Dorset Council’s Big Conversation
Here in Dorset, we’ve seen some big changes recently with the local election in May, and a change of national government following the General Election. As part of the new administration for Dorset Council, we want to create a new council plan. This will set out our key priorities to be delivered by the council over the next 5 years.
We want to make change happen.
This summer, we’re launching ‘A Big Conversation’ across Dorset, and we want to hear from you, our residents. Your voice is important. What do you think the council should focus on over the next 5 years?
