It's officially "sit very still and do nothing" weather.

Luckily ... that's basically reading 📚

What are you reading today?

This is a polite reminder that all children under the age of 8 must be supervised at all times in the library by a responsible adult.

This was a small section of the carnage left this afternoon - each DVD case had the ID cards taken out, creating a much larger job in reuniting the correct card with the case.

Please be respectful of our library so that everyone can enjoy it at it's best.

Take a chance to be involved in this on Saturday!

We're working with the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust to improve travel links in Blandford - and we want to hear from you!

The project aims to create a safer and more welcoming route for walking, wheeling and cycling between Railway Roundabout, Stour Park and Station Court - the National Cycle Network route.

We would like to hear from local residents and members of the community about how this route can work for you - and you can do this in person or online this weekend.

You will find us:
- Near Marks and Spencer, tomorrow lunchtime
- At St Mary’s Primary School, at home time tomorrow
- Inside Blandford Forum Parish Centre, Church Lane, this Saturday (20 June) between 10.30am and 1pm

All ages are welcome and there will be free drinks and snacks!

Visit the link in the comments for more information and to access the survey.
