New Dog Lead Order

All dog owners should be made aware of a notice posted by Wiltshire Council on the electricity pole in the turning area at The Rank. The notice is issued under the Dogs on Leads (WC) Order 2012 and The Clean Neighbourhood & Environment Act 2005.

The order will cover The Common and The Bridle Way from The Rank to the Wessex Water pumping station. It will be an offence for a person in charge of a dog not to have the dog on a lead (2 meters) and not to clean up after the dog. Bins are provided in both areas. Wiltshire Council intends to make the Order effective from 1 st June 2012. There is a consultation period up to 18th April 2012 for any public comments.

 

West Wiltshire Famous Person

Many famous people have been born and raised in the West Wilts area and who is the most famous, is of course a matter of personal opinion.

Some years ago I became interested in the history of the area and have done considerable research.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the title or honour of “MOST FAMOUS” should go to a man who has probably been indirectly responsible for causing more deaths and injuries in the world, than any other single person. Who am I talking about? One HENRY SHRAPNEL

 

Queen Jubilee Momentoe Presentation

The presentation of Mementoes to Children from the Parish, by the Parish Council, to celebrate the QUEENS JUBILEE will take place on Saturday 2nd June at the Peace Memorial Hall between 2pm – 5pm.

Tidy Up After Your Dog

dogfoulingThe Parish Council have had numerous complaints of dog fouling in the village. Dog fouling is not only unpleasant but is a big threat to public health especially to children as they play they can put their hands in their mouths. The eggs from the faeces can remain in soil and sand for up to 24 months. So can you please pick up your dogs mess and make our village a safer place for our children.

If you are suspicious of any traders or callers, please do not hesitate to contact the Police direct or via Neighbourhood Watch. Thanks to a call via Neighbourhood Watch 2 males were arrested in Churchlands in November. Trading standards found that they were operating just inside the law and they were released and shipped out of the county, only to be met at the County border as Hampshire Trading Standards wanted to talk to them! A good result and thanks to all concerned.

 

The Willows Preschool

preschoolIf you live locally, or walk along Church Lane during 9am and 3pm you may hear the loud and excited shouts and laughter of the children at The Willows. We are a small yet thriving setting and take children from North Bradley and the surrounding area, most of who continue on to North Bradley Primary School. We moved into the mobile classroom in September 2009 and have flourished since that time.

 

The Progressive Hall (Woodmarsh)

100th_anniversary_embroideryThe Progressive Hall, situated in Woodmarsh will be 100 years old this year. It is a lovely Victorian building that belongs to the North Bradley community and is available to hire at very competitive rates.
