FROM THE DIOCESE OF SALISBURY
A street art installation in Salisbury’s High Street features the words “WHAT IF WE…”
emblazoned across the top of a blackboard. Passers-by are invited to chalk their hopes and
aspirations beneath. I read through the responses this morning and some of them made me
smile. One reads “What if we… all had more ice-cream”. That gets my vote. Another reads
“What if we… had an underground skate park”. Niche. Many more are really heartening, the
sorts of pleas for peace, reconciliation and environmental sustainability that are a feature of
most church intercessions boards.
This year I have had the privilege of chairing the Diocesan Vacancy in See Committee. We
have now produced our statement of what we believe we need in our new Bishop. I am hugely
grateful to the Committee’s members for their strenuous efforts in its compilation. One of the
disciplines we had to learn as we worked was that of reminding ourselves that we were not
embarked upon a churchy version of that piece of art. We were not setting out a wish list of
everything that would be “nice to have” in a new Bishop
No: our task was to discern what we might need in a new Bishop. That is a very different
exercise because it starts from a very different place. It starts not with our agenda, but with
God’s. “He measures us by our needs, and we must not measure Him by our impatience”, as
Jeremy Taylor writes.
Accordingly, after much prayer and widespread consultation, we have prioritised ve qualities.
We believe we need a holy bishop, a visionary bishop, a courageous bishop, a unifying bishop,
and a visible bishop. Yet because the agenda is God’s and not ours we know that when our
new Bishop is appointed s/he may be all of those things – and may still tell us things we don’t
wish to hear and lead us down paths we have not yet followed
We pray that the six Diocesan representatives who will serve on the Crown Nominations
Commission will work effectively with their colleagues from the national Church to realise God’s
will for our needs. And if the next Bishop of Salisbury gives us all more ice-cream then I for one
will not be complaining

Parish News July 2021
FROM THE DIOCESE OF SALISBURY
This month brings a signi cant change in the life of the Diocese with the departure of Bishop
Nicholas. We give thanks for his ministry and all that he and Helen have been amongst us,
and we pray for them as they move to pastures new. Bishop Nicholas has steered us
through some signi cant times during which we have had an emphasis on praying, serving,
and growing as we have sought to renew hope inside and outside the church. Politically
there has been much to bring theological insight too including Brexit and the Salisbury
poisonings and of course there has been the increasing urgency of environmental
awareness as we steward God’s wonderful world. All these and much more have demanded
Diocesan and national engagement and commitment
In one way we now enter a time of waiting as those from the Diocese elected to the Crown
Nomination Commission, with others, begin the task of discerning who God might be calling
to be the next Diocesan Bishop. Yet Christians are not called to complacency, and the
expectation of the arrival of a new Bishop needs to be balanced by a commitment to the
tasks in hand, and the continuous joining in with all that God is doing in our midst. As we
emerge from the pandemic there is a calling to take stock, to do the looking back and looking
forward to see what we have valued and want to retain, or where things need to be different;
there is a real need to address some of the challenges including the affordability of ministry
and how we can properly resource a changing church with realism; and there is an
opportunity to celebrate the new things that God is doing and join in with them
In this time of change, I therefore invite you to join with me in the interim as we tackle some
of these challenges and opportunities together. As we do so we can be encouraged by the
helpful instructions given to the Church in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 5: 16 -18) ‘Rejoice
always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of Christ
Jesus for you’

