    The plan - which is not related to proposals to cut the number of councils - would see the creation of a new authority involving representatives from all nine councils as well as the Local Enterprise Partnership.

    Andrew Flockhart - who is also the lead officer for the Dorset Combined Authority - said officials were working to iron out technical issues with the proposal, which was submitted to government last year.

    He said the creation of the combined authority was a "very different proposition" to cutting the number of councils from nine to two.

  6. Weather latest: Chilly evening ahead

    After a bright and clear start to the day, it will remain dry and cold into the evening. 

    Temperatures will quickly fall further overnight, leading to a widespread sharp frost and perhaps isolated freezing fog patches.

  8. Revolving artist studio nears last few weeks

    The second year of a travelling revolving art studio is coming to an end.

    The Observatory project has seen six artists each spend two months working inside the temporary studio in two locations, Mottisfont and Beaulieu.

    Identical in dimensions, one is a weather tight space for the artists, the other open for the public to use.

    The structures remain at Buckler's Hard until 21 April.

    Its organisers have said it's hoped the structures will move to the Jurassic Coast if funding can be secured for a third year.

    The idea is a follow on from the Exbury Egg - which saw artist, Stephen Turner spend a year working inside a giant egg anchored on a Hampshire river.

    Under the plans, Dorset's nine councils and the Local Enterprise Partnership, would work together on key issues.

    The government previously said a decision would be made in early 2017.  

  12. 'Relief' as texting driver's sentence is upheld

    The brother of a cyclist killed by a van driver who was texting a message to arrange a dog walk on his mobile has said it was a  "a relief" the original sentence has been upheld.

    Father-of-two Lee Martin, 48, was taking part an organised cycling event when he was hit by Christopher Gard's van on the A31 near Bentley in August 2015.

    Gard lost his appeal earlier to have his nine-year sentence cut.

    Lee Martin

    Lee Martin's brother Darrell said "It sends a signal that using a phone at the wheel can cause deaths, and it's a benchmark that strongly shows the original trial judge was correct.

    "We're glad it's over."

    Gard, 30, from Alton was jailed on 5 September after admitting causing death by dangerous driving. 

    He had seven previous convictions for using a phone at the wheel.
