Tomorrow’s Museum for Dorset Update ... Where we are….
Our planning application has now completed the consultation period and is awaiting a decision at an upcoming Planning Committee meeting. We continue to work closely with West Dorset District Council as our plans develop and are feeling positive that they will be supported in this upcoming meeting. The team continues to work towards the upcoming submission deadline for our HLF Stage 2 application in May. The project website and brochure are currently being revised with new images and text. We anticipate these will be ready for launch towards the end of April and we look forward to sharing these with you on completion. Please visitwww.tomorrowsmuseumfordorset.org and sign up to the e-newsletter for the latest developments
