I READ in last Friday’s Echo of the 520 parking fines issued to rogue drivers.
In Weymouth, during this bumper year, all our car parks are overflowing - apart from our Park and Ride which is lucky to have a dozen cars using the 1,000 slots available. Why is this? – because Dorset Council in their wisdom have only the “Park” system available. In other words, no ferry service to the town centre.
In the past a shuttle service ran between the park and the town centre on a regular basis.
This is just another example of the lack of interest and consultation with our town councillors that the Dorset Cabinet have shown by their past decisions.
Apparently a meeting is to be held in August to discuss this! – CRAZY – we need the decision now before we lose our loyal holiday makers for good, fed up with our lack of parking places available.
Get your act together Dorset Council, and quickly!

Town resident
