THE case for making rail improvements in Dorset was put forward by West Dorset MP Chris Loder.

I’m sorry to see Richard Drax using his column in the Echo for a rant against his former employer of nine years, the BBC.

AN ONLINE petition against a huge 4,000 home development proposed on green field land north of Dorchester has been launched by an MP. MP for West Dorset, Chris Loder, has launched the online petition which urges residents to voice their opposition to the Norchester North of Dorchester development, which has also been met by fierce opposition from locals and a campaign group, STAND (Save the Area North of Dorchester.)
