Bus service serving Ferndown and Uddens Industrial Estates re-instated – thanks to local BID partnership with Morebus

Workers and visitors to Ferndown and Uddens Industrial Estates will once again have access to a dedicated bus service from Poole.

The FE1 service, which begins on Monday 20 February, is the result of a partnership between Morebus and the Ferndown and Uddens Business Improvement District (BID).

“We have been serving the industrial estates with our route 13 buses – but that means a significant walk for those working there,” said Morebus managing director, Andrew Wickham.

“Now, with investment from the BID, we are able to re-introduce our FE1 service – which was temporarily halted during the Covid pandemic. It runs from Poole via Ringwood Road – opening up the estate to those who don’t have cars as well as enabling those who do, to leave them at home and opt for sustainable transport instead.”

Danny Godfrey, chair of the BID, added: “The service, which costs £2 for a single ticket and £4 for a return, is aimed at employees but will also be available to people visiting the estates. It makes businesses on the estates accessible, especially for younger people, and means more people in the Poole area will have the opportunity to seek and maintain employment here – which can only be a good thing for businesses and the local community,”

The FE1 route from Poole to Ferndown and Uddens Industrial Estates – via Ringwood Road, Newtown, Alderney, Bear Cross and Longham – will run during times convenient to the businesses from Monday to Friday, except public holidays.

Wimborne Road roadworks from 7 March 2022

Construction is due to start in March of new sustainable travel facilities along Wimborne Road. It will form part of the 27km green travel route linking Wimborne and Ferndown with Poole town centre as part of the £100m+ south east Dorset Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) programme, a joint project between Dorset and BCP councils which will see the largest ever investment in sustainable transport infrastructure in the region.

The first phase of works, between Canford Bottom Roundabout and the Wimborne Road/Cobham Road junction, is due to start in early March and will be undertaken in small sections up to 400m at a time. The works, which will continue until the autumn, include:

• Converting the existing footway on the north side of Wimborne Road West to a new shared path between Canford Bottom Roundabout and Cobham Road
• Installing a new signalised crossing point at Stapehill Road and revising junction layouts where Stapehill Road and Uddens Drive meet Wimborne Road East, giving more space to people walking and cycling
• Improving the Cobham Road junction, with a new pedestrian and cycling crossing installed over Cobham Road and a new pedestrian crossing installed over Wimborne Road to make it safer and easier to access the westbound bus stop
• Upgrading bus stop locations along the route, including two new shelters at Uddens Drive
• Improved signage for pedestrians, cyclists and mobility scooter users to help people find their way around the area

The TCF programme team will be holding an event on the Ferndown Industrial Estate before the start of construction as an opportunity for you to find out more and ask any questions you may have. More details on the event will be shared soon.

The second phase of works, between Trickett’s Cross Roundabout and West Moors Road, is set to begin later in March. Details of the traffic management associated with both phases of construction will be shared closer to the start of works.

Dorset Council will also be working with Southern Gas Networks (SGN) on this project, who will be replacing a gas main between Uddens Drive and Cobham Road at the same time. This will combine the projects and ensure traffic disruption is reduced as much as possible. Southern Gas Network’s project starts on 7 February 2022.

In the meantime, you can see further details about the project and the TCF programme on the Dorset Council website.

Young Enterprise – Company Programme

Young Enterprise wish to recruit business advisers to help Ferndown Upper run 2 Company Programmes, as well as day employability programmes.
Volunteers will:

  • Meet with the students on a weekly basis for approx.. 1 hour, usually straight after school. (day and time TBC) Two people could like to work together to reduce commitment if needed.
  • Register on our volunteer portal so they can track their volunteering and access support: YE Gateway – Sign In (young-enterprise.org.uk)
  • Need to complete a DBS (police check) and a short safeguarding training. (this won’t take long and we’ll need to meet them to have a chat and check ID)
  • Would be provided with training
  • Have access to lots of online support

An impact report from last year is attached so potential volunteers can see the huge impact the programme can have. Ferndown Upper are offering this to year 10 and year 12, so it could be a great way for businesses to meet high aspiring young people. Contact Young Enterprise direct via the volunteer portal.
