Dear residents of Wareham & surrounding area, We certainly have had a rather wet summer which is a shame. We always hope for sun and are well known across the globe for our conversations about the weather. It is so changeable after all! Nellie, The Purbeck Publications travelling van, made the most of it for us and with our good old British attitude we did have plenty of fun. We hope you did too. For those of us with children and grandchildren it is ‘back to school’ for yet another year. Hayden has moved up to Upper School which is very exciting. We managed in all our activities over the summer to redecorate his bedroom and put in a new bed with a nice homework desk underneath, so no excuses now! Let’s see if that works. I am sure it will. Dare I say the nights will be pulling in soon and we will be wrapping up warmer and maybe even putting the fire and heating on. Now is the time to make sure all is in good working order, so do make those allimportant calls to the experts who can check it out for you. There are many trades people who could help inside so please do use them. They love to hear from you and it makes all our hard work worthwhile. The lucky winner of the meal for two at The Kings Arms was Mrs P Pitfield. Well done to you! Do fill in this month’s wordsearch as you could be the lucky winner this coming month. Oh yes, Nellie has written a fun puzzle book with stories of some of her exploits. If you would like a copy please give her a call. The details are inside. Happy September! Best wishes,

Further opportunity to help shape the future of Purbeck An additional public consultation is to be held on the plan which will determine development for the next 16 years in the district. Purbeck District Council is currently updating the Purbeck Local Plan. The updated plan will determine where development can take place in the district, including locations for new homes and jobs. This brings significant challenges for the Council in seeking to preserve the beauty and diverse landscape of Purbeck, whilst also providing for future needs and enabling local communities to thrive. Following previous consultations in 2015 and 2016, the Council will run a further, district-wide consultation to help inform the plan. The consultation is likely to take place later this year and will provide an additional opportunity for everyone to submit their views on potential future development in the district. Following the last consultation in 2016, Purbeck District Council has been working on updates to evidence related to the plan. Once the studies have been completed, the Council will be able to confirm the exact date of the consultation, hopefully in late 2017. Councillor Barry Quinn, Deputy Leader of Purbeck District Council, said: “The Local Plan is an important
document that will help shape the future of Purbeck, so it is important we get it right. “There will be an opportunity for people to submit their views to help shape the plan. These views are important to us and we will be encouraging everyone with an interest in the future of the district to take part.” The Council is planning to send information about the consultation to all households in the district, enabling as many people as possible to get involved. Councillor Quinn continued: “We will be including information about the consultation in our Council magazine, About Purbeck, giving every household the opportunity to respond. As well as opportunities to submit views in writing, people will be able to share ideas with others through local meetings”. See further information about the Local Plan Review at www.Dorsetforyou.gov. uk/purbeck-local-plan-review, email the Council at localplan@purbeck-dc. gov.uk or telephone 01929 556561.

Notes from...
WarehamTown Museum Congratulations to Swanage Railway for re-introducing a passenger service from Wareham to Swanage this summer, for the first time for nearly 50 years! It has been a great achievement: before the line closed in 1972, a heritage railway society in Swanage attempted to buy it, but British Rail ripped up the track between Furzebrook and Swanage. Since then the line has been re-instated, largely through volunteer effort. A branch line from Wareham to Swanage was first proposed when the main line from London to Dorchester opened in 1847. This came to nothing, but the scheme was later revived and the line opened in 1885. The driving force behind it was George Burt, “King� of the Swanage stone trade, in order to cut the cost of exporting stone. The line was also used to export clay from Norden and Furzebrook. After the last war, road transport for goods and people gradually took over and the line, like hundreds of others, closed. The section of line between Worgret Junction and Furzebrook was kept open, for clay and, later, natural gas from the Wytch Farm oilfield to be exported. The
white gas trucks could be seen and heard trundling across the heath until about 2005. When the branch line opened, a new station, the current one, was built at the terminus of the branch line at Wareham. This was on the other side of the level crossing from the original station. The station car park now occupies the site of the line. The old station was used for staff accommodation until the 1970s, when it was demolished. You can find out more about railways in the area in Wareham Town Museum. The museum is situated in the Town Hall, and is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, April to the end of October. Entrance is free. The museum is run by volunteers and there are lots of opportunities to get involved; if you would like to help, contact us via our website www.wtm.org.uk or Facebook page, or call in.

