SOME time ago in your Looking Back feature you published an old picture, above, of Weymouth’s North Quay as an open space with boats for hire on the backwater.

Before the plan to build affordable homes on the former municipal offices site is rubber stamped could I make a suggestion?

Due to excavations, we now know where the original High Street was.

The road could be diverted in a loop onto the old High Street returning back to the North of the McCarthy and Stone edifice.

Any construction work could be done to the south of the road beneath Chapelhay ‘gardens’ and the current road and Municipal Office site made into a waterside park.

This would greatly enhance the area and as a spin off possibly have a redesigned “suicide junction” which is much needed by Asda.
