RESIDENTS are being encouraged to read Dorset Council's latest strategy document on the climate crisis.

The council has published its Climate and Ecological Emergency strategy document online and is asking members of the public to look through it and respond with feedback.

A spokesman for Dorset Council said: "Our work to help tackle the problem in Dorset is incredibly important. Just sitting by and letting others address this crisis is not an option. We need to work together to overcome this monumental challenge. What we all do – or don’t do – to address this climate and ecological emergency will impact our children, grandchildren and every other generation for centuries to come.

"If you haven't done so already, please take the time to read our strategy and action plan, and then let us know what you think. You don't have to answer every question and can save your progress so you can come back later to complete."
