Welcome to West Dorset Commons!
We’re working to make the West Dorset bioregion 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. Our plan is to incorporate as a Community Benefit Society as soon as we get 20 local people contributing £5+/mo

Bus to West Bay
Imagine how cool it would be if there was cheap and regular bus to West Bay and back again all weekend!

Media Co-op
90% of the national press is owned by just 3 companies – let’s tell our own stories!
Bridport deserves a community-owned newspaper like The Bristol Cable, and more!
Check out Bridport.Media and Help make it happen!
Bridport Doughnut

That’s what it’ll take to get the Bridport bioregion into the Doughnut, so that’s our goal.
