THE provisional date for the public hearing about the Local Plan for Bridport is December 4 at West Dorset District Council offices in Dorchester, after the hearing re Beaminster.

The Local Plan sets out the main building developments for Bridport for the next 15 years, such as: 

  • major development at Vearse Farm
  • development for the car park behind Waitrose and for the Coach Station and Coach Station car park areas.

Please show your support for Bridport by coming to the hearing.

Seats can be individually booked by contacting Mrs A Christine Self, programme officer, Homefield House, Homefield Road, Saltford, Bristol BS31 3EG, telephone 01225-872654, Fax 01225 872654, email ac.self@blueyonder.co.uk

I think it is in Bridport’s interest to show that people care about what happens to the town by filling that 180-plus seat hall.

SARAH HORNIMAN, Bridport
