I HAVE just read the letter written by Ian Spracklen, I agree Weymouth does look a bit run down in places.
However, you have to understand the way people shop today with out of town super- markets and the internet and the high rates the council want to charge makes it hard for shops to survive in the town, like many other towns I might add.
But my real beef with this gentleman is that what a horrible statement to make about the tramps littering our town.
This made my blood boil they’re not all tramps they are homeless people, has the person ever taken the time to speak to these people and ask why they are homeless some have very heartrending stories to tell.
They’re not all drunkards and drug users.
Let’s hope Mr Spracklen does not fall on hard times or maybe I do, he might learn to show some compassion.
