What Will Cameron’s Big Society Plans Mean For Dorchester?

There has been a lot in the press about David Cameron’s ‘Big

Society’ plans over the past few days, and the reaction has been mixed.

The plans to create a culture of ‘volunteerism’ are set out

to improve communities and bring people together. Mr Cameron said the concept

would be a "big advance for people power".

In a speech in Liverpool, the prime minister said groups

should be able to run post offices, libraries, transport services and shape

housing projects.

There are volunteering projects all over our town already

but it seems to always be the same people getting involved and the same people

paying little attention.

Is Dorchester already a community with ‘oomph’ or is

there something that these plans could do to help us improve?

Would you like to get involved with to help improve our

community? What projects would you start up?
