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!
