Join a virtual tour of Weymouth and help shape town's future
Four workshops are being held for us to have a say
Those who live, work or visit Weymouth Town Centre and Harbourside will be given the chance to join a virtual tour of the area this September and give their views on what makes this part of the town unique.
They can have their say on which areas and buildings they most admire, and which parts could be improved.
Their opinions will help to shape future neighbourhoods in Weymouth by developing a set of design codes for developers. The codes encourage good design reflecting the unique character of the area.
Each virtual tour will cover a different part of central Weymouth, including Northern (Train station and Swannery car park), Southern (Peninsula and Brewers Quay), Western (Harbourside including North Quay Offices) and Eastern area (Town Centre).
The four workshops are being held as part of the Weymouth Neighbourhood Plan design code work which is part of the Government’s Pathfinders programme.
The tours run from TODAY September 21st to 27th, and it’s easy to pre-register an online place using the Eventbrite links below:
Wednesday 21st September, 7.30pm to 9.00pm – Northern area (Train station and Swannery car park)
Thursday 22nd September, 1.00pm to 2.00pm – Southern area (Peninsula and Brewers Quay)
Monday 26th September, 7.30pm to 9.00pm – Western area (Harbourside including North Quay Offices)
Tuesday 27th September, 1.00pm to 2.00pm – Eastern area (Town Centre)
Cllr David Northam, Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, said:
“It’s vital that we get the views of the local community involved in shaping future developments in our coastal town, including new homes, buildings, and amenities such as shops and workspaces.
“The outcome will be a design code that takes on board the opinions of people who live, work, and visit Weymouth so please join one of the workshops and share your thoughts and ideas whilst taking a virtual tour of Weymouth.”
