This summer, Dorset Council’s new Cabinet members are asking residents to help shape their plans and priorities for the next five years. Following the local elections in May, councillors are working through their proposed priorities and want Dorset residents to be part of that.
Cllr Ryan Hope, Cabinet Member for Customer, Culture and Community Engagement, would like to host ‘A Big Conversation’ with residents from all backgrounds across Dorset.
He said: “We are in the process of creating the new Council Plan. This is so important for everyone in the area as it sets our priorities to deliver over the next five years.
“We created our manifesto based on what we learned while campaigning. But are we on the right track? ‘A Big Conversation’ is about talking to our residents and communities, and asking what they want from the council over the next five years. Your feedback is valued and will make a difference to what the council delivers.”
Residents can also give their thoughts and feedback online. Find out more on the website: www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/a-big-conversation. This can be accessed on computers at libraries and there will also be paper copies available there.
