Plans afoot for two West Dorset village communities

Lower Winterborne residents can have a say on how their community will be developed in its Neighbourhood Plan. Dorset Council approved a request from the parish council to designate a

Neighbourhood Area, the first formal stage of preparing the larger plan.

The application includes the parishes of Winterborne Kingston and Anderson but omits Winterborne Zelston.

Those interested in helping with the preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan can contact parish clerk Alison Clothier at clerk@lowerwinter borne-pc.gov.uk

Queen Thorne Parish Council near Sherborne has also said it wants to change its area to the Trent Neighbourhood Area, retaining the parish of Trent but excluding the parishes of Over Compton, Nether Compton and Sandford Orcas.
