The Dean of Salisbury, Canon Nick Papadopulos, will be joining Canon Simon Everett to conduct a church service on Friday 29 March 2019, looking back at the life of Purbeck District Council.
The District Council was formed in 1974, and on 1 April 2019 it will be replaced by Dorset Council.
Councillors and staff, past and present, as well as residents are invited to the service which will commemorate the District Council’s administration over the past 45 years.
The service at the Priory Church of Lady St Mary will commence 2pm on the 29th.
This is the biggest change to local government in Dorset since 1974, so the service will be an opportunity to mark this occasion and thank all those who have been involved in the Council’s work over the last 45 years.
On 1 April, the district and borough councils of Purbeck, East Dorset, North Dorset, West Dorset, and Weymouth and Portland, and Dorset County Council will be replaced by the new Dorset Council.
Initially, there will be little visible change, for example, Westport House, Wareham will remain the first port of call for local council services.
The post Church service to mark end of Purbeck District Council appeared first on Dorset Council news.
