The Best Guide for the BH15 Area

Hamworthy Matters Home Page

Hamworthy's very own on-line community hubbub facility.

The website is in its embryonic stage and it will develop into a comprehensive website site packed with the latest news from around the area, plus links to local organisations as well as information on local schools, clubs, churches, business...and much more.  

• In order to resolve the problem of workers parking all day long in Hamworthy Park, Councillors at the the Hamworthy East and West and Poole Old Town Area Committee (held on 10 June 2009) gave approval to a proposal to install  a lockable barrier / bollards at the entrance to Hamworthy Park's car park from 9.00pm until 10.00am.   The barrier will operate 7 days a week.   
• The proposed parking scheme for Lower Hamworthy has been rejected by local Councillors.  However, double yellow lines will be imposed in certain areas.  Rigler Road will have double yellow lines on both sides, as will Beccles Close.  Moorings Close will have double yellow lines along one side only.  In Ivor Road just a small section at the end of the road will have double yellow lines imposed. Double yellow lines also will be installed in locations which are considered to be danger zones - for instance on the Tuckers Lane /  Rockley Road  bend.

I live at Harbour Reach and I am very pleased that double yellow lines will be imposed on Stone Close, Broomhill Way and Norton Way. As quickly as possible please. Also looking forward to the footpath from Broomhill Way to the Blandford Road. When will this be opened?
