The Board approved and noted the progress made towards delivering the AONB ITEM 4: Dorset Local Authorities’ governance review Hilary Jordan gave an explanation of discussions and developments regarding the organisation of local government in Dorset. All the councils in Dorset (the County Council, six districts and the two unitary councils – Bournemouth and Poole) have been exploring new ways of working together to promote economic growth. In November 2014 the Department of Communities and Local Government awarded Dorset councils £755,000 from the Transformation Challenge Award Fund to enable the councils to jointly assess the best way of delivering economic development across Dorset. Officers from the councils agreed a report that all Dorset councils are currently considering setting out the findings of the assessment work. The report concludes that the formation of a Dorset Combined Authority offers the greatest benefits in delivering strategic economic development and transport infrastructure planning across Dorset. If set up, a Dorset Combined Authority would be a new organisation in addition to the existing councils. Each council would be represented on the Combined Authority by its Leader. A Growth Unit would provide the staff resource to support the Combined Authority. If all the Councils in Dorset agree to the proposal, a case for the Combined Authority will be submitted to the Secretary of State. Not all councils have yet considered the report. Those that have considered it so far have either supported it or asked for further information. In addition, and quite separate to the discussions about the Combined Authority, four councils in the East of the area recently announced their intention to consider setting up a unitary authority. The Councils are two districts - East Dorset and Christchurch and the two unitaries - Poole and Bournemouth. If this proposal goes ahead, these four councils would be replaced by one council. Following this surprise announcement, the leaders of all of the nine councils in Dorset have now agreed that they need to explore 3 options which are: 1. do nothing – stay as the current 9 councils; 2. form two unitary councils to replace the existing nine councils; 3. or form one unitary council to replace the existing nine councils. Clearly there is still some work that needs to be done before any conclusions can be drawn. In the meantime it is business as usual for all of us and there are currently no implications for the management of the AONB. If that changes, we will, of course, let partners know. In addition to the above considerations, a possibility for devolution exists following the Government’s Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill. This would involve the statutory granting of powers and resources from central government to local government (whatever shape that takes in Dorset), so that powers ordinarily delivered from on high would be devolved to a local level. Bids would be required from a partnership of authorities working together to the same aims. Difficult to know whether that is possible in Dorset at the moment, but it is certainly an opportunity we should consider. 4 AONB Board Chairman JW mentioned the Dorset & East Devon

  • Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site Management Plan 2014 – 2019 Foreword by the Chair of the Jurassic Coast Partnership, Doug Hulyer
    NIO M O UN IM D R T IA A L • P • W L O A I R D L D N H O E M R I E TA IN G O E • PATRIM United Nations Dorset and East Devon Coast Educational, Scientific and inscribed on the World Cultural Organization Heritage List in 2001 Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site Management Plan 2014 – 2019 Foreword by the Chair of the Jurassic Coast Partnership, Doug Hulyer Special places need special care. That is what this Management Plan is about and for; building upon the enthusiasm, expertise and commitment of a host of partners – organisations, communities and individuals – to deliver world class care of this World Heritage Site. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the global importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. In so doing, it confirmed what so many people had long known – that these 95 miles of coastline are rich in stories and a history of deep time, as well as being a place of enormous beauty, home to a wealth of wildlife, a thriving culture and vibrant coastal communities. This is a living landscape that reveals its secrets unceasingly from season to season and storm to storm. People love this place and it is our responsibility as the Steering Group to ensure that the Jurassic Coast is not only well cared for and protected when necessary, but also realises the full human potential that World Heritage status confers. This is a responsibility delegated to us by the UK Government who are ultimately responsible to UNESCO for its care.

    Holistic Transport Review Rural Bus Services Review – Consultation Response Report. Dorset County Council is looking to save £500,000 from a review of rural bus services and is asking local people how they would be affected.