BENEFICE OF WEST PURBECK
Being Stil
Last week summer nally arrived and
fortuitously Naj and I had booked a few days
away in Torquay. A long-awaited break. I felt
rather like a butter y emerging from a cocoon
exposing my newly unfurled wings to the
sunlight. We were blessed with a hotel pool
which meant I could swim every day which
was glorious. Exploring beautiful Dartmouth
was an adventure which necessitated
extensive use of little ferry boats to cross the
river and to return from the castle walk. The
best moment, however, was just sitting by the
riverside with music drifting over from the park
behind us, the sun on our skin and the
spectacle of life on the river to observe. This
moment of stillness was a balm to my soul. It occurred to me that taking time to stop, observe
and enjoy was something I’d been missing in the busy activities of Lockdown.
Just “being” in the moment helps me to connect with God and open up to him. I can re ect on
events and put things in perspective and just be. I am a natural “doer” and have long been
aware that this lack of balance with just “being” means I run out of energy, inspiration and
peace. Mindfulness is very topical today but interestingly it has been part of Christian practise
for centuries including meditation and living in the moment. The bible tells us that being still
before God brings peace to our mind, heart and spirit and we do it in His company. “Be still,
and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 NRSVA.
One of my heroines who truly
mastered resting in the presence
of God and just being was Dame
Julian who lived in the 14 th
century in Norwich. She wrote a
book called “Revelations of
Divine Love” which is a beautiful
re ection on God’s in nite love
for us. She lived in isolation
devoting herself to prayer and
offered spiritual counsel to others.
Even though her horizons were
limited her soul and mind were
open to the widest view of the
God in the world and she wrote
“the fullness of joy is to behold
God in everything.”
So, giving yourself time to just “be” is important for our emotional and spiritual well-being and I
am sure helps our bodies to relax as well.

KEITH WALKS THE WALL
As you read this article our interim priest, Canon Keith Hugo, should be somewhere in the
middle of his challenging week-long trek. He will be walking along Hadrian’s Wall national
trail from June 28th. It’s 84 miles; the middle part is somewhat hilly. An admirable effort for a
retired priest! Why is he doing this you ask? He obviously enjoys walking but, on a more
serious note, he is helping to raise funds for our four local churches.
COVID Restrictions prevented any joint fundraising over the past 15 months, and collection
plates have remained empty due to COVID restrictions on services in church. Therefore,
Keith has offered an alternative. He is undertaking this sponsored walk on our behalf. So,
you may be pleased to learn that we are not asking you to walk with him (!) but to be
generous and sponsor him. The money raised will be put into our joint Parish Account. This
is used to pay for things like the Bibles and books that are presented to Year 6 pupils when
they leave the school. It also supplements the costs of keeping our four churches open,
enabling us to have regular services, baptisms, marriages and funerals.
In 2019 the popular jazz evening raised over £1000, and our target is to raise a similar
amount in sponsorship. Keith Hugo, who has retired from full time duty, has helped us
enormously while we have suffered not only the problems of Covid but also a period without
a resident Priest.
A generous response would be a big thank you for his efforts

COMPASSION UK
Café Church Service
The theme at our June Café Church service was God’s compassion for us all but especially
the vulnerable, the oppressed, the sick and particularly children in need. Part of the service
was a presentation by Paul Wagstaff who described the work of the Christian children’s
charity Compassion. The meaning of compassion is to recognise the suffering of others and
then take action to help. This Charity’s aim is to help vulnerable children using a one-to-one
child sponsorship model. You can read more on the web site www.CompassionUK.org
Sponsorship is 92p per day.
Working in partnership with local churches in developing countries, Compassion link children
in critical need with a caring sponsor through every stage of their childhood. More than
86,000 people sponsor a child through Compassion UK.
If you would like to know any more, please contact CompassionUK directly; their phone
number is 01932 836490 or email ‘info@compassionuk.org’. Susan and I can also provide
more details as St Christopher’s Church and other members of the congregation, have been
supporting children for many years. Our phone number is 01929-400-259
Café Church on July 4th. The theme is ‘Friendship’. Due to extended COVID restrictions this
service will be online rather. It is hoped that the August 1 service will be in Winfrith Village
Hall when bacon rolls (and a vegetarian alternative) will be served.

LOCAL HISTORY
Walter Barnes - a Local Man of Winfrit
This brief biography of a local character featured in the January 1957 edition of Two Villages
magazine
“A well-known gure in Winfrith and District having worked at Manor Farm for over 60 years,
and his father before him. Born in February 1884, Walter started work at the age of 12 as a
carter’s for 2/6d per week
In those days there were 6 carters employed each with 3 horses, and the competition for a
good turnout was very keen. Walter has seen many changes in Winfrith, and even more in
farming methods. In his day, a carter walked many miles and roads were far from good.
Wagons and horses would set out to Bere Regis to fetch hurdles or to Wool station to fetch
supplies and often as far as Dorchester
When the steam engines arrived for
ploughing, all their water and coal had to be
carted to the scene of operation, entailing
many journeys backward and forward. At the
end of a long day there were always the
horses to see to before nishing and of course
the stabling to do on Sundays. A carter’s wage
in those days was 12- per week
Unfortunately, Walter has been off work since
August but is very much better. His chief
enjoyments are his pipe, and the radio with TV
occasionally. He has always been a keen
gardener
His only son is also at Manor Farm as a dairyman, and his daughter also married, is well
known in Winfrith and takes an active part in the life of the village. I am sure all readers of “Two
Villages” will join in wishing Walter a complete return to good health in the new year and a very
happy birthday (73rd) in February.
Biographical Note
Walter hailed from Winfrith Newburgh and was born on 24 February 1884, he married Eliza
Rolls (of West Lulworth) at Winfrith church in April 1908. The 1939 register lists them at 12
High Street, Winfrith
Walter passed away in 1960 aged 76 and was buried at Winfrith churchyard. His wife, Eliza
died in 1972 aged 88

