Having been in both Weymouth and Dorchester today (Monday) it seems quite clear that people still love visiting our town centres and that real shops will always have a place in our lives.

Such a good vibe with a feeling of excitement!

Add in the wide selection of eateries in both towns, then I foresee not such a bad future for this part of the county.

We do it so well.

Finally, a word of praise to the business owners who, quite obviously, have put a great deal of thought into how to present their individual businesses now the lockdown has been significantly eased.

Well done.
