Getting around better - BCP and Dorset Councils call for residents' views on transport

BCP and Dorset Councils are calling on residents to let them know what a more sustainable transport future should look like.  The joint consultation started on 22nd January and closes on 3rd March 2024.  You can find the survey here: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/local-transport-plan/local-transport-plan-4.   

The new joint Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4) will set out the long-term goals, strategy, and policies for improving transport for everyone over the next 10-15 years. 

Reusable Nappy Week 2024

The aim is to spread the reusable word far and wide to as many people as possible! Our theme this year is One Change - Big Difference, with the idea that parents can choose to reuse and affect more  than just their rubbish bin. With the help of incentive schemes and eco advocates, we can make a real difference; not only for this Reusable Nappy Week, but every day for the future.

Wimborne Swifts

Wimborne Swifts

Swifts have always been a feature in our skies above Wimborne. Their distinctive screams as they zip around the Minster, across the square and neighbouring streets, but their numbers have dwindled and they NEED OUR HELP. 

Random Acts of Kindness Day

Become a RAKtivist®!  RAKtivist® is short for ‘Random Acts of Kindness activist’.

They’re the people that end up brightening what otherwise would be ‘just a normal day’. You know the sort. The little, tender gestures when you need them most (but expect them the least).

World Soil Day

Our planet’s survival depends on the precious link between soil and water. Over 95 percent of our food originates from these two fundamental resources. Soil water, vital for nutrient absorption by plants, binds our ecosystems together. This symbiotic relationship is the foundation of our agricultural systems.
