The new council offices in Dorchester must be the biggest waste of money in the county for a long time.

I hope the people responsible are proud of what they achieved.

Is it any wonder we have to make do and mend with regards to a theatre in the town?

Told we cannot afford the facility we were promised (the Maltings) when money is wasted on this scale.

A theatre that would have attracted much-needed business to shops, restaurants and pubs to the town and provided the county town with a building that everyone could benefit from.
