Springdale Road Open Space
For those residents in the south of the village, the Town Council maintains part of Springdale Road Open Space working alongside Dorset Wildlife Trust where you can enjoy lovely walks within 11 acres of Upton Heath Nature Reserve.
Amenity Planting
The Town Council looks after the planting and maintenance of both Windgreen and Cogdean roundabouts.
Grit/Salt Bins
Six strategic grit/salt bins are supplied by the Town Council and maintained by Dorset Council as the Highways Authority are located in the following locations:
- Towers Way public car park, next to Corfe Mullen library
- 2 on Hanham Road
- Highmoor Close (located in the cul-de-sac turning circle green space)
- 2 on Hillside Road/Wyatts Lane
Dorset Council as the Highways Authority replenish the grit/salt as part of their winter programme. Dorset Council Highways are also responsible for maintaining the highways, including any winter treatment it sees fit. Requests for siting of grit/salt bin(s) and determining whether its a community or strategic grit/salt bin(s) are made by Dorset Council Highways.
The Town Council does not provide community grit/salt bin(s) in the village. Community grit bins are replenished by Dorset Council Highways at the start of each winter free of charge.
Bus Shelters
The Town Council have installed bus shelters around the village for bus users. We currently own and maintain the following bus shelters:
- Windgreen roundabout, Wareham Road (south/northbound)
- Wareham Road by the junction of Corfe View Road
- Wimborne Road by the Lambs Green Inn
Requests for bus shelters are assessed by the Town Council on a case by case basis. Should any requested be supported, the installation of a bus shelter would be subject to consultation by, and permission from, Dorset Council Highways. It is important to remember, not all bus stops are suitable for bus shelters, due to width restrictions or visibility issues.
