Welcome
This website aims to become a source of information for both the local community and those planning to visit or actually visiting this fantastic part of Dorset. We really need the local community to become involved by sending us news of forthcoming events, reports on recent events and photographs. The website has been designed to be interactive by allowing you to use the Contact Us page to send us some news, feedback or to ask a question. The editor of the website will respond to the messages you leave or add your information. There is also an opportunity for you to join our e-mailing list through the contact us section. If you do so we will email you a copy of the Parish Council minutes together with any other information that we feel may be of interest. A very important section of this website is devoted to the development of the Neighbourhood Plan (Y&RINP) (NB: the Parish Plan has moved to the Parish Council pages) and is where information relating to this can be viewed. The Village Notice Board, gives information on notifications that the Parish Council has received and details of activities likely to affect the parish and there is also a link to the Village Facebook Page. Details of Road Closure Notices are also available on the Village Notice board.

LAST CHANCE – LAST CHANCE – LAST CHANCE
We want to hear from you!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO TELL US WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN –
DEADLINE MONDAY 19TH OCTOBER !!!!!
After all the hard work that has been done we now need to make sure that the plan is right as it describes the vision for our villages for the ensuing 16 years and will have a lasting impact for decades beyond that. We are consulting on the plan during the 6 weeks from Monday September 7th to Monday 19th October and this is an important opportunity for you to read the plan and tell us what you think about it. Details on the consultation and how you can read the plan and the supporting documents can be found here.
YOUR VIEWS ARE IMPORTANT AND MATTER!

All Club events use Social Distancing and follow Government Coronavirus Guidelines and a full Covid Risk Assessment has been carried out
Contact the new team at ycsc@btinternet.com
Parish Councillor Vacancies
We currently have a vacancy so please contact the Clerk if you are interested in becoming a Councillor. We normally meet on the first Wednesday of the month unless otherwise advertised and Councillors also sit on at least one sub-committee.
Community Speed Watch
The Speed Watch team have been very effective in encouraging motorists to drive more considerately through the village. However, a lack of volunteers is limiting the number of patrols that can be made. Please use the contact form if you would be interested in joining the team.
Website
The website has been given a face lift and the new format is designed to be more accessible and to be easier to move around in. We value your feedback on the changes – please use the contact us page to give us your view and also to provide details of any changes that you feel are needed and to update information on your clubs, activities and events in the Parish.
