TV & Radio reception	Currently being surveyed and dealt with by WEDBAG  (West Dorset Broadcasting Action Group). The ultimate aim of WEDBAG is to secure an acceptable coverage for digital TV and Radio for all West Dorset homes at an affordable price.  They also want to ensure that local news programming is established for all to see and listen to.  Although WEDBAG is acting for a wider area, Burton Bradstock is as important to them as every other area of West Dorset.	Draft plan to include a statement supporting WEDBAG in that Burton Bradstock residents should be able to receive the same level of TV and Radio coverage as other area of the country

Community Facilities	The Village Hall is a valuable asset for many groups.  The current hall is not in the best state of repair, and the village plan should indicate a desire to consider the location of any replacement hall carefully. Some groups currently dependent on the Village Hall include the Bride Valley Scouts and the Parents & Toddlers Group.	Provide a multi-purpose village hall adjacent to sporting facilities. The village Library and Reading Room are assets and their use should be encouraged
