“The judges were looking for the Dorset parish/town council or local community partnership that takes the most pride in its local environment and heritage. This will be a unique opportunity for Lyme Regis to highlight its distinctiveness and sense of place.”
Winning the award now gives ‘Turn Lyme Green’ the opportunity to work with an artist in residence on a special project to the value of more than £4,000. In its submission, the group said that working with an artist would enable them to think in fresh and different ways about what they were trying to achieve.

01/09/08 Shocking scenes at the recycling facility at the Co-op in Bridport!
The response from WDDC is in the Dorset Echo article HERE. We believe WDDC have a responsibility to provide adequate recycling facilities. Local people are clearly demonstrating their willingness to do their part and bring their recycling to the appropriate place. To suggest that the public are at fault shows a significant misunderstanding of the mood of local people and visitors alike. Since we started the TLG campaign we have seen a huge shift in public opinion. The public have clearly embraced this idea and it’s now up to the district council to take a lead, to accept the reality of the situation and provide adequate facilities.
