Everyone should have a plan for unexpected events. What would you do in the event of a major power outage, significant flooding, or another serious emergency?
The Parish Council has now launched its Community Emergency Plan (CEP).
The Plan is intended to provide a considered and structured approach for the Parish Council and the Community on how together they can support local resilience before, during and after an emergency, while, if necessary, awaiting or supporting the Emergency Services and Dorset Council. The Plan seeks to use local knowledge, skills and resources where it is safe and appropriate.

Emergency WhatsApp Channel
To support the CEP, we have a WhatsApp Broadcast Channel. This channel will be used to share urgent updates as above plus important local information, including:
Road closures, Parish Council meetings and events,
Messages sent through the channel are broadcast only, meaning other members cannot see your details and cannot reply. The channel is managed by the Parish Clerk and two Councillors.
