Leader of the Conservative Group at Dorset Council – Cllr Spencer Flower is delighted that Mike Barron has joined the Group. It can be seen as a ringing endorsement of the positive work this Conservative administration has achieved in driving transformation, economic development, the environment, Adult Social Care, children's services and much more. It demonstrates that having an optimistic and positive vision for Dorset will achieve far more than negativity, cynicism and party politicing. I feel sure that Mike will be a great asset to our team at Dorset Council and I, as Leader, along with Paul Harrison as his Corfe Mullen Ward colleague, look forward to working with Mike. A warm welcome to our Group.
