We aim to bring you the latest news and information from the Parish. The Area Parish Council holds 12 meetings a year starting promptly at 7pm. The AGM is held in May at Puddletown Village hall. The meetings always start with a short democratic period for members of the public to raise issues of concern.

Puddletown Area Community Support Group

On the evening of Monday 16^th March a group including representatives from the Parish Council met to discuss community support during the Covid-19 virus outbreak. A Community Support Group was established primarily to help anyone self-isolating or who needs help with shopping, prescriptions etc. The group is led by Reverend Sarah Hillman and Parish Councillor Julian Hubbuck, and is funded by the Puddletown Charity. The Parish Council and Puddletown Community Cafe donated funds to the charity to enable them to continue to support the group.

Anyone wanting to add their names to the list of volunteers, or anyone  in need of support should contact either:

Julian on 07881 678 126 or by email to julian.hubbuck@gmail.com

or 

Sarah on 01305 848 784 or by email to sarah.c.hillman@outlook.com

A list of local businesses that are able to deliver goods and provide services which may be of use to people who are self-isolating can be found by clicking anywhere on this text.

• Always report your missed collection directly to Dorset Council, even if your whole street is affected. Our website has an automated system that will inform you what’s happening with your bins and provide guidance on what to do next (Weblink - Missed bin collection - Dorset Council)
• Please ensure your bins are out by 6am on your collection day. Some rounds are being carried out differently, meaning that we might turn up earlier or later in the day than usual
• If you find a litter bin is full, do not try to leave your litter on top/next to it or on the floor nearby – please take it home and place in your household bin. We also encourage people to report over-filled bins on the Dorset Council website (Weblink - Report a public litter bin problem - Dorset Council sel - Welcomef-service portal (achieveservice.com))
• If any garden waste collections have to be cancelled/stood down we will contact customers directly to advise them. As compensation for any garden waste collections that were not received, we will automatically apply a discount to next year’s subscription fee.
• Rubbish, recycling, garden and food waste can be dropped off free of charge at any of Dorset’s household recycling centres, which are operating as normal.

Many thanks to one of our youngest residents for designing this poster. If anyone would like a copy to put on their own property, please contact the Parish Council Clerk.