FARM AND FIELD
I make no apologies for returning to the weather again, as it continues to be as ckle as ever.
April’s cold, dry spell was indeed followed by a wet and windy May, so that although rst cut
silages were late, there has been some excellent regrowth ready for second cuts. The other
extraordinary feature was the wind we suffered on May 25th which has left its mark
throughout our area as it was suf cient to lift salt from the sea, which was really bad news for
any trees and hedges in the path of the gale. The south sides of any hawthorn hedges are
now black with shrivelled leaves and the apple trees in my garden have hardly a leaf left on
them. I don’t think the trees will die but they will certainly have a new shape by the end of the
tear
I was re ecting on other storms we have suffered
over the years, and there was a bad one in
October 1987 which did enormous damage
throughout the south of England and northern
France as the trees were still in full leaf. Great
swathes of forest were demolished during this
gale. Another I remember clearly was in January
1990 which destroyed so many caravans at
Durdle Door (before they were all wired down on
concrete pads) that there was a trail of breglass
matting all the way down to Lulworth village. This
storm picked up a lot of salt as well and hammered it into my wheat elds, destroying large
areas of the crop, leaving behind a few plants which were hiding behind stones or clods. A
friend’s eld of wheat on the cliff top at Kimmeridge was completely eliminated
August gales can also do enormous damage, although plant breeders have managed to
breed varieties with stronger straw and ears of corn which are less prone to emptying their
seeds on the ground if rattled about in a gale. The capacity of modern combine harvesters to
lift attened crops and cover large areas as soon as the crop is ripe has also made harvest
much safer. This ef ciency is one of the reasons why there has been a decline in farmland
birds; very little is left behind to feed them after harvest. Modern weedkillers are also so
ef cient that few weeds survive in a crop. It is easy to blame farmers for destroying wildlife,
but all they are doing is maximising production, and many have planted strips of seed-
bearing plants in an attempt to support the bird population.
Retirement means many hours working in the
garden, where the late spring seems to have been
good for garden owers, and particularly roses. A
bonus is more time to walk the pastures on the
coastal strip, and what a joy it is this year, with large
areas of kidney vetch, more Bee Orchids than I have
ever seen, and an orchestra of Skylarks to keep you
company. While hordes of people pass by on route
for Durdle Door beach, with BBQ’s and radios, they
are missing out on this beautiful piece of creation

therefore, have cancelled this meeting,
which would have featured a talk from Paul

Career con artist Roy Courtnay (McKellen) can hardly believe his luck when he meets well-to-
do widow Betty McLeish (Mirren) on-line. As Betty opens her home and life to him, Roy is
surprised to nd himself caring about her, turning what should be a cut-and-dry swindle into
the most treacherous tightrope walk of his life
If you haven’t seen “The Good Liar” before then you don’t want to miss this opportunity to
catch it. If you have seen it before then here is the perfect opportunity for you to check up on
those important details you might have missed rst time round
The lm will be shown at Winfrith Village Hall on Monday 25 October, timings and ticket

Artsreach returns to Winfrith in Augus
Save the date of Saturday 14 August for the return of Artsreach to Winfrith, when The Bash
Street Theatre Group will be performing their acclaimed show “The Cameraman” at an out-
door event on the Winfrith School playing eld
Bash Street has an international reputation for staging fast moving, silent comedy shows with
live music and narration to keep you up to speed. “The Cameraman” is set in the future with a
jaded journalist looking back at the extraordinary events of the 2020s, complete with fake
news, global pandemics and mass extinction
The show is suitable for all ages so, with ngers’ crossed for good weather, come along to
Winfrith School eld with a picnic (there will also be a bar on site) at 6.00pm on 14 August
and the show will start at 7.00
Tickets will be available from Winfrith Village Stores nearer the time or from Peter Hyde on

