    Well, if someone would figure out how to help people on limited incomes in stonebuilt buildings in conservation areas, that would be a start.

    Dorset Council should not put net zero above all other considerations. We already have 4 giant turbines near Wareham which are a terrible blot on the landscape from the Bulbarrow and Cheselbourne areas of the National Landscape and the Purbeck hills. There is now a proposal to instal a 135m turbine at Bere Regis which will be taller than Salisbury Cathedral and will tower over the landscape. The main industry in Dorset is tourism and this is not just on the coastline. Studies prove that visitors do not appreciate giant turbines disrupting the landscape. Well screened solar is preferable but the ancient Dorset landscape can easily be ruined if more giant turbines are approved.

    Higher rainfall is increasing flooding and kerbside drains can’t cope.
    I live in a new build where planning permission was dependent on the inclusion of an attenuation tank for surface drainage but it’s not working as the main is blocking with leaves, rubbish etc.
    I realise that potholes are a priority but lack of good drainage makes those worse too- another cause of roads becoming unusable.
