Dorset Council receive £650k grant for domestic abuse support

The grant will fund a new duty providing support for victims and their children, including safe accommodation. This is part of the government’s forthcoming Domestic Abuse Bill. Chairman of the council’s People and Health Overview Committee, Cllr Andrew Kerby, welcomes the news. He said: Domestic abuse is unacceptable, and we are committed to preventing it, supporting victims and prosecuting offenders. This money, and the Domestic Abuse Bill, will strengthen our response, providing adults and children with the right support. The council has also enforced the fact that Dorset residents experiencing domestic abuse can still receive confidential advice and support amid the pandemic.

Have your say on Dorset Council Local Plan before March 15

DORSET residents only have a few days left to have their say on Dorset Council Local Plan. The plan is a draft Local Plan containing proposals for guiding future development in the Dorset Council area. The consultation for this plan ends on March 15 and the plan, once adopted, will guide decisions on planning applications in Dorset until 2038. Dorset Council Portfolio Holder for planning, Cllr David Walsh said: I am very pleased and encouraged by the number of people engaging and commenting on the Dorset Council Local Plan. If you haven’t responded yet, there is still time. Even though we are consulting during a pandemic, our statistics are showing a huge increase in the numbers engaging in the local plan process compared to previous consultations. We have also had input from all ages and from all parts of the county.
