Community Conversations are taking place across Dorset to help shape future plans and priorities. This page shares local updates, themes and outcomes from conversations taking place within this area.

Community partners, including town and parish councils, local charities and other organisations, take part in these discussions. In the longer term, a key aim of this work is to bring decision-making closer to communities.

If you have an idea or suggestion you would like to share, contact your town or parish councillor, or Dorset Council ward member. You can find out who represents your area through My Local Information.

If you're new to Community Conversations, find out how conversations are taking place across Dorset and how local feedback is helping to shape future plans.
