Dorchester and District Labour Party have announced that Dorchester local resident, Chris Williams has agreed to chair the public meeting on housing on the 25th November in the Corn Exchange.
Chris said, “I was delighted to be asked to chair such an important local debate. I have lived in the centre of Dorchester for many years. Like others, I am concerned that many of the younger generation may never be able to afford to live in their home town.”
Dorchester Labour party have also announced the key organisations invited to take part in the public meeting. Invitations to speak have gone to representatives at Shelter, Magna Housing Association, City & Country – the developers of the Dorchester Prison site and the Councillor for housing at West Dorset District Council.
Claudia Sorin of Dorchester Labour said, “We wanted to ensure that residents could ask questions of key stakeholders in the future of housing in the Town and District. We are inviting housing providers from both the profit and not for profit sectors along with the council and those who have to deal with housing problems.”
Members of the public with views or questions on the future of housing are encouraged to attend the event to be held at the Corn Exchange.
