Work to renovate Weymouth Harbour's peninsula quayside includes a fish landing quay.
New facilities for fishermen are being built on a disused area of a harbour in a bid to "kickstart" the waterside economy of a resort.
Work to renovate Weymouth Harbour's peninsula quayside includes a fish landing quay, a refrigerated store and an ice-making machine.The changes have been funded by a £3.79m grant from the government's Coastal Communities Fund. The money will also pay for a fuel pontoon and new compound areas for storing harbour and fishers' materials.
The pavilion and car park on the peninsula will not be affected but there will be no public access to the developments while the work is taking place.Ray Bryan, Dorset Council's portfolio holder, said the authority was committed to "kickstarting Weymouth's waterside economy". He added: "Our harbour businesses contribute significantly to the local economy so we hope these changes will help us retain that talent in the town, as well as making it a more attractive place for start-up businesses to consider positioning themselves."The lesbian activist seeking marriage equality in India