OUT AND ABOUT WITH LULWORTH RANGERS
Team News
It’s been a busy month for our Beach Warden Team and hard work in temperatures in the
low twenties. They really have been an asset to the team, dealing with busy beaches, litter,
and rst aid incidents. Having a new information point at Durdle Door is the rst point of
contact for a lot of our visitors engaging on a whole host of subjects and a great way to catch
them with barbecues in tow as well! We’ve been working really well to keep on top of the
litter, undertaking more frequently and in different shifts, whether it be early morning or late
evening
Look out for the 5G information signs going up along the coast. This is part
of a trial of broadcasting signal from wave buoys transmitting live data by
5G on sea state from just off the coast. This will hopefully improve
network connections in Dorset going into the future
It has been brought to our attention that local owners of ducks have been releasing them at
the Millpond ‘’for a swim’’ and taking then home again. Harmless, you may think. At the end
of 2020 there was an outbreak of Avian In uenza, and poultry keepers are being asked to
remain vigilant to help prevent the spread by keeping domestic birds from having contact
with wild birds and habitats. On Gov.uk there is a list of preventative measures people can
take
Other works this month have included Rights of Way strimming and mowing, now that the
vegetation has new vigour after much needed rain. Step maintenance was urgently required
on the east-side of Hambury Tout near the farm, with the repair of the handrail.
Our herd of 14 cows have been moved back to Winfrith/
Blacknoll and Knighton Heath. These were taken off
following some much needed fence repairs in various
locations. Then the tracker cow managed to slip its
tracking collar, not as easy a thing to nd with the radio
tracker when there isn’t a cow attached to it! They will
be on these areas until Bracken spraying commences
in mid-July.

OUT AND ABOUT WITH LULWORTH RANGERS
Wildlife Spotter
June has been a fantastic month for wildlife spotting. The slopes at Durdle Door are awash with
purple from the Viper’s-bugloss, and if you look a little closer you can see the lime green of
Portland Spurge owers amongst it. What a colour combination the two make. In addition to
this, the Bugloss is the ‘holy grail’ of nectar for insects, a chance to get a closer look. We have
seen plenty of Lulworth Skipper, Small Blue, Common Blue, Painted Lady Butter ies and Six-
spot Burnet Moths feasting on these. Adonis Blue are still on the wing and should be until the
beginning of July
One of our Beach Wardens spotted a Cream-spot Tiger Moth near Durdle Door. These stunning
Moths are found in a wide range of habitats which include cliff-tops. Also, more frequently seen
around the Durdle Door area is the Cinnabar Moth; a striking ash of red and black. Our
Wardens have also seen Rose Chafers along the coast; a metallic copper-green Beetle which
makes a very loud buzzing sound as it clumsily ies past or attaches itself to your clothing
June has seen the staggered arrival of Spotted Flycatchers. This red listed bird has been on the
decline in recent decades. In books published 50 years ago, the text tells you that these were
fairly common garden birds, now usually found in the wider countryside where mature trees
border open glades and insects are a-plenty. While surveying small pockets of woodland in the
Coombe Keynes area, one was spotted catching insects in the woodland canopy. One of the
Ranger team was thrilled to see a pair take up residence in their garden in East Lulworth just
over a week ago, after only a few days one of the birds was sitting on eggs (male and female
take turns with this). With 12-14 days egg incubation, it won’t be long, in the meantime it has
provided hours of fantastic bird-watching. One of the best moments was watching the pair ght-
off a Jay which has tried to come close several times in the last week. These have a reputation
for eating nestlings of small birds and mammals
The most bizarre sighting of this month has to be Yellow Slime Mould, which was spotted on a
tree in the woodland adjacent to Durdle Door Holiday Park. We assumed this was a Fungi, but
after reading up on it found it is classi ed under the Kingdom ‘Protista’. This large grouping
comprises mostly single-celled organisms such as the protozoa, simple algae and fungi, slime
moulds, and (formerly) the bacteria. This was spotted in its more attractive early stages, the
older it gets it can be compared to ‘dog vomit’ apparently. It thrives in damp humid climates
which we’ve certainly had more of lately. Slime Mould is a very clever thing as without a brain it
can nd food, track which way it went and join with another slime mould to become larger
At the time of writing this we got a message to say that there was a seal bobbing around in the
Cove fairly close to the shore, which provided a spectacle for our visitors on the beach. We
decided to join them, and on closer inspection, decided it was a Grey Seal which is larger than
a Common Seal with a longer head and a more ‘roman’ pro le.

