Welcome to West Dorset Commons!
We’re working to make the West Dorset a home to thriving people, in a thriving place, whilst respecting the wellbeing of all people, and the health of the whole planet.
We’re just getting started. We’ve now got over 30 local members contributing £5+/month and we’re in the process of incorporating as a Community Benefit Society.

Community Buses
We successfully applied for a £20k grant and then partnered with Bridport Town Council and Dorset Community Transport to launch the WB1 West Bay Shuttle pilot!
And we’ve just secured another £20k grant to launch another pilot: the LB1 Lyme Bay Night Link!
Join us to make more good things happen!
Big Quarterly Party
Spoken word, acoustic music, live bands, DJs.
Let’s showcase (and fairly compensate) all the amazing artists in Bridport!
Our first Best of Bridport event at The Lyric on Sat 13 May SOLD OUT
Let’s make sure everyone knows about ALL other Bridport.Events too
Media Co-op
90% of the national press is owned by just 3 companies – let’s tell our own stories!
West Dorset deserves a community-owned newspaper like The Bristol Cable, and more!
Check out Bridport.Media and Help make it happen!
Bridport Doughnut
The IPCC said we need “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society”.
That’s what it’ll take to get the West Dorset bioregion into the Doughnut, so that’s our goal.
