200 new jobs is good news for local economy but more needs to be done
25th November 2006 - Andrew McLean
“It is extremely good news that we are attracting new jobs to West Dorset,” says Dorchester Councillor Andy Canning. “The Duchy deserves praise for what it has achieved but West Dorset District Council needs to do more to make sure that the whole district attracts new employers - not just Poundbury.”
Local Lib Dems want to see the Council take a far more active role in promoting the unique attractions of re-locating to West Dorset such as the quality of life, the Heritage Coast, our beautiful environment and our rich history and culture.
We also need to do more to support existing local businesses with advice, good quality premises and low rents where necessary. We want to see particular support provided to sustainable industry such as local & organic food producers and rural crafts.
