THe No. 73 daily bus service to toller ended in september 2016 but.....
Dorset Community Transport have decided that they are able to provide a PlusBus service on Fridays, serving Toller Porcorum and Maiden Newton and going into Bridport. They are currently aiming to start this service from Friday 9th September, for an indefinite trial period.
Any parishioners who think they might wish to travel can register with them as soon as they like, either by email <Dorset@ectcharity.co.uk> or by calling 01258 287980, which is their passenger line and is available between 9.30am and 2.30pm. Then to book a seat you will need to contact them by 2.30pm on the Thursday before travel. The return fare is £5.00, and they are currently unable to accept concessionary bus passes.
It is likely the bus will be passing through Toller at approximately 9.40am, getting into Bridport at 10.20ish, leaving again at 1.20,but this has yet to be finally confirmed. If you have any queries in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact them.

Power cut? New phone number 105 launches in September |
On 6th September 2016 a new national phone number “105” will be launched by electricity network operators for customers to call should they need to report or get information about a power cut in their area. As key stakeholders who work with members of the public who may be affected by power cuts, Western Power Distribution wanted to share this information with you. This a nationwide service that may well be of benefit to you and them.
Key points to note about this service are: · Dialling 105 will put customers through to their local electricity network operator – the company that manages the cables, power lines and substations that deliver electricity into homes and businesses in their area. · 105 is just one of the ways that customers can contact their electricity network operator. Customers can also contact them by phone or via their website, and most network operators are on social media too. · 105 is a free service for people in England, Scotland and Wales. · Customers can call 105 no matter who they choose to buy electricity from. · Customers can also call 105 if they spot damage to electricity power lines and substations that could put anyone in danger. If there’s a serious immediate risk, they should call the emergency services too. If you have any questions or would like any further information, do let us know by contacting us on 0800 096 3080 or info@westernpower.co.uk. |

when to dial 101 to contact the police |

Telephone fraudsters are again targeting Dorset residents.
People are being tricked by cold callers into either transferring money to a fake bank account or by sending a courier to collect it from your home address.
Protect yourself from criminals – NEVER give out your pin number or bank details to ANYONE who calls you, no matter who they claim to be, or where they claim to be from.
If you receive a call from someone who wants your bank details:
Hang up the phone and call 101, ask for the relevant Police Force and get the details they provided corroborated. We understand 101 can result in a long wait sometimes, but rather that than losing out on your hard earn money.
