The council will inform event organisers of the Balloon and Sky Lantern Release Policy by means of including relevant information within booking forms and other promotional materials.
The council will also at its own discretion and where appropriate include details of this policy within any new leases or licences of land and/ or buildings where permitted events take place at those locations.
An action plan and internal communications campaign will be formulated by hosted partnership project “Litter Free Coast and Sea” (working with Dorset Council Comms team) to ensure all council services embed this policy within their working and promote sustainable alternatives
A communications plan will also be formulated and implemented to call for the restriction of sky lantern and balloon releases by other landowners across Dorset, dissuade the release of sky lantern and balloon releases by Dorset residents and promote sustainable alternatives.
This Policy will be reviewed in two years’ time via an internal audit.
