirus situation changes.

This is of course very disappointing for our community .

The following 2020 Parish Council Meetings are CANCELLED:

  7th April Ordinary Parish Council Mtg

  7th April Annual Parish Mtg

  5th May Annual Council Mtg     

• Bin collection service during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
   
• Suspension of Council car-parking charges during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
   
• Chris Loder, MP has written to all the Parish Councils in the West Dorset Parliamentary Constituency concerning coronavirus in Dorset.

Between 18 May 2020 and 5 June 2020, the roads highlighted on the attached map are scheduled for surface dressing.

These sites will form a rolling programme that is weather dependent and liable to change.

The attached videos show two incidents where the runoff from the field into Back lane caused considerable damage that has - for the time-being at least - been remedied by the farm management company and Dorset County.

The Interpretation Board, which stands in the village near the War Memorial, is the result of an idea put into action by Bradford Abbas History Society. 

Angela Haigh, Chair of the History Society,  tells us the story of the Interpretation Board for which we have to thank Derek Hayward for all the hard work he put in to make it finally happen, together with several very generous funders.

Roll of Honour Missing Names

The Parish Council has committed to adding the missing names to the War Memorial on Church Street.
 

Our Rights of Way Liaison Officer has put together an illustrated summary of footpaths in, into, and out of the village.
