A Big Conversation

It’s never been more important than now for Dorset Council to listen to our residents. By bringing voices together we can address issues, build connections, and create positive change.

‘A Big Conversation’ aims to create meaningful dialogue with our residents and communities, to see what you want from the council over the next 5 years.

To find out more, see our Big Conversation events page.
