Dorset Shopper Permit Consultation

More information about the Dorset Shopper Permit Consultation

Organisation: Dorset Council

Residents in the West Dorset District Council area have been able to purchase a Shoppers Permit. Shoppers Permits allow 2 hours parking (limited to one use per day) or 3 hours parking if a disabled badge is also displayed. At extra cost to the purchaser, it can be used in in a second vehicle but not on the same day.

With the new Dorset Council covering the whole Dorset area, having the Shoppers Permit available in just part of the area is not fair. Therefore, the future of the shoppers permit is under review. We would like your views on whether it should be made available to the whole Dorset Council area or should be withdrawn.

The current Shoppers Permit is a cardboard disk which is displayed in vehicle windscreens. The new permit may be virtual where the registration number allows access for a set period in short stay car parks.

Runs from 30 October 2020 to 6 December 2020. Start now

Spice up Christmas

This is a rare promotion but I have bought from this website and I recommend it to anyone (I meet).

The Mumbai Spice Club is what is has in the tin: https://www.mumbaispiceclub.com. It delivers quickly from Leicester and I am sure there is a Gift idea in there for those looking to Christmas.

Worth a look even it it is just for the recipes.
