Hello Poole

Just a quick reminder that your choice WON'T if you don't visit your polling station before 10pm tonight and mark the ballot paper against their name. It's really quick and easy.
Turnout today is very low so please come put and vote.

Please never think your favourite candidate will 'get in okay' without your help. Winning margins can be

Dear residents, kindly take with a pinch of salt the unkind words about Poole Engage members shared by a few others in recent days. Instead, go to the source to find out what Poole Engage is about. Our manifesto is right here on the website https://pooleengage.org.uk/our-manifesto/ where it was published two months ago. You’ll find no party politics, nor unkind words. Just coverage of the biggest concerns we’ve heard from residents and will act on, given the chance. Thank you.

“Instead of seeing how much pain I can dish out towards those I disagree with, or who I believe have done me wrong, I seek to follow the golden rule and use my words and behaviour to create more of what the world needs … compassion and connection.”
― Aspen Baker, Author of Pro-Voice
“Once asked how we could be friends, given our disagreement on lots of things, Justice Scalia answered: 'I attack ideas. I don't attack people.”

Hello Poole

URGENT PLEASE NOTE!
Oil leak* into Poole Harbour

I do not think anyone will be swimming in the harbour, but anyone out on boats or perhaps diving please heed this warning from Police re a spill from BP Witch Farm, reported today
200 barrels, 8200k gallons leaked from a pipeline under Owers Bay in Poole Harbour.
My concern is that after the last spill in 2011 when the plant had to close for 2 months, leak detection from pipes was supposed to be a priority to ensure it could not happen again and any leak could be swiftly stopped, but with a loss on over 8k gallons this clearly did not happen.
I have raised this with the Leader of the Council and the CEO and PHC, l await a response.
*Advised 80% water 20% oil bit, called " reservoir fluid " but this not confirmed yet.
Please stay safe
Best always Cllr Judes

The train now stood at Platform 1 is the 10:45 service to…. Wareham! 🚈 2023 Announcement!

That’s right, we are pleased to announce regular services to Wareham Station from Swanage, Harmans Cross, Corfe Castle and Norden are returning for the 2023 season. Trains will be running 4 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with the first services starting on April 4th and running until September 10th (excluding certain special events).

These services will utilise our lovingly restored heritage 117 DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) and single 121 Diesel unit. With these running alongside our steam services throughout the year and a regular service to Wareham station provided by South Western Railway, there hasn’t been an easier way to visit us for a fix of Steam and Diesel action.

Please visit out website for further details - https://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/news/view/trial-train-service-from-wareham-main-line-into-the-heart-of-purbeck-thanks-to-working-in-partnership
