"We quite rightly take pride in our democracy in this country. The BID concept is groundbreaking in that it provides a democratic means for businesses to improve their local area. Its essence is self help and fair play. This project has been developed entirely by members of the Dorchester business community and offers some good solutions to local business issues.
I'm delighted to give my whole-hearted support to a genuine grass-roots initiative and would urge you to vote 'YES' in the forthcoming postal ballot in February 2008. This is your chance to help Dorchester to realise its full potential and a YES vote is a vote for a brighter future for Dorchester."
Oliver Letwin
MP for West Dorset
"The BID is a great opportunity for businesses large and small to be fully involved in initiatives within the town that have a direct impact on our trading environment."
Jon Joynes

"I am very impressed with the whole BID concept. It's exactly initiatives like these that can help bring the business community closer together to achieve better results in the areas of security and safety. The whole community of Dorchester and surrounding district will see the benefits and I am delighted to say that a BID will have the full support of me and my team.
We feel that a successful BID will help make Dorchester an even safer town for all those who work, visit and enjoy the facilities here."
Inspector Les Fry
