North Dorchester Residents Survey

Marengo Communications, on behalf of the North Dorchester Consortium, is keen to know what the residents in and around Dorchester think about new housing and employment opportunities. We would like to know what services and facilities people think are important when new development is proposed, and what is important to them in choosing where to live.

This information will be used to help improve the masterplan for the development, providing or prioritising those things which matter most.

The survey should take a few minutes – thank you for participating. You are consenting to the processing of your data by filling in the survey. At the end of the survey, you have the option of registering for future updates, which you can opt out of at any time by notifying us. Your information is securely stored electronically and will be destroyed five years after the completion of the development on which you have provided your opinion. A copy of the full Privacy Policy is available here: https://www.northdorchester.org.uk/privacy-policy/
