Dorset Council aims to overcome ‘silo working’ by improving communication and collaboration across departments, enhancing services for residents and organizations. Council leader Nick Ireland envisions Dorset as a model for unitary councils, emphasizing a need for change due to rising demands and limited resources. Council members express enthusiasm for this more integrated approach, focusing on resident needs rather than internal structures. Finance portfolio holder Simon Clifford believes these changes will reduce duplication and waste. However, councillor Shane Bartlett highlights ongoing funding challenges from the government that need to be addressed to fully support these initiatives.
