In preparation for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, the 1st West Moors Scout Group have adorned the Petwyn with poppies. Thank you to those who knitted and crocheted all these beautiful poppies! Scout Leader, Lynne Anderson, worked with resident Kevin Wormley to produce a fascinating information sheet on each person named on our War Memorial. Do have a read of their impressive research. Drop into the office to pick up a poppy and/or remembrance cross - donations go to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. We will remember them. Read More...

In light of the results, a majority of the Council voted not to pursue a 20mph limit for Station Road. However, we will explore further measures at the St Mary's school junction alongside the expected pedestrian crossing to improve safety in this area. Read More...

We hope to see you at our Remembrance Sunday parade and service in two weeks' time. Clergy from Churches Together will lead the parade along Station Road, with Bournemouth Youth Marching Band and lots of local groups and organisations joining to pay their respects. We'll come together for a service on the Petwyn, where the roll of honour is read before the Last Post and Reveille are sounded, and wreaths are laid. Join us to remember those who gave their service - and their lives - for our freedom. Read More...
