Hello listers! I promised to keep in touch. Here is a real pearl of bad faith - or perhaps he didn't quite understand the question....? I rather like the capitals which make me tremble! I will of course copy you in on my answer, because I AM ABLE to respond, but I will have to think it over for a while just to cool down and stay polite as far as possible!

Web cams that are available are online with more to come so WHY are they NOT available until April? How do you know we ARE NOT doing our best? Why is it a poor presentation of the town? What performance would you like? Why are we a Tourism Economy region? For your reference: Weymouth and Portland Borough Council is a LOCAL AUTHORITY and NOT a tourism site. The services we deliver are for the Borough although we do attract visitors from further abroad and you as one are most welcome. Sorry to say that our Web Cams are simply not a desperate issue as there are other more important issues to deal with. If you are able to respond to my questions 'I will try' answer them. Thank you Details: No webcams since april Complaints page just lists 'we will try' to do our best, but not very convincingly. Very poor web presentation of the town, not very encouraging for foreign visitors who expect a much better performance from a supposedly tourist economy-based region.

For the trembling Geoff: Live webcam in Weymouth - go to www.weymouth-weather.co.uk There on the home page (scroll down a bit and wait for it to load) is a live webcam beaming from Preston towards the Nothe and Portland. I have inside knowledge that this is a normal webcam (home use one) with a pair of binoculars attached. :-) You can also find out about the weather for Weymouth.