WINFRITH GARDENING CLUB
What a glorious few weeks we have enjoyed – and now the water butts can be replenished!
At last, from a slow start both owers and vegetables are showing better signs of growth and
the food production line will soon be in full swing in the coming weeks. As for the ower
beds, these seem a bit ‘behind schedule' but are gradually getting into their owering array
of colour
I would like to thank everyone who supported our Virtual Plant Sale, be it helping box up
orders, provide plants and of course, purchase the ‘fruit of our labours’! This was to help
raise funds for Macmillan Nurses and help you did to the tune of £500. This was truly an
amazing donation in these dif cult times and very much appreciated by the Charity. So a
BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL
Although we are easing ‘lockdown’ (well at least I think we are!) it will not be until the 28th
September before we will be able to meet in the Village Hall again, when we will be inviting
Roger Hirons, The Plant Doctor to join us with his talk about “Putting the Garden to Bed” (I
know, our gardens have only just woken up!) so look out for further notices
‘Tips from the Potting Shed
Harvest rhubarb before resting it from July onwards
Use netting to protect developing and ripening fruits from bird
In dry weather remember to water gooseberries and strawberries to encourage fruits to
swel
Use soapy sprays at the rst signs of green y and black
Pick Sweet Pea owers regularly and remove seed pods to prolong owerin
This is a good time to take softwood cuttings from shrub
Feed tomatoes and crops in grow-bags and pinch out the side shoots of cordon tomato
plants regularl
Once broad beans have nished producing, cut down the plants and leave the roots in
the soil to release nitrogen as they decompos
Give wisteria its summer prune, cutting all long side-shoots back to 20cm to promote
owering next Spring
Tie in new stems of climbing and rambling roses horizontally to supports to encourage
more ower
Prune late spring or early summer shrubs after owering, such as weiglea and
philadelphus, thinning out the older stems
Trim conifers and other garden hedge
Continue to dead-head plants and roses to encourage owerin
Top up bird baths, ponds and water features during hot weather
And lastly, keep weeding

VILLAGE HALL NEWS
Chaldon Village Hall

SAFER PASSWORDS
As many of you know, we are constantly being asked to create increasingly elaborate
passwords to help secure against online threats. The problem is that we create so many of
them, they have to be written down to ensure we don’t forget what they are!
So much for safety. So I thought I’d provide a helpful hint to create a memorable but secure
password, inspired by the world of spycraft
1. Grab your favourite book (for this example, one with more than 30 chapters!)
2. Choose a memorable date (a birthday or favourite historical event perhaps)
3. Use the memorable month to choose a chapter. For example, January is the rst month and
therefore the Chapter 1; June would be Chapter 6
4. Use the day of the month to choose a paragraph. So the 20th of the month would be the
20th paragraph in that chapter
5. Finally, use the year to identify words within that paragraph. 1976 would be the 1st, 9th, 7th
and 6th word in the paragraph
6. Concatenate (put them together) the words and add a special symbol at the end. I like to
use the exclamation mark.
7. Make sure at least one word begins with a capital letter. You’ll end up with something like:
‘todayBadgertablegreen!’
The above steps are examples - you can use whatever system works for you. The most
important thing is that you only have to remember three things: the book, the memorable date
or number, and the system used to apply the numbers to the book. If you forget the password,
go back to the book. If you need to create another password, choose a new number or date.

