THERE will be increased police patrols in Weymouth after a group of teenagers deliberately started a fire in a play park. Police and firefighters were called to Wyke Gardens on Portland Road at around 6pm on Thursday, April 8, after a group of youths started a fire. The group of teenagers had gone by the time police and firefighters had arrived and, although officers carried out a search of the area to try and find them, they were unable to. The event has prompted the police to announce they will be increasing patrols in the area. A spokesman for Dorset Police said: We received a report at 5.51pm on April 8 relating to a group of teenagers starting a fire at a play park on Portland Road in Wyke Regis.
The Park District and inset, Cllr Jon Orrell Extra parking spaces should be available for residents of Weymouth’s Park District after a decision to reduce holiday accommodation permits. It will mean holiday businesses in two zones (A & C) losing permit spaces for customers when they expire – with guests offered a substitute parking permit for the Swannery or Lodmoor car parks. The lack of parking in the area has long been a problem with the area having not enough spaces for people who live there. Residents petitioned the council in January 2019 demanding changes with a consultation held later in the year attracting 273 responses, the majority from residents. One in five who responded did not have a permit at the time.
Boats sunk by a mini-tornado at Ferrybridge in the 1950s Freak weather patterns may be something more akin to the 21st century and global warming. But this picture shows that the unpredictability of Britain s most talked-about feature was still in force in the 1950s. Some time around 1957 a mini-whirlwind at Ferrybridge, Weymouth, flipped these yachts over and took them all up to the Fleet. The photo was shared with us by Jenny Farwell back in 2006. In the 1950s her father worked at Whiteheads torpedo works in Wyke Regis and also co-owned the Ferrybridge boat shed, where the boats were moored.
