We understand that the annual refit of the Sandbanks Ferry has begun earlier than usual. The ferry is out of service until as soon as possible after week commencing 17th November 2008. See ferry news.

The Canford Bridge leading in to Wimborne is closed for renovation until 24 October 2008 when it will re-open with traffic signals. For more information see Canford Bridge Improvement.

We have had a note from a member of Poole Borough Council Social Services who leads a walking group for adults with learning disabilities on a Tuesday. He is seeking a volunteer to join him to enable the group's horizons to expand. If you would like to find out more about this please contact us and we will put you in touch.

WALK FROM BOURNEMOUTH TO HURN

Did you see the publicity and TV programme about the Big Lottery Fund’s Living Landmarks with four bids for £50 million? Those of us that did vote for the Sustrans bid were delighted to find that it won.

This means that many different sustainable transport projects across the country will now proceed, including one in our area, which will receive £300,000. This scheme will bring a bridge suitable for bridleway use to the River Stour to link Bournemouth with Christchurch and in particular Hurn Airport and Hurn Forest, which will open up some additional and safe walking opportunities for us all. Find out more at the Sustrans site.
