“THE public has shown clear support for merging Dorset’s nine main councils into two, local authority bosses have claimed.
They revealed the results of a consultation which showed majority support for turning Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch into one authority, with another to cover the rest of the county.
The consultation saw 4,258 questionnaires returned out of the 20,000 sent to selected Dorset households. Another 12,542 were filled out online or in person by people responding to the call for views.”
