4. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PERIOD
07/93 Nicky Fenwick introduced herself and advised her role is to organise the Purbeck
Youth Forum (or Council) for 11-26 year olds to give them a voice (the age range is still being
discussed). She hoped to have the first meeting in November to set up the official group, a web site
was being created to increase communication and consultation. They will also set up conferencing
telephones for young people to dial in and take part. Work will include all youth organisations as
well as schools. Nicky Fenwick will report back at the next meeting on progress.
07/94 Robin Brasher mentioned the problem of speeding, inconsiderate parking and
inconsiderate cyclists in Swanage and Cherry Bartlett advised this would be taken up by the
Purbeck Task Group. Mike Hadly reported it had been raised at Swanage Town Council but the
police were only interested if there was danger rather than nuisance involved. Sue Bellamy advised
the police now had more speed guns to deal with this. Mike Hadly stated Swanage Town Council
had wanted to put notices on cars parked on pavements or inconsiderately but were warned against
in case of car owners accusing people of causing damage. There was unanimous support for 20
mph zones in Swanage and would go to full Council for discussion. Debbie Weller advised the
North Purbeck Task Group was still in discussions with Dorset County Council to have their traffic
wardens issue polite notices for inconsiderate parked vehicles and that the Group would pay for
printing.
07/95 Robin Brasher referred to the missing cats eyes in the road near Harmans Cross and
although many have been replaced, there were stretches of the road where none were visible and
visitors might have difficulty following the rural roads without them. Debbie Weller would make
enquiries.
5. BUS MATTERS

another 3 months has been found. Nine people are registered. The service will be reviewed in
January 2008.
07/97 Student travel in rural areas is a countrywide concern and some investigations have
shown the need to develop free and/or concessionary transport for them, agree national standards,
rationalise the funding, pilot 14-19 learning provision in rural areas and make education and training
