Engagement Round 2 Spring 2025

Engagement Round 2 begins with phase 1 of the delivery stage of the project with a 6 week long baseline survey period starting on 26th May giving the community the opportunity to have their say.  Events hosted by DCF will provide an opportunity for the community to see the work that has continued behind the scenes since spring of 2024 and meet new additions to the project team.

2024 created strong links within the community and we look forward to reconnecting for a successful 2025.

A Steering Group which will  be an oversight committee that provides guidance and direction to the project is in the process of being collated.

If you are interested in the opportunity to represent your community on this Steering Group please look out for nomination forms at our forthcoming events or contact Project Officer Matt directly at matthew.smith@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk.

Engagement Round 1 Spring - Summer 2024
During Round 1 of engagement, local communities and stakeholders provided us with a wealth of information and local knowledge on the area. The primary objective of this Round was to raise awareness of the project and collect preliminary data. The information provided will aid in creating a baseline scenario and will help the direction of the project going forward. Thank you to everyone who took part!