WALKING GROUP
Welcoming anyone who enjoys a good walk, fresh air, company and the chance of a pub
lunch
We are getting into the swing of organising walks again and have decided to stick with our
well established pattern of two walks a month. One will be short, slower and avoid inclines
and the other will not necessarily conform to any of those things. We will always describe
walks so that you know the distance and terrain. Car sharing is an option as is the lunch at
the end
June short wal
8 humans and Hector ventured out on the rst rainy day we had had for some time to
explore the water meadows in Dorchester (appropriate)
Parking up in Lubbecke Way we followed a track with a bridge over the river Frome. This
leads you to the water meadows which contain the remains of the water system from the 17th
Century when the elds were managed to maximise drainage whilst holding nutrients in the
soil to allow for early grass growth and a longer grazing season for livestock. Some of the
sluice gates and lifting mechanisms can be seen amongst the beautifully curved brick
channels
We passed the Stinsford Gauge
station which holds signi cance for
anyone who is signed up for ood
warnings as it is when the water
reaches a certain level here that the
‘alarm’ sounds. For those who ticked
telephone noti cation of ooding
rather than just email or text it can
mean your phone rings at 2am!
You then pass along a pretty wooded
path beside the river before emerging
at a junction where a track would
lead you into Stinsford and towards
Kingston Maurward. Taking our route
you pass through more elds before
nding yourself at Grey’s bridge and
turning back towards the start point
The route is just under 2 miles with lots of chances to stand and stare. Our lunch stop was
the Black Dog at Broadmayne – excellent menus choice and customer service
The longer walk in June occurred too late for the publishing deadline but there will be
something about this next month
If you would like information on what we are planning do get in touch.

LAWN BIODIVERSITY
What wild owers are in your lawn
Having only recently moved here, I am beginning to learn the names of the various plants in our
new garden. I have been focusing on the owers, trees, and shrubs in the borders (many of which
are new to me but well-established plants here).
A few weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised when my brother (who works in
countryside conservation) told me what an incredible amount of biodiversity he
had spotted within our lawn! He told me that it is due to the nutrient-poor soil in
the lawn creating just the right environment
I must confess, I had not even thought to look closely at the lawn before. I could
see the grass was getting a bit longer and the daisies were in abundance. The
daisies are very tall and look pretty when the sun shines on them – great for
children to make daisy-chains with! That was as much as I noticed though
because, in my ignorance, I had never looked that closely at the lawn before!
Suddenly, I thought to myself, if we have this amount of biodiversity within our lawn
- I wonder if other people within the village have similar?
There has been some publicity about initiatives that can help support our natural
habitats for example, ‘No mow May’. Often, grass verges along the roads seem to
be left for longer now as well. Some farmers around the country are consciously
using less pesticides or moving to more organic methods in their farming now and
some are re-wilding certain areas of farmland and/or re-
establishing hedgerows again.
Suddenly, an opportunity to do something positive and make a difference for
good was (literally) on my doorstep! So, there are now two distinct wild grass
areas within the lawn to enable the wild owers and wildlife to hopefully ourish.
The rest of the lawn has now been cut, and I edged the borders so that it is
‘managed’ and tidier overall, but the wild areas will be staying
After learning about the biodiversity within the lawn and the tiny, beautiful
owers that bloom in this microhabitat, I am now in awe of wild owers and
plants such as: Speedwell (Veronica Of cinalis), Clover (Trifolium) in particular,
Trifolium Dubium and Lesser Trefoil, Selfheal, Buttercups,
Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium) and Moss to name a few!
I always thought moss was pretty in woodland settings but a nightmare in lawns,
now I know that moss can provide vital shelter and support insects I have
started to view it through a different lens!
Stopping and taking a mindful moment to just be in the garden has been great
for my wellbeing! My favourites so far have been the beautiful, minute, blue
ower that Speedwell displays and the structural form of Yarrow. The rarest
plant that we spotted in our lawn was Wall Speedwell.
I wonder what you might nd in your lawn if you have a closer look?

