<p>We are now considering carefully the unitary proposal on which the nine Dorset
councils have been working, and which six of those councils have formally submitted,
together with all the representations we have received to date, including the material
submitted by East Dorset District Council under cover of a letter of 21 February from
the Council Leader and by Christchurch Borough Council under cover of a letter of
22 February from the Council's Acting Leader.</p><p>Our intention is to reach and
announce an initial decision as to how we are minded to proceed as soon as practicable.
Once we have announced our initial decision, there will still be an opportunity for
those interested to submit further representations, including any additional material
which East Dorset District Council or Christchurch Borough Council wishes to submit,
before we take our final decision.</p>
