Treatment agreed for Blandford Fly

A meeting was held on 4 November made up of North Dorset, East Dorset, Christchurch and Poole councils along with Public Health England, NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group, Freshwater Biological Association and local residents to consider the future treatment of the River Stour.

All partners agreed to continue with the treatment in the Spring of 2016.

The decision will now be reported to the Dorset Health Protection Network on 9 December who will be told that local authority and health funding arrangements have been agreed and that permission has been granted to treat the river.
