TWO Dorset councillors have accused the authority of gagging open debate. One has resigned a committee position claiming there is no point in being there if her voice is not being heard. Bridport councillor Dr Kelvin Clayton says that ‘angry’ is an understatement of how he feels after a climate change question for this week’s council meeting was ruled out of order. He and Lib Dem spokesperson for climate change, Cllr Marie Roe from Colehill and Wimborne East, had put forward a motion asking to support the Climate and Ecology Bill which is waiting for its second reading in Parliament.

Dorset Council plans to pull out of South Walks and move to County Hall, Dorchester DORSET Council is looking at pulling out of South Walks House in Dorchester and moving staff to County Hall. The idea is being suggested as part of an overall review of the council’s property and land holdings. Talks had been held about Dorset Police sharing the South Walks office, but the idea has now been shelved. Although the more modern building is cheaper to run, the County Hall site is larger with adequate car parking, while Government grants may be available to improve its energy efficiency.
