It seems everyone wants to get rid of the gasholder.

Typical of Weymouth – no thoughts except “how much is the site worth and how much can we make out of the deal?”

For those with a modicum of forward thinking take a look at www.gasometer.de where a redundant gasholder in Oberhausaen, Germany was converted into a fabulous modern structure with a much sought-after myriad of uses for the entrepreneur developer who was brave enough to take it on.

In Weymouth, once the envy of south coast resorts – no chance.

The powers that be could never aspire to such an advanced level of thinking.
