Today, as a man of Dorchester and Dorset it made me feel proud to be part of and witness a protest against the Charles Street New Office Development.

To be part of a historic event and hear the voice of democracy being heard was sincerely uplifting.

My thanks to the organisers on delivering an outstanding protest along with the people of Dorchester and Dorset.

I wish the people associated with this development would just listen to the collective voices of reason and stop this crazy project.

The funds that are being given to it are so desperately needed by the county and I feel that if they realised that we would welcome the change in direction and admire it.

So once again, will they please stop listen and think?
