The parishes affected are Anderson and Winterborne Kingston in the district of North Dorset and Bere Regis and Bloxworth in the district of Purbeck. Consequential changes to local government electoral areas are made.\nThe map forming part of this note (page 4) gives a general guide to the areas affected.
