Chris Loder MP held a forum on the 1st March at Winterbourne Abbas for over 40 businesses and charities. Attendees of the Dorchester and Bridport Business Chambers asked Mr Loder about various topics, including hospitality funding, nutrient neutrality, banking facilities and fuel prices.
Mr Loder said: “It’s been great to speak with and take questions from so many of our local business owners from across West Dorset. 97% of the businesses in West Dorset are small or micro-sized, and it’s vitally important that there is a forum for business owners to share their concerns or simply to ask me their questions. I’ll always be on the side of our small businesses, which form the backbone of our local economy.”
