Footfall Data
Dorchester Town Council installed a footfall counter on South Street outside Goulds Fashion Store in August 2024. This data is published for businesses in Dorchester and businesses interested in opening in Dorchester to use.
Dynamic Dorchester (including the footfall counter, seasonal awards and business testimonials) is set up and delivered by Dorchester Town Council through the Town Centre Action Group. This working is been carried out to support existing high street retail sector and also help attract new businesses to either relocate or start-up in Dorchester. Funding for this work has come from Dorchester Town Council, Dorchester BID and Dorset Council.