Making sites more accessible across Dorset and the South West The South West is full of wonderful heritage places to explore, from caves to historic houses and sweeping landscapes. According to the Papworth Trust, disabled adults in the North and South West report the highest number of life areas (education and leisure) where participation is restricted. Despite the efforts of museums, galleries and other leisure attractions, feedback from disabled and Deaf people suggests there is more that can be done to make these places more accessible. The Heritage Ability project, delivered by charity Living Options Devon and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund has a clear vision - to break down barriers at these heritage places, unlocking the South West for everybody to enjoy. Over the next three years, the Heritage Ability team will support a variety of unique places across the South West to help them improve the experience for disabled and Deaf visitors. From the West tip of Cornwall all the way to Gloucestershire, the team will work with over 19 sites to deliver accessible interpretation, from BSL (British Sign Language) clips, to visual stories and easy read documents. Many sites will also benefit from an all-terrain scooter or ‘Tramper’, which will enable people with limited mobility to access the countryside like never before.
Four heritage places are taking part in Dorset. These are Moors Valley Country Park, Lulworth Cove, Durlston Country Park and RSPB Arne. As part of the project, Heritage Ability are looking for disabled and Deaf volunteers with a passion for heritage to help spread the word, become advocates for the project and help their sites on their ongoing journey. They also need your help to conduct some mystery visits at the sites and provide feedback which the team can use to help the sites improve. If you’d like to be involved, take a look at the website at www.heritageability.org. You can email the team at heritageability@ livingoptions.org or call 01392 459222. You can also send a SMS to 07958 517919.

Talking about Wildlife...
Wildlife in Autumn Whilst most of us might be dreading the thought of the seasons changing, autumn can offer up some exciting wildlife spectacles and activity for us to observe and learn about. As the days start to get shorter, wildlife in our woods and gardens gets busy. Autumn is a time of bustling activity; preparation of food reserves and nestling for winter, and, for some, for hibernation. Many a nature lover’s favourite, the dormouse, generally hibernates from October to April, in a hidden nest on the ground. Whilst this tiny creature gains weight from 25 to 40 grams in preparation for its long period of inactivity, this is an extremely vulnerable time for the species and not all survive it. For bird watchers, autumn is a wondrous time: due to its temperate climate, Britain is an internationally important destination for many migrant birds. As summer favourites such as swallows, nightingales and house martins depart, fieldfares, geese and waders, along with many others, arrive in their huge flocks on our shores, creating fantastic aerial spectacles. Brownsea Island at Poole Harbour is ideal for bird watching, and has an added

bonus of a population of red squirrels which can be spotted busily scurrying around the island, storing away their winter nuts and seeds. Don’t forget to check the woodland floor, too, for colourful autumn fungi. Looking after your garden with wildlife in mind at this time of year is crucial, and the good news is, too much tidying up is not a good thing! Hedgehogs, toads and minibeasts all need safe winter quarters; a pile of wood, leaves and sticks in a secluded corner of your garden equals a five star hotel for many wintering species. Be mindful to check November bonfires before lighting, though, for hibernating hedgehogs. Finally, it is not only fauna that can be enjoyed in the autumn; flora will be in bloom as well - join our wild friends and enjoy the many fruits of hedgerow harvest from blackberries to crab apples. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s busiest time of year for practical conservation work starts in the Autumn and Winter. If you’re interested in getting involved with volunteering, phone Susanna on 01202 692033 to find out what’s happening near you in Dorset. By Niina Silvennoinen

Adventures of Nellie
28
The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Well Nellie has been really busy this summer. We did think we might have to fit sails to her as there was so much rain but us Brits have a resilience with the attitude of “the show must go on no matter what”. We did just that. Do you remember those holidays long ago hearing the raindrops on the caravan roof, playing cards with Mum and Dad as it was too wet to go out? We had intended for quite some time to take Dad to Norden Farm near Corfe Castle to fish the carp lake I was so excited about some time ago. Thursday Mum and Dad arrived from Hull all raring to go. Friday morning, the set-off day… and the heavens opened! Stephen and I decided, no way, we will never camp in this. Dad however had a different idea. (I think Nellie had had a word with him…) “Let’s get the stuff in the van Deb and see what it’s like when we get there.” He said determinedly. Stephen and I looked at each other. Were we mad? Poor Mum looked confused.
Grandad really means business!
Grandma catches the rare rays by Kombi So, Nellie who is an all-weather girl, grinned like a Cheshire cat as her engine sparked into life and she sprung into step. We were off. When we arrived, the rain had stopped. In fact, it didn’t rain the whole time we put up Kombi Ex, the awning. Result. Dad was smiling. He was also itching to see the pond (fishermen are like that you know, you can’t hold them back), so off we went to see what the water was like. Now, having had rain like that, the pond was very murky, chocolate brown and that doesn’t help the catching of big carp. Oh dear. Dad was still not to be disheartened and out came to rod...and everything else! Not a bite. We did see a few carp floating very slowly on top of the water but I think they were gasping for air actually, through the muddy liquid, and they were not at all interested in eating. As soon as the bait got anywhere near them, they casually swam away. They knew what game we were playing, and they were totally nonchalant about it. Time for us to eat instead then. Nellie took us into Corfe Castle where we had a great pub meal and then, as I did say
To advertise in The Wareham District Directory, please call: 01929 408080
29 we are mad, a walk around the outside of the castle in the pouring rain which had started again. There was something really satisfying about that, as if we were defiantly disagreeing with the weather, with sheer determination to enjoy ourselves despite it. That is so British… and I love it! Nellie is Japanese, but has lived here a long time now and has totally adopted this crazy firmness of purpose. Hayden even got creative with his camera on his phone, focusing in on near objects with the castle in the background. With the mist around the castle, it was all very mysterious and peaceful. It is amazing what fun you can have if you ‘go with the flow’ and look at what can be done as opposed to concentrating on the problems, or stops. Nellie is a big believer in that. The next morning was glorious… until 11am. Nellie’s whistling kettle came out, the bacon sandwiches were delicious (if I say so myself) and we sat in wonderful sunshine hearing the birds singing and a few children playing nearby. Nellie was in her element and was fully satisfied with herself, as without her we would never have been there. Dad tried again with the fish, but got the same response. Complete rebuff. Very disappointing for him, but he is a long-term fisherman, now in his 83rd year having started fishing at a very early

