ARE we living in a democratic country or not? It appears the latter.

I was furious to learn that the petition handed to West Dorset District Council against the development of Vearse farm, along with another against building on our car parks, have both been rejected on a technicality.

It is only what we have come to expect from WDDC.

They have a record of ‘we will do as we want and not what the people we represent want’.

I can only say to all the people that have signed the two petitions, contact the council and show your disgust at this outrageous action from WDDC.
