Funding has been allocated to a number of projects in Sturminster Newton by town councillors, who agreed to seek quotations from three groundwork companies for enhancements to the entrance to the trailway.

They also agreed to the placing of planters at the Market Cross to enhance the area, but to monitor usage over the summer before allocating £1,500 towards seating in the area since its use had decreased since the partial lifting of covid restrictions.

The cost of electrical points in the Railway Gardens had originally been estimated as £7,000, and it was agreed to obtain a new quotation from SSE. The installation of electrical points at the War Memorial Recreation Ground to benefit both the Cheese Festival and the grounds team has been approved.
