The Dorchester site which families are moving from TRAVELLING families who need to move from Dorchester to a new site on the outskirts of the town have won the backing of the town council to get power to their homes. The site, off Slyers Lane at Cokers Frome, already has other services, including permission for its own sewage works, but according to Dorchester town councillor Alistair Chisholm getting electrical power has proved difficult. He told the town council that the fairground families, who for decades have been based at the old Flax Factory site in St George’s Road, Dorchester, are having to move because their site, based around an old barn, is being re-developed for housing.
