Wool Parish is a rural parish in Dorset comprising two wards, Bovington (6 councillors) and Wool (9 councillors). Roughly a third of the land in the parish is owned by the Ministry of Defence. The only land owned by Wool Parish Council (WPC) is Wool recreation field, Meadow Lane play park, The D’Urberville Centre (village hall) and two small green spaces, The Cross and Millennium Square. This severely restricts Wool Parish Council’s ability to provide facilities for the parish, particularly in Bovington and Cologne Road.

​Full parish council meets monthly and as do the two committees: the Policy and Resource Committee, and the Recreation, Amenities and Environment Committee. Information is disseminated via this website, social media, notice boards, drop-in sessions and a monthly newsletter (online and paper).

Services provided by WPC include a play park, a skate park, a recreational field, a dog and litter warden and various street furniture such as benches and bus shelters. WPC partners with other organisations to provide a youth club, a community library, The D’Urberville Centre and allotments.

​Recently completed projects include a new skatepark, defibrillator provision and a new finance/payroll system. Ongoing projects include the development of a Neighbourhood Plan, the reintroduction of public toilets and working with Dorset Council to improve public transport.
