A Digital Infrastructure Strategy for Dorset

Digital Dorset

Please extend our thanks for the engagement of those who attended and I look forward to continuing these conversations in the future as we seek to improve digital connectivity across the county.

I attach a number of the stimuli that I used during the session, however I heavily caveat them with the statement that they are only a stimulus for the workshops and do not represent Council strategy / policy and should not be used by your members other than to remind them of the conversations from Friday’s workshop.

Any questions don’t hesitate to ask and thank you again for your support on Friday 16 June. I look forward to working with your members again in the future.
