MYTHS & FACTS
Some of the Poundbury myths have gone full circle and are returning like a game of Chinese whispers . These are the most common put together by the Poundbury Residents Association
1 MYTH : People aren ’ t allowed to hang out their washing in their back garden . FACT : This is one of the most common and is absolutely false .
2 MYTH : Poundbury is a separate gated community and is run by the Duchy .
FACT : This is not true . Poundbury is part of an urban extension of Dorchester and is part of the town . Poundbury is not a separate village and town councillors , district and county councillors all represent the residents and take a keen interest in the development .
3 MYTH : Removal lorries aren ’ t allowed
FACT : This is not true and has never been the case . Of course people need to move in and out all the time . Removal lories are allowed outside the house or apartment and within the resident ’ s bays .
