Wimborne residents have until January 22 to comment on plans to build a new showground and events facility at Lake Gates to the south west of the town.

As previously reported, Ensors Ltd has applied to build four open barns and a new visitor open space, with new vehicle access points and parking. Allendale Community Centre has confirmed it will be hosting a weekly indoor market on Fridays, that were due to be starting last week.

Wimborne Town Council said it was aware of local concern about the permanent relocation of the Wimborne Market and would continue to seek information from Dorset Council and update the local community accordingly.
