Best Kept
Village Competition
Barford came 5th out of six entries in the medium
size village competition. We believe that the
judging was not entirely fair and we have lodged
a protest.
Parish Council meetings
The next meeting is on July 28 with the prospect
of a special meeting on 4 August to discuss
Affordable Housing.
Affordable Housing
The housing needs survey in Dinton has been
completed. When added to the needs demonstrated
by the earlier survey in Barford, there appears
to be a case for the construction of affordable
houses - mostly for renting rather than
purchasing. This, together with possible sites
for building, will be discussed at the special PC
meeting on 4 August.
Fishing
The Parish Council has secured agreement with the
Hurdcott Estate to fish in the Nadder upstream of
the bridge opposite the bottom of Dairy Rd.
Details have been publicised.
Village Visits
The Tisbury Sports Centre will be in the school
field between 2pm and 4pm on Monday 26 July. The
formula will be much as in previous years. The
Parish Council will be meeting the cost of £35.
Planning
Planning permission has been granted for the
conservatory at the back of the school house to
assist with early years' education. Permission
was also given to the MoT testing bay in Les
Hillyard's yard in Duck Lane. All planning
applications are being considered by meetings of
the Parish Council Planning Committee in public
in the Garden Room of the School House. Details
of times and dates are given on the notice boards.
School Field
Electricity supply has been laid on to the
pavilion in the school field in Duck Lane. This
made a tremendous difference to the operation of
the fete. The pavilion is available to be hired
for any reasonable purpose. Contact either the
Parish Council or the Fete Committee for details.
A storage shed will soon be erected alongside the
pavilion.
Mobile Phones
SDC have advised in a recent bulletin that all
mobile phones have a unique 15 digit code number
which can be accessed by dialling *#06#. The
phone can immobilised by the service provider if
they are given the code even if the SIM card is
changed.
Wilton Police
Wilton Police bulletins are issued from time to
time. They are posted on the notice board by the
church.
Lytch Gate
Frank Coombes has been authorised by the Parish
Council to commence work on the construction of
the lytch gate at the entrance to the West St
cemetery. The design is that shown in a recent
Barford Bulletin.
