Thanks to Piers Brown our Dorset Councillor the road sweepers will be clearing Dean Lane and sideroads early next week. So if you know someone who parks on or near where the flood debris is laying please ask them to move whilst this work is completed. We do not have any timings beyond the early part of next week.

Your Parish Needs You! Help Us Keep Our Community Connected
Volunteers required to join The Downsman team
Do you have time spare every other month? Are you comfortable with basic computers or simply passionate about your local community?
Our parish publication is the heart of our community, keeping residents informed, connected, and up-to-date with local news and events. We are currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support our small, friendly team to assist with
• Contacting existing contributors: Help edit submitted articles, write short community features.
• Proofreading: Review drafts for spelling, clarity, and formatting before we go to print.
This is a community support role and not a technical role as we already have the technical team in place to prepare the copy for print.
Why Join Us?
• Make a difference: Directly impact how our local community stays informed.
• Flexible: Give as much time as you have to spare and it is only a few hours every other month.
Get in Touch!
If you’d like to have an informal, no-pressure chat about how you can help, please reach out to our team:
Phone Ciona on 07907 445951

The floods have eased but are not going away yet. It takes up to 10 days for water to get into the aquifer and its showing that now.
Please be careful driving through floods, there is a lot of flint debrie and potholes are washing out.
The X20 is turning round at the Crossroads rather than use Back Lane as its 50cm deep.

What's been the risk for cars. Well this flood has been faster flowing than previous years. We now have flint stone banks along the roads affected (see pictures below) that will caause punctures or worse, man hole covers work loose which can cause real damage to wheels. Then there is the speed, a greater risk of punctures, damage to ground either side of the road from bow waves and ripping parts off the underside of cars. The photo below is from an Audi, I wonder if the oil sump is still in tact.
Please drive in no more than 2nd gear and 5 mph, if you have to drive through the floods.
