Every bit of the Mid Dorset and North Poole constituency lies within 5km of Dorset's precious heathland. Just 150 years ago, this unique environment covered much of Dorset but 90% of it has been lost and the area that remains provides a haven for wildlife and the setting for our lives.

The Liberal Democrats have announced they will invest £78.5m more in schools and colleges in Dorset over the next parliament.

The Liberal Democrats have announced they would plug funding gaps for the NHS and social care by putting a penny on income tax, in their first major manifesto commitment of the election campaign.

The tax would raise an additional £88.5m for Dorset, with £58m for the NHS and £30.05m for social care each year.
