Weather disruption
Winter weather is causing disruption to services in some parts of the county. Find out what services may be affected in your area.
At midnight on 31 March 2019 the following councils ceased to exist and have amalgamated to become Dorset Council:
The respective lists of assets of community value for each of these councils are now closed to new entries and any new nominations will be considered by Dorset Council. Dorset Council will also be responsible for any assets of community value on these closed lists that are still within a five year time period since nomination.
The 'Community Right to Bid' allows an eligible community group to nominate an asset (building or land) of community value to be included on the council's Asset of Community Value List. If the council agrees to place an asset on the list, the landowner will be required to inform the council of his intention to dispose of the asset. Furthermore, there would be a temporary hold on the sale (moratorium) of the asset for up to six months to enable a community interest group(s) to put a bid together and secure funding to make an offer. The Community Right to Bid does not confer a right of first refusal or guarantee the community group's offer will be accepted.
There are currently no nominations under consideration.
