I think Wimborne would benefit greatly from having a webcam in the square. Now would be the perfect time to install one. It will show our beautiful town to folk who are thinking of visiting.

I know of other towns who have webcams and they prove quite popular. A very good idea. Perhaps Wimborne BID could make this happen.

Excellent suggestion DomCar. I've emailed them. Thank you.

I am also awaiting a reply to the two emails I've sent to the Council, and to the Chamber of Trade and also the Mayor.

Fingers crossed. for our very own webcam.

No thank you, I feel that there is enough Surveillance in Wimborne from all the CCTV cameras. If a webcam is desired then could we not use images from the CCTV rather than a creepy webcam.

Not sure much could be achieved with a webcam that's not already covered by some excellent local photographers. The square, much as I love the place, is hardly a hive of activity most of the time...bus...cars...old people...schoolkids...repeat ad nauseum...and of course the dreaded roadworks! A decent webSITE showing everything off is a good idea, though.

I like that idea wimbornelad, something along the lines of Google Street, but specifically for our town. This would be a brilliant idea for people wishing to visit Wimborne, as they could look it up on the website and travel virtually around the town before they actually arrive, planning the places they wanted to visit in advance.
