Every time I look at the Weymouth tower I shall be reminded of the total failure of our powers that be to do a good job in view of the forthcoming events in 2012.

Any person who visits Portland and tries to use the public toilets, one by the car park and the other on the bend by the park – both adjacent to the village – will find a decrepit mess full of litter.

What sort of message will this give our visitors?

Third world countries do far better. We will be judged on this.