He is quite a pro, still fishing in matches up North where they live and regularly catches 30-70lb of fish. Just not on this occasion unfortunately. Later we met my sister and her hubby and we went into Swanage to have good old fish and chips. It rained again but umbrellas and coats have their purpose too. Games back at the campsite were hilarious. We played snakes and ladders! With today’s technology it is easy to forget the simple things and boy did we laugh. Nellie tooted her horn and it all got quite competitive. The last day we went for a drive. In fact we did a rather large circle, going into Wareham to have lunch by the river, then to Poole, across the ferry over to Studland (Dad was hoping we would go to the nudist beach, but Mum did hold him back this time) and had dinner at the very popular Scott Arms in Kingston. Another wonderful day. So, I suppose the moral of the story from Nellie is look at what can be done and keep that British determined attitude to have fun, no matter the weather!

Where is the promised relief for small businesses? In April this year, over half a million companies started paying higher business rates. A relief fund of £300 million was promised by the Chancellor Philip Hammond to assist those small businesses which had been hit the hardest. This increase resulted in an escalation of up to 50% on their interest rates which is a hard pill to swallow for any business, let alone those in the SME sector. It is debatable when this relief will be paid, even though these businesses starting paying the higher rates in April. In April the Communities Secretary Sajid Javid confirmed that there would be no delay in providing the relief to small businesses and that “it’s going ahead, exactly as planned. Councils are free to start using the scheme and helping local businesses.” Unfortunately, this has not happened (although it could be argued that there was a general election which could have contributed towards the delay), as a vast majority of those effected businesses have not seen any of this relief. It has been reported by Mike Cherry, the National Chair of the Federation of Small Businesses, that “55% of small businesses told us they were planning
to reduce, postpone or cancel investment in their business. Additionally, 19% of those businesses affected by increased rates said they may ultimately consider closing down or selling their business as a result of the hikes in their bills.” To assist with these delays, the Federation of Small Businesses, acting as a facilitator, wrote to the Communities Secretary requesting his Department to step in and urge local Councils to implement their local relief schemes without further delay. One question which needs to be asked is when exactly will these reliefs come? Mr Cherry has further predicted that, “looking at the current timetable, businesses won’t get any relief for another month or two at the earliest.” For further information about relief for small businesses or debt recovery please speak to Angie Loveless, Debt Recovery Manager on 01929 500322, email: angie.loveless@battens.co.uk Or visit our website: www.battens.co.uk @BattensSol

