Can you help?

Did anybody think to get the number plate of the vehicle that did this damage to the trough yesterday and then drove off ? If so please reply to this email.

I would like to say a public thank you to Rob Richards who, within a few hours, had lifted the parts back in to place.

Bright Lights

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment
Following complaints at Monday’s Parish Council meeting about the bright light in the Wessex Water compound near the Old Dairy the Council chairwoman, Katy Attwater, spoke with the Site Manager after dark and he lowered the angle of the lights as much as possible.
Sometimes, when they are loading and unloading equipment, he has to raise the lights temporarily for safety reasons. As ever, the Wessex Water  workmen were very accommodating and did everything they could to improve the situation.
However, it is a safety issue and vehicles and equipment have to move in and out of the site entrance throughout the night.  They have very strict safety regulations they have to adhere to for night time work.
We hope this has improve the situation.
