We're packed this month. So. Much. Going On. In the news is Ruby, the 14yr old boxer from Stalbridge who's aiming for Olypic Gold. Also we've the joyous story of Caitlin and her princess shoes, and the not-so-joyous story of the perennial orange barriers by Sturminster Newton Bridge. But Rachael Rowe has been exploring the tragic tale which is commemorated by the Art Deco masterpiece in St Marys in Sturminster Newton. We're sad to share the news of the passing of optometrist Robert Frith - so well-known locally, especially in Marnhull, his obituary reveals his athletic past.
The solar farm planning application near Mappowder has caused a local furore - we've run two stories on it, as the CPRE choose their own column, and the head of the campaigners against it wanted to share his own views.
We've a big Dorset Art Weeks Feature, plus our quartery Property Special - don;t miss that for the latest on what and who is moving where locally.
