  Mid Dorset and North Poole MP Annette Brooke is to back the Daylight Saving Bill to look at the benefits of moving the clocks forward an hour. The bill calls on the Government to hold a comprehensive review of the benefits and costs of putting the clocks forward an hour throughout the UK, which would result in lighter evenings all year round. I know this isn't strictly speaking about Wimborne, but I thought it was an interesting topic...

  Wimborne residents have been asked to have patience and wait and see the benefits the Wimborne Square revamp will bring. Heavy criticism has been levelled at the £410,000 project and the disruption it will cause, with some, like resident of 40 years Barbara Wathen, convinced it will actually kill off business in the town for good. The Town Council and East Dorset Council are keen to push the message that the town is open for...

  You can't say they haven't saved an old building from rotting away to nothing, but is Wimborne's new pub The Man In The Wall actually any good? I visited it last Sunday and I have to say it did appear to be very popular, especially with families, and everyone I've spoken to say it's been full to bursting when they have gone as well. My biggest bugbear with most Wimborne pubs is in my opinion they don't really cater for families. They...

  A new children's clothes shop Mila & Milo opened on West Street before Christmas. The shop is the first owned by Rhiann and Ivan Miteusla who have both previously worked in retail. "Our decision to focus on children's wear was based on the lack of choice in Wimborne and surrounding areas for 'not on the high street' clothing.  We felt there was an obvious gap in the market and wanted to start up our own business,"...

  Wimborne Square will finally get its long awaited makeover when work starts on pedestrianising the area in January. The £410,000 project will see the loss of car park spaces in the square, which will be replaced by a wider pavement, and an area that can be used for public entertainment. Safer crossing points will also be introduced and it is hoped the wider pavement area will help encourage al fresco dining. The money for the...
