Development shapes travel; travel shapes the air; the air shapes health; and today’s decisions shape what the next generation inherits. 6 links measured from this postcode’s own figures — each ends in a question, not a forecast.

Today's reading is good (19), with nitrogen dioxide, the pollutant most tied to traffic, at 2.2 µg/m³. Air quality is a long-run exposure, not a daily event: what matters for health is the average someone breathes over years, not one good or bad day.
Over years rather than days, what would sustained exposure at this level mean for residents with asthma, COPD or heart conditions, and for children whose lungs are still developing?

Large developments within 1km that were granted permission in the last five years, newest decision first. These stay listed long after they drop out of the 90-day view above. A scheme is at its most visible on the ground exactly when it is quietest on the register.
No large scheme within 1km was granted permission in the last five years. That does not rule out building work. Smaller schemes and older permissions are not counted here.
Permission is not the same as building work. No open dataset records whether a scheme has started or finished, so these are listed as consented and dated, nothing more. In England a permission normally lapses if work has not begun within three years, which is why the window stops at five.

158 recorded across May to July 2026, against 198 in May to July 2025. The same three months a year earlier, so the comparison isn’t measuring the seasons.
Counts are of records, not convictions, snapped to anonymised map points and published about two months in arrears. A change of a few incidents at this scale is noise. The shape over a year is the part worth reading. The feed keeps about three years, so its earliest year will drop off as new months appear; figures already gathered here are kept.
Source: data.police.uk. Figures are police-reported incidents snapped to anonymised map points; they measure what was reported, not everything that happened.

Denser than 47% of neighbourhoods in England and Wales.

What Dorset charges for 2026-27, including the police and fire shares. Parish precepts, where they exist, come on top.

Of the Band D figure, £2,345.49 goes to the council, £322.58 to the police and £96.95 to fire and rescue. Your own band depends on your property’s 1991 valuation — check your band on GOV.UK.
