Superfast Broadband
Superfast Broadband is coming and it is hoped that it will be available to everyone in Dorset by 2015. The funding is now in place for the infrastructure and the next step is to start negotiations with commercial providers. In order to attract an enthusiastic supplier we need to show how much people want and need this service. You can help by filling in a short survey on the Dorsetforyou website and getting your friends and family to do the same. The survey can be accessed via www.dorsetforyou.com/superfast-dorset/register-interest . It takes seconds to complete and is totally private. Please do take the time to complete it.

Bere Regis Jubilee Party
Bere Regis will be hosting a Jubilee Celebration on the Bank Holiday Monday 4th June. The fun will start with the Pageant Parade, leaving Shitterton for a tour of the village at approximately 2:15/2:30. The Pageant will be led by the Majorettes from Poole followed by themed decorated floats and numerous village organisations providing a colourful and fun filled turnout. A steam engine and various motor vehicles will also join the parade.
Jubilee Celebrations and Commemorative Stone Signs
It has now been some time since many residents contributed to the Commemorative Stone Signs and we had hoped to have them all installed by now. Unfortunately, the weather has upset our plans and all the quarries are currently under water following the severe rainfall throughout the last few months. Luckily, two of the stones had been worked on prior to the worst of the rain and, with the exception of the inscriptions, are now more or less complete.
At the June meeting of the Parish Council, it was agreed that the two completed stones would be used for the Royal Oak site and the Milborne Road site (as these were both full) and they would be put in place as soon as they are ready. The Rye Hill stone will be installed as soon as it is finished. It is hoped that the first two stones will be in place and we will be able to organise an official unveiling some time in September but, as soon as details are known, a note will be sent out to all contributors and posted on the web site and on notice boards.
Thank you for your patience.
