2 October 2021 - Closure of Plaisters Lane and new planning application page on the website
Dear all,
I was going to send this off earlier, but instead we took the time to make our last batch of bramble and apple jam, or jelly to be precise. Another 15 jars to keep us going through the winter. But now to business.
I suspect that every household will by now have received a letter from Wessex Water regarding the closure of Plaisters Lane to all through traffic from Monday 4 October until Friday 8 October in order for essential work to be carried out on the sewage network. Apparently access will be maintained for residents but this may be restricted. Alternative routes will be clearly signposted – in my experience that probably means a 200 mile detour to take in the delights of the Lake District, and you would hope they would be clearly signposted otherwise you might get lost en route. Anyway, from the map it looks as though the closure is between just north of the Cartshed junction i.e. from Silver Street up to just south of the Mission Hall Lane junction. On past experience Wessex Water make best efforts to minimise disruption but be prepared for some delays.
Our diligent web master Bill Egerton has added a new webpage which lists planning applications in and around the village. He is providing this service because villagers have pointed out how tedious it is to find planning applications on the Dorset Council website. You can find the information at http://suttonpoyntz.org.uk/index.php/sutton-poyntz-society/recent-planning-applications either by a Cntrl+Click or pasting the address into your browser. We must be grateful to Bill not only for this example of his hard work but all the other effort he so willingly puts into maintaining the website for us.
Best regards
Chris
