Weymouth Beach
Graham Winter, who was the former mayor of Weymouth during the pandemic, compared his tenure to now as restrictions are lifted - and said it was great to see the town full again.
He said: "It was a struggle when I was mayor particularly for the hospitality industry.
"But I've been out over the weekend and it's great that people are enjoying themselves and to see the town full.
"It seems the hospitality industry, which Weymouth is famed for, is getting back on its feet - although some businesses are struggling with staff numbers. Hopefully as the summer progresses, staff numbers are no longer a concern.
