'Dorset needs to start thinking as one destination' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week I attended the launch of Dorset’s new Destination Management Plan. I also sit on the board of the Dorset Local Visitor Economy Partnership, so I have had the opportunity to see first-hand the work and thinking that has gone into getting us to this point. But for me, this should be about far more than simply launching another tourism strategy. Yes, it is a plan for our visitor economy. But actually, it asks a much bigger question: can Dorset finally start working together as one destina
'Fix the pier but donât fix the surf out of Bournemouth' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE WAS an alarming warning this week from Bournemouthâs surfing community about the plans for repairs to Bournemouth Pier.

The new Prime Minister says he will spend much of August travelling around Britain in “listening mode”, hearing directly from communities about the cost of living and the challenges facing people and businesses. So here is my message to BCP and Dorset: invite him here. Now. And I don’t mean send a polite letter and hope somebody in Whitehall eventually replies. I mean our councils, MPs, business leaders, tourism bodies and hospitality sector sh
'We donât need near blanket 20mph neighbourhoods' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
EVERY so often an idea comes along thatâs presented as the answer to everything. This weekâs contender? Near blanket 20mph neighbourhoods. Â Now before anyone accuses me of wanting Formula One through residential streets, let me be clear. Outside schools, in busy housing estates and where there is a genuine safety concern, 20mph limits are absolutely the right thing to do; although I think 30 is plenty. But across the wider conurbation? We donât need them. The consultation is on so make su
