Plans submitted to demolish Weymouth former bowling alley
No decisions have been made about the St Nicholas Street site though
A former bowling alley in Weymouth looks set to be demolished.
Dorset Council have now submitted a planning application to tear down the old MFA Bowl at St Nicholas Street.
That's despite no firm decision about the future of the site.
Cllr Andrew Parry, Dorset Council’s Portfolio Holder for Property and Assets, said:
“Should this planning application to demolish Weymouth Bowl be approved by the committee it will contribute significantly to our ambition to regenerate Weymouth’s waterside economy. From the £19.5m Levelling Up Funding and other grants we’ve secured; Dorset Council is investing big sums of money in Weymouth right now.
“Demolition work is continuing at pace and on schedule at North Quay, and at the other end of Weymouth Harbour, the Quayside Regeneration project is now well underway to provide improved facilities for our harbour businesses, all of which make considerable contributions to the local economy.”
Comments can be submitted on the demolition plans to Dorset Council until 31st January, through their planning website.
A decision will then be made by the planning committee.
