Telephone Box Library

21 May 2024 - Mission Hall building works
In our previous newsletter (12 April), we told you about our plans for a variety of improvements and maintenance works that the Mission Hall Committee are planning to do. As a first step, we have just put in a Planning Application for replacement windows for the main hall. This application can be viewed on the Dorset Council website (https://planning.
We hope you will agree with us that this is a worthwhile improvement to the building. It is very much your Village Hall, so please feed comments, whether for or against what we are proposing, via the County planning system.
This is the first of a number of works that we have in mind. Since the last newsletter, we have been successful in winning another grant, meaning we can do more than we had expected; the next Committee meeting will look at priorities.
Can I remind you of the Mission Hall's AGM, on 26th June - an opportunity to hear more about these and other developments. We have vacancies on the Committee, so please get in touch if you want to learn more about what the Committee does.
Best wishes,

Blue Welly licence application Hi, It's Jo here from The Springhead, We run a limited number of weddings and events a year and we have no intention on increasing this. We have seen an increase in people requesting to hold their wedding in the field, which this application will allow us to offer. Our family has lived in the village for over 20 years and we have run the pub for over a decade, during this time we have always taken into consideration the village into everything we do. Thanks for reading. |
15 May 2024 - Blue Welly licence application
Blue Welly licence application An application has been made for Blue Welly events about a premise license in respect to the field adjoining the Springhead pub for live and recorded music to be played alongside the sale of alcohol between the hours of 10:00:23:00 Monday-Sunday. If you would like to make a comment on the application then please email Please if objecting stick to material objections based on the 4 main licensing objectives:
Good advice I can give as well is to try offer possible compromises such as "We would support this on a once a month basis or one off events" as it carries weight. We are hoping to get this application brought to committee in order for people to speak at the meeting. Regards Cllr Louie O'Leary and Cllr Peter Dickenson |
