COUNCIL'S LAND: The Council has decided that it will not be spending any money on altering and then maintaining this piece of land. This conclusion was arrived at after visits to inspect the land by Councillors, a consultation period with the public and a survey on the plants and wildlife presented to the Council by Dr.Chris Spilling, Vice President of the British Arachnological Society. Dr. Spilling who is a resident of Langton kindly produced this report in his own time after observing this area of land from January to July 2010. The general response from the public was "leave it as it is". The Council wish to thank everybody who 'had their say' and to Dr. Chris Spilling for his interesting report. Dr. Spilling has also kindly volunteered to keep monitoring this area for any new sightings and changes in the future.

Web Site

THIS WEB SITE: How can the Council improve this web site?
What information is missing that might be of use to you? Would you like to see local bussinesses advertised? Would you like more links to local clubs and associations? The Council are very keen to use this site to help communicate with their parishioners, how do you think we can best do this?

Have your say - Email with a subject of 'Web Site' to haveyoursay@langtonmatravers-pc.org


Langton in Bloom

LANGTON IN BLOOM: At this time of year the roads through many towns and villages are a mass of colour with hanging baskets and other displays of flowers. Would you like to see the same happen in Langton with our lamp posts and walls decked with hanging baskets? The council would like your views.

PARISH PLAN: It is now five years since the Parish Plan was published in 2005. This plan contains, as a conclusion, a list of recommendations of actions required based on the opinions of parishioners. Some of the actions have been completed, some partially achieved and others outstanding for various reasons. Should the Council now be thinking of updating this plan? Times have changed and maybe the aspirations of parishioners have also. Do we need a new action list with different priorities? This is on the agenda for the next Council meeting. What do you think?

Bus Shelter

BUS SHELTERS: Are bus shelters needed at Capston field? This would appear to be only possible if the bus stops were moved further westwards out of the village. Do you use these bus stops? What do you think? Is the extra walk worth keeping dry?

Council Resolutions



Minutes of the Council Meetings are not published until they have been approved by the Council at the following meeting, so are actually a month or so 'out of date'. However, the actual wording of any important resolutions and all comments relating to planning applications are displayed here as soon as possible after they have been passed.

Important Council Resolutions

It is very useful for the Parish Council when it is making its comments on planning applications to be aware of any objection/support that parishioners have made to PDC. Please copy the Clerk if you send a letter/email of objection/support to Purbeck District Council.
