As ever, we’re a gloriously mixed bag this month.
We’ve got some serious questions about maternity services at Yeovil Hospital. We’ve also been asking what happened to the unexpected millions in extra income from Dorset’s doubled council tax on second homes.
Then it’s over to teen boxing sensation Ruby White on her way to the Commonwealth Games, while we’re keeping everything crossed for equestrian Jess Rimmer as she waits to hear about a place on Team GB.
We’ll also be popping the kettle on with the Men’s Shed, meeting an oyster farmer, discovering how one of Wes Anderson’s most iconic film props was created here in Dorset, and bringing you the usual mix of letters, anonymous opinion columns, wildlife, farming and business news.
Oh, and paperclips may have been flung over this month’s front cover. We basically had five at one point, and NO ONE was backing down.
