We have continued to deal with the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to Dorset.
You can hear about our great opportunity to create a new school and centre of excellence, helping to improve lives and save money.
The Climate and Ecological Strategy is now complete and going before Full Council in July for sign-off by Dorset councillors. This has been an incredible effort by officers and councillors which has received national recognition, and much needed funding from central Government. We are also grateful to organisations and residents who made a huge input.
We are also leading on ground-breaking work to improve lives through technology, such as robots to reduce the use of chemicals in farming.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Dorset Council News and I wish you a safe and enjoyable summer
Councillor Spencer Flower, Leader of Dorset Council
