19 July 2022 Floral Displays, New Defibrillator, Improved Security - lots going on
Lots going on in West Parley at the moment, there's lovely Floral Displays, a New Defibrillator and Imporved Security at the Recreation Ground
Floral Displays
The displays around the village are looking lovely and thanks go to the team of volunteers who tend and water them, especially in this hot spell.
We hope you enjoy the splashes of colour around the village.
flowers from our wonderful volunteers
New Defibrilator
We have just installed a Defibrilator on the rear wall of the sports club building, facing the playing fields. Should you need to use this in the event of emergency, when you call 999 they will give you a cabinet code and talk you through the whole process. Hopefully, it won’t be needed, but having access to defibrillators when waiting for ambulance crews can make a huge difference. The MS Centre Bournemouth, on Church Lane, also have an accessible Defibrilator.
Improved security
We all want to have uninterrupted enjoyment of our lovely community spaces in West Parley, so we have recently installed a height restriction gate to improve the security at the playing fields. The recreation ground already has security measures in place.
8 July 2022 New Road Development - Please Have Your Say
There are currently 2 applications open for consultation and we strongly encourage residents to comment to Dorset Council.
As the development at Parley Cross has been granted permission by Dorset Council; we all know the development is going ahead. But it’s really important that you comment on the latest proposals which show the layout and design. This is one of your last opportunities to share your opinions on the design of the site and consider what is included in Phase One.
There are a lot of documents to review, but you may wish to start by reviewing the plan which shows the density and type of the dwellings; the location of a small allotment area; the impact on neighbouring dwellings; the layout of roads etc. From there you can review the relevant documents in more detail.
The Parish Council is seeking guidance from a planning consultant to help formulate a robust response to the applications; which are being discussed at our monthly meeting on 20th July. Any comments on the Dorset Council website by that time, will be reviewed to ensure the Parish Council’s response accurately reflects the opinions of those in the parish.

25 April 2022 Parley Wood Boardwalk
Please be advised that this week, the Parish Council has arranged that the West Parley Residents’ Association (WPRA) Volunteers will be removing the main boardwalk on the Western side of Parley Wood.
This is the main boardwalk within the woodland after you enter from the path from the Parish Council car park, recreation ground or playing fields. Unfortunately, the wood had rotted significantly in places and it is now safer to remove the boardwalk in its entirety rather than continue with smaller repairs.
We are currently seeking confirmation from Natural England, as Parley Wood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), whether we are permitted to replace the boardwalk with composite material which has a longer life span, or whether we have to replace with natural products again. Obviously, the sooner we have this clarification, the sooner the new boardwalk can be installed.
We thank you for your patience while these works take place.
