Despite tourism being West Dorset’s largest employer and Dorchester’s TIC receiving over 180,000 visitors last year, the District Council is looking to cut this service drastically to save just a few thousand pounds!  Two options are being considered – closing the staffed office completely or retaining a much-reduced service with fewer staff, fewer things on sale and re-located to the library.

Neither option is very good for our economy, our tourism or the promotion of our wonderful heritage.  I am opposed to any cut and will join with other Councillors and community groups to fight this decision when it comes before WDDC’s Executive Committee later this year.
