GOOGLE’S controversial Street View is going live across Dorset today.

The addition of Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding area has been long anticipated since Google’s modified camera cars were spotted at work here almost a year ago.

And the images they took will now be accessible around the globe after Google launched almost full UK coverage in the early hours of this morning.

The innovative online photo-maps will allow any internet user to wander around the county’s towns and villages virtually.
