Move the TIC
10:22am Thursday 26th August 2010 in
My husband and I spend time every year at Weymouth and were surprised to see the Tourism Information Centre had been moved.
This is the first place we head for as soon as we can as it is great to browse around the shop looking at the leaflets, books and souvenirs.
This year the theatre was not at all inviting and is definitely not the place to promote good feeling for the holiday.
I must say the staff are doing a sterling job and always as helpful as ever.
I do hope somewhere better is found, maybe more central and easier to walk to for the elderly and less able-bodied.

Maybe I could enlighten you that even before it was moved, (to prop up the ailing finances of the theatre), a huge campaign took place when a huge response via a petition gathered many thousands of signatures which was followed by the decision to be aired at a full council meeting, but by then the new tenants were in, where they are likely to remain till the end of 2011.
Coincidently these new tenants aim to bring tourists to Weymouth, then ferry them out to their holiday park. Rich isn't it?.
What is needed now, is for some enterprising group to finance a retail outlet in the centre of town, where ready & willing locals would be only too pleased to act as local informants to everything Weymouth.
Think of the logic, tourists arrive by train or coach to the area anywhere between the Jubilee Clock and the Kings Statue. Someone has to walk half a mile to the Pavilion then half a mile back to impart the information they have gathered to their friends who have waited an eternity. And they say we're daft!.
