Join STAND, the Thomas Hardy Society, Dorchester Transport Action Group and West Dorset CPRE at the Town Pump on Saturday 4th October at 10.30am. Dorset Council needs to hear your voice! This proposal for thousands of houses north of Dorchester between Stinsford and Charminster won’t bring us the housing we need, it will put our drinking water at risk, it will cover in concrete the landscape of Thomas Hardy, and will bring traffic chaos to the area.

Housing Needs
