Weymouth Eye Attraction Approved!
The Dorset Echo has today broken the news that the Weymouth Eye tourist attraction, to be funded and run by Merlin Entertainments, the company behind Sea Life centres and the London Eye, have gained approval by town planners and is therefore clear to go ahead!
I would like to add that personally I think this is a very good deal for Weymouth and anything extra to draw visitors in can only be seen as a good thing by all, at no cost to the taxpayer!

And how, pray, are all these extra visitors going to get in and out of town, and where are they going to park? Don’t say park and ride, far too much hassle with small children and all their buggies and beach toys.
What clown thought it was a good idea to make the Esplanade single lane at the Clock? I live at Alexandra Gardens at it took me over half an hour to get along the front and out of town a few weeks ago – and when the Condor comes in, it’s even worse! The queue used to clear in less than twenty minutes, now the whole front is blocked for an hour at a time, with all those cars chugging out fumes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Condor took their business elsewhere….
It doesn’t work trying to go out past Asda, either – removal of the roundabout and all those lights with cars coming from all directions is dangerous. Coming along the Harbour from town, I had to wait for the lights to change FOUR times before I could get out.
Someone is strangling our town. Why?
