Friends of St. Michael’s Church Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

The local media has been brimming with plans for different ways to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee which, we are sure, the residents of Beer Hackett will be keen to attend and support.

The ‘Friends’ had also considered various proposals for the June weekend, but have chosen to stage an event later in the year, as always with the generous support and involvement of village based Brotherwood Engineering.

Thornhackett Parish Council Meeting

Beer Hackett Representation

At their March, Thornhackett Parish Council (THPC) discussed at length the Community Governance review which impacts on the Parish Council. It recommends that the number of councillors representing Thornford be increased to eight and the number representing residents of Beer Hackett and Knighton be reduced from three to one. It was felt that this would not give adequate representation for Beer Hackett. Residents can comment on the proposal here: dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/communitygovernance-review by 23 May.

The Parish Council also decided that they would like to offer all primary school aged children living in the Parish Council area a gift to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee. Any parent or carer of a primary school aged child should contact the Parish Clerk at thornhackett@dorsetaptc.gov.uk