Gardening Tips
On Your Plot Herb Gardens
Nature tends to dictate what we do in the garden and sometimes it’s just too late to plant those seeds, too early to prune that bush and incredibly you are already on top of the weeding. So what can you do to fulfil that urge to work the land? Why start a herb garden of course!
Jobs for September :-
• If you are growing pumpkins for Halloween, you need to support the fruit as it swells and raise it up to keep it off the wet ground and deter slugs. Restrict each plant to no more than three fruits. • Clear up finished crops, clean and store any supports or netting for future use. • Keep planting winter lettuces for a supply of fresh leaves right through autumn. • Fancy fresh strawberries next year? Now is a good time to get new plants established. • Add support to Brussels sprouts by drawing up earth around the stems, or using canes. Most activity on your plot is tied to the seasons, but this month we take a look at one project that can be started off at almost any time of the year - your own herb garden. As we’ve taken to growing more and more of our own food so we have found ourselves getting increasingly interested in trying out new recipes to make the most of all those lovely fresh flavours. Recipe books abound in our kitchen and they all have one thing in common - the use of herbs, and what a variety of them there is! Whether you’re looking for a sprig of fresh mint, a handful of rosemary, or some chopped chives what could be better than being able to choose and harvest them right outside your own back door? Choosing the right site for your herb garden is important, and outside your back door is often a good place to start! Planting near the kitchen makes it easy to pop out for a few fresh leaves when you are cooking, and many of us have a patio which can easily become home to a variety of container grown herbs. Herbs can make an
attractive, fragrant and tasty addition to your borders, or you may prefer to opt for a permanent herb bed. If this is the case you will need to give some consideration to containing the growth of some of the more vigorous varieties. This can be done by dividing the bed (a cartwheel design made with bricks is very attractive), or by using pots sunk into the ground. Herbs comprise of both annual plants, that germinate, grow, flower and die within the year, and perennials that will grow on from one year to the next. Whatever you plant, you will need to find out which type it is and the conditions that it favours. The more hardy perennial types such as thyme, rosemary or mint may be happy outside all year round. One of the advantages of using containers is that tender varieties can be moved under cover during the worst of the winter and even tender annuals like basil can have their season extended by lifting plants to pot up and keep on the kitchen windowsill as autumn approaches. Most types of herb can be raised from seed, but for a quicker start browse the farmers market, garden centre, or even car boot sales for plants that are ready to go. One of the great things about a herb garden is that it can be continually evolving. Look upon it as just the start of a collection, that will grow with time. Adding a new variety can be as simple as picking up a plant that takes your fancy on a trip out and adding a new pot to your collection. As well as using herbs fresh from the garden, you can dry leaves by hanging in bunches and then storing in an airtight container, or use ice cube trays to freeze chopped up leaves with a drop of water. Store the cubes in polythene bags, great for adding to a stew in the middle of winter!

Auto Biographies
VW Passat GTE By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk
The GTE badge was first ushered in with the VW Golf and it eventually made its way to the more conservative Passat. Bolting a plug-in petrol-electric propulsion unit to a model that is best known for its diesel pulling power was perhaps a brave move for Volkswagen. But it seems to have paid off with the Passat. Like the Golf, the VW Passat GTE’s looks are characterised by C-shaped LED lights accommodated in its bumper, and the blue bar that stretches across the headlights and grille. It’s a restrained fine-tuning of the Passat’s tailoring, although, given the intense hue of blue, the use of which even expands to the car’s brake callipers, the GTE model is simple enough to distinguish from diesel Passats. The battery capacity and output have been given a bit of a boost, but the petrol-electric set-up is fundamentally the same as in the VW Golf GTE’s. The 156PS 1.4 TSI petrol unit and 115PS electric motor combine to make 218PS, giving a 0-62mph sprint of 7.4 seconds. Top speed is 140mph, but unless you’re on a German autobahn, you’re unlikely to risk finding out what that feels like. Step into the cabin and the Passat GTE houses a few understated touches, such as blue piping, blue stitching, aluminium trim and GTE emblems. Other than that, the switchgear and seats are the same as in any other Passat. And, as with all Passat saloons, space is generous. Even with the car’s lithium ion drive battery beneath the rear seats, the VW has good room and a boot that is big enough for a family’s needs. The Volkswagen’s electric charging time is easy to cope with. Plugging the car’s seven-pin charge cable into a 16A wall socket, I got the 9.9kWh battery from a quarter charged
to 100 per cent in under two hours. The GTE runs well on electric-only juice, with a possible range of 31 miles on zero emissions. In Hybrid form the VW saloon responds admirably, even when the petrol engine has closed, which it’ll do at moderate motorway speeds. The power unit restarts effortlessly when it needs to, while the car’s cruise control allows it to store its own impetus and cruise economically. The Passat GTE’s handling is as good as its performance. You can thrust the saloon through bends and its tyres will dig into the tarmac strongly. There’s very little body roll, and the steering, while not delivering that much feedback, is precise. Here’s the important bit, though. VW claims the Passat GTE will do 156.9mpg on the combined cycle. But, as with all cars, this model’s economy will depend on what your driving is like. On a 60-mile run, beginning with a fully charged battery and driving on a mix of roads, I achieved 80.1mpg. Volkswagen’s Passat GTE is, without doubt, a talented car and an attractive vehicle in a wider sense than a conventional high-performing, fully loaded volume-marque. By blending large car pragmatism with a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system, VW has produced one of the greatest reasons yet to think about swapping from a standard oilburning business saloon to an electrically powered one.
