Temporary Traffic Management Order - Tarrant Hinton & Tarrant Gunville area for the Great Dorset Steam Fair 2018
The Great Dorset Steam Fair (GDSF) is a well-established event, and since 1988 it has been located at Tarrant Hinton, off the A354, approximately 3 miles north-east of Blandford Forum. To reduce the impact of the event on the travelling public, the DCC Highways Traffic Team has produced a Temporary Traffic Management Order which imposes a 30mph speed limit, a prohibition of overtaking and a clearway on the A354 in the vicinity of the site. The temporary speed limit and the overtaking ban are measures that reduce accident potential and conflicts with vehicles manoeuvring into and out of the site. And the clearways prevent waiting or parking on the highway verges to allow the whole width of the highway to be available for the travelling public. A public notice is displayed on the Parish Council noticeboard and as attached below - Parish Clerk 08/08/18

Consultation on remote control parking and motorway assist
On 19 December 2017, the Department for Transport launched a consultation on plans to amend regulations and the Highway Code.The consultation asks for your views on proposed changes to the Highway Code, which would allow the use of remote control parking and motorway assist.These changes will help us safely take advantage of the benefits of automated vehicles.
Request to complete Dog Consultation - North Dorset Parish and Town Councils
The Parish Council was contacted in July 2017 regarding proposed changes to the dog related control orders in North Dorset. This contact was considered timely due to complaints from residents concerning the dog fouling on the Glebe (village green), public footpaths and pavements/roads within the village.
The Parish Council is being asked to consider the proposals and complete the survey which can be found at www.dorsetforyou.com/north/your-say-dogs-north. Parishioners are also being urged to complete the survey - link above.
Under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 the current dog control order has become a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) – however, this relates only to the clearance of fouling. The consultation seeks opinions on whether further controls across North Dorset should be provided. The district council is required to consult every three years to ensure that a PSPO continues to be current and appropriate. Following the 12 week consultation period, results will be published online, and will guide district councillors’ decision making for the PSPO relating to dog control in North Dorset.The survey will close on 2 March 2018 at 5 pm and will be reported to NDDC Overview and Scrutiny Committee and Cabinet in due course.

Dear resident
CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY
I have launched my consultation on whether the policing element of Council Tax should be raised in Dorset. In the last five years, Dorset Police’s budget has been cut by £19m in real terms by central Government and will continue to be cut by £1m every year for the next three years.
The Chief Constable has formally requested that I raise the precept to allow the Force to meet the challenges facing policing. A maximum rise of £3.80 per year in Council Tax would generate £1.07m income, meaning we would have roughly the same amount of money as this year, taking into account our ongoing government cuts.
Last year, over 4,000 residents responded to the consultation with 82% supporting a rise. This money was invested in:
* Employing extra investigators dedicated to investigating child abuse and protecting vulnerable children.
* Helping to create a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub with partners such as councils and the NHS, to increase joined-up working to protect vulnerable people.
* Increasing the number of officers in the cybercrime intelligence and investigation team, and enhancing the software available to them to identify sexual and violent offenders.
* Recruitment of a dedicated cyber-crime prevention officer to educate businesses and residents on staying safe online.
* Relaunching the Dorset Police website to make it easier to access information, interact with local Neighbourhood Policing Teams and to report crime online.
If Council tax were to be raised in 2017/18, this would be invested in:
* Protecting adults at risk of harm: Including enhancing our ability to prevent and investigate abuse of older people, which is a trend in Dorset and nationally.
* Improving our response to common, non-emergency types of crime: Investing in Appointment Cars to visit victims and take details at prearranged times.
* Continue to embrace new technology: Including further enhancements to Dorset Police’s website, such as the ability to make payments online rather than by post.
I would welcome your feedback on this important topic and hope you are able to spare a few minutes to share your views. Please click here to be taken to the survey. Thank you for your support.

Following on from previous communication about proposed changes to the mobile library service, the County Council’s Cabinet meeting yesterday, it was agreed to:
1. note the consultation responses about the proposed changes to the mobile library service;
2. maintain the mobile library service provided by the County Council to residential homes and sheltered accommodation units; and
3. approve the closure of the public mobile library service by end of December 2016 (earliest) and by end of March 2017 (latest) and the development of alternative access to library services where required within the resources available.
The reasons for the timescale is to ensure that alternative service provision for those users who cannot travel to a library is put in place before the withdrawal of the mobile library service. We will also ensure that mobile library users are kept informed about the changes to service provision.
The Clinical Commissioning Group has been set up to review how Dorset's health services will operate in the future. To find out more click here
