On Tuesday morning, Dorset Council said it had “begun the process of recovering the vehicle”.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson said: “We appreciate the public’s patience and understanding.”<\/p>\n
Beaminster councillor Craig Monks said: “The reality of being disconnected from a utility like the internet is havoc for residents and business in Beaminster. <\/p>\n
“Accidents happen but we need to urgently restore connection.”<\/p>\n
Silvana Bandini, owner of the Ollerod restaurant, said his landline was also down and he was using his mobile phone as a hotspot to access “basics” such as emails, booking systems and card payments.<\/p>\n
He said: “Everything runs wirelessly – our printer is connected via wi-fi, so we can’t print anything. <\/p>\n
“Our music system is Sonos, which is all connected via wi-fi, so we have no music.”<\/p>\n
Beaminster Library said it was offering free wi-fi from 10:00 to 13:00 for anyone who needed it.<\/p>\n
Dorset Police said officers were called to “a report of a vehicle fire following a single-vehicle collision in Beaminster”. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson said: “The driver was not in the vehicle and enquiries [are being] carried out to try and locate them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Tuesday morning, Dorset Council said it had “begun the process of recovering the vehicle”.