DORSET COUNCIL, WEST PURBECK REPORT
Police meeting re the management of visitors
Laura and I are holding regular meetings with the Police, landowners, Highways, Traf c
Of cers and others to review the arrangements for handling visitors in the hotspot areas in
our ward - particularly in Lulworth. The meeting is chaired by a Senior Of cer within the
Police and Parish Councils have provided signi cant input to these meetings. The summary
minutes from our June meeting is below
1. The emergency response appeared to go relatively well and was received well within the
community. Social media seems unusually complimentar
2. Any negativity appears to have been focused on the need for a fence, which has been
unfortunately fed by a Daily Mail article giving large amounts of detai
3. Police radio and mobile communication was poor on the beach, meaning that
commanders couldn’t get reliable updates. In the interim, we are looking into police
borrowing the estate radio for incidents like this (it would have to be located in the info
point). Longer term, I’ve been made aware of a 5G plan for coverage in the coastal
margins. This would be immensely helpful for all emergency services and would support
our airwave (the radios we currently use) replacement which is mobile data-base
4. The Police have been in touch with DWFRS, Coastguard and SWAST and have invited
them to future Working Group meeting
5. Roads are slightly busier than a ‘normal’ (pre-covid) year, but the system is coping. No
vehicles have yet been towed-away, but the facility is there if require
6. The police have patrols frequently in the area, and it is a ‘priority location’ for staff on
overtime shifts at the weekends. However’ demand on Dorset Police has been much
less in this area than last year. Only 5 incidents of interest so far since Apri
7. The Estate reports much less rubbish (1-4 bags rather than 200) compared to the
equivalent time last year. Some BBQs con scated from visitors, but very few and the
roadside banners and signs appear to have had an effect
Overall, community tension is lower, but has the potential to spike if we have further serious
incidents. We’re all doing what we can, and it’s important that residents and visitors know
this. We will hold a further meeting in August if there are signi cant additional problems
otherwise, we will be holding a wash up meeting in September/October

We are not holding face to face meetings for the moment. However, we would be more than
delighted to talk to you on the telephone or via Zoom. Please ring or email us with the subject
matter so that we can prepare ourselves.

WINFRITH and EAST KNIGHTON PARISH COUNCIL
We said our farewells to Nic Johnson as a councillor at the June meeting. He has been the Chair for
some time so will be missed by all. He steered us through challenging times in the last year and a bit.
Hall meetings with masks, Zoom meetings and hybrid versions in the hall with some joining us via
Zoom. This made it possible for anyone to attend but it certainly didn’t make it easy to chair. In
addition Nic kept a close eye on the budget so we couldn’t go too mad with your money. However
over and above all these things Nic has been a true friend to us and to the community. I am sure he
will continue to be seen at village functions quietly getting jobs done. Thank you Nic from the Parish
Council but also the Parish
So it is time to con rm who are councillors
Brenda Mustoe – Chair 01305 85200
John Yonwin – Vice-chair 01305 85211
Mark Morle
Andy Mui
Charles Smit
Irene Atkins – Clerk – 01305 85315
We have a vacancy and would be pleased to hear from anyone who has lived in the Parish for
more than a year who would like to know more about what the job entails
For more information, please contact
Brenda Mustoe - 01305 852009, brendamustoe@btinternet.com o
Irene - winfrithparishclerk@gmail.co
Very shortly our new website will become active and each councillor will have a generic email
address so we can be contacted more easily. The website will mean that it will be easier to access
the minutes and agendas as well as keep you updated on our projects. We will continue to use
Facebook and put notices in the noticeboard outside Winfrith Village Stores and on a new
noticeboard on the side of the Countryman pub for East Knighton residents. One of our aims in the
next few months is to improve our methods of communication
We continue to strive towards making the roads safer. Whilst we have achieved a quieter road
surface and better road markings we are still waiting to hear the outcome of our application for a
20mph speed limit. In the meantime we have purchased 20 is plenty signage and thanks go to Andy
Muir, Nic Johnson, Charles Smith, Des Connor and Mike Smeaton for putting these in position
The bend beyond the church on the Lulworth Road continues to cause concern with traf c snarling
up as vehicles try to pass. It has been reported that minor collisions happen regularly. It would be
useful to keep a record of these so if you do witness anything please let us know with a few details.
The plan is to ask Highways to do a site visit again to look speci cally at this problem
We successfully bid for money from Magnox so that we can have more benches in the village. Two
will go on the riverside walk and one in the children’s play area. They are made from recycled plastic
so should last quite a few years.
A major task is to ensure that the recreation ground is maintained as a community facility. You will be
aware that the pavilion has fallen into disrepair and funds are being raised to correct this. However it
is dif cult to get sponsorship with a only a short time left on the lease for the land which is owned by
the Lulworth Estate. They are working with us very positively to get a new lease in place. This will
enable us to look to raise funds to renew and add to the children’s play equipment
