Dorchester Recommended for 2012 Park’n'Ride
Dorchester is being considered by Olympic chiefs to be used as a park and ride base, hoping visitors will adopt the system preventing their cars from adding to Weymouth’s already crippling congestion.
West Dorset District Council recently have also been asked to support the recommendation in preparation for the 2012 games. Scheme details emerged due to an update report on how preparations for the games are progressing.
Nick Thornley, community enabling officer for WDDC commented the Dorset Olympic Steering Group, responsible for planning and delivering the sailing event were looking at issues covering transport, event management, visitor management and communications to create a ‘lasting legacy’ for Dorset.
An initial proposal for a park and ride scheme, based on Weymouth avenue roundabout has already been rejected.
