Today, 27-04-2021 the Winterborne Whitechurch play park was closed for maintenance. It will be open again tomorrow. The chin up bars, netball post and chain-walk have been removed.
There is already a new notice that we were required to put up. The monkey bars will be replaced like-for-like and the chain-walk will be replaced with a play tractor for younger children.
There will be a meeting, led by the Parish Council, regarding the proposed Cafe, Parking Area, Toilets and Charging station along with the Solar Farm before the next Council Meeting on Wednesday the 10th March 2021 at 18:30. This is (as all our meetings are) open to the public and will be held on Zoom due to current restrictions. Please contact the Clerk in advance to access this meeting.
It will be attended by your Councilors and Naturalis (who represent https://www.regpower.co.uk/ and https://www.falckrenewables.com/ (Vector Cuatro Group)).
Following the meeting the normal parish council meeting will commence which Naturalis will not attend which the public are also invited to.

We are currently recruiting for volunteers – we are a small and friendly team who spend an hour at a time on the roads of Winterborne Whitechurch with a speed tracking device. We record the speed of cars passing through the village which are 20% or more above the speed limit, then pass this information to the police. This is then used by the police to contact the drivers.
We have recorded speeds of 56mph in our 30mph zones.
Occasionally we are joined by Dorset Police on the roadside (“Truecam”) who not only contact the drivers but also issue points and fines.
We really want to keep this scheme going as it is a high visibility reminder that we care about the speeding issue in our village, but in order to do so we need volunteers.
Please contact the Clerk for more information.
Good news, after a successful inspection the park has been opened. It has been deep cleaned but please follow the advice on the signs around the park.
As we celebrate the pub opening and other restrictions being lifted, please bare with us as we are not yet allowed to open the play park. We will do so as soon as we are allowed to, however until that time we appreciate your patience.
