Hi,

Just to say there is an important and probably ground-breaking Cabinet Executive meeting in Dorchester tomorrow (16th June), Tuesday, at 2.15pm where they will effectively I believe be recognising that the attempt to develop Charles St has failed once again and they will be deciding whether it is nevertheless worthwhile knocking down the Community Church at a cost of around £1 million to clear the ground (and make some more parking spaces available)

 

It seems particularly difficult to get a copy of the vital paper but it can be reached by clicking on:

Scroll down to the bottom of the agenda to ‘Charles St Phase 2’

This is the train hitting the buffer as we have predicted for 6 years. It’s awful. But I have to say it is at least something that the new Cabinet Leader (whose last comment before the election was ‘I have not heard it’s not going ahead’ ) appears now to be confronting it. It is the issue of course that comes up most often at our Petition signings.  I will be attending and hope there will be a good public group, though the issue has not been publicised at all in the local papers that I have seen.
