EAST Dorset District Council meetings will now all be held at Allendale Community Centre.
It follows the recent closure of the Furzehill Council Offices near Wimborne.
Civic meetings will now be taking place at the newly refurbished Quarter Jack Suite at the centre in Hanham Road.
Richard Jones, democratic services and elections manager, said: “We look forward to welcoming people to the new venue in Wimborne. The Quarter Jack Suite has been fully refurbished and I am pleased that the space is now able to be used by both East Dorset District Council and the wider community.
“Thank you to the team at the Allendale Community Centre for being so accommodating and allowing us to use the centre to host civic meetings. We hope that both staff and visitors will see the benefits that the refurbished room, improved ICT equipment and newly installed Wi-Fi will bring.”
Whilst the council meetings move to Allendale Community Centre, the local council offices in Wimborne remain at Allenview House, in Hanham Road.
The first meeting to take place at the centre is the annual council meeting today.
