POLICING COUNCIL TAX CONSULTATION
Dear resident
Today, I have launched a consultation to seek your views on whether to raise the Policing element of the Council Tax for 2016/17. The consultation can be found here and I would encourage you to take part to ensure your views are taken into account.
Please share this email with friends and family who live in the area – it is vital I hear from as many Dorset residents as possible.
Martyn Underhill
Dorset Police & Crime Commissioner
DORSET COUNTY COUNCIL has issued a Notice under Section 14 [2] of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, as amended. All vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along Dinah’s Hollow, Melbury Abbas from the junction with B3081, Higher Blandford Road, Cann Common to the junction with West Lane, Melbury Abbas, a distance of approximately 1,000 metres. The Notice is needed in order to comply with Health and Safety Regulations, which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to Highway Users. It will come into operation on Monday 18 January 2016 for 5 days.
For more information please see the attached notice –
Over the weekend of 2nd and 3rd January 2016 there has been a break to the disabled riding school at Holton Lee, Holton Heath, Wareham.
Offenders have stolen specialist harnesses, tack and saddles that had been recently delivered. The charity are obviously distressed as this means they are currently unable to help the sixty plus people a week that come to them.
If anyone has any information or is offered any quick release harnesses for sale, then please contact Dorset Police on 101 quoting incident 55160001345
If you are able to assist in any other way, then please reply via this e mail and I will pass any offers of help to the charity.
Please also remember to get your equipment marked and consider your security around your horses and buildings.
