What will 2011 bring Wimborne Town?

It looks like the hard economic times we are experiencing will continue, as evidenced by the recent closure of the long running and established Wimborne Sports. Will the new shops opening in the town help to stabilise the situation, or will they too fall victim to these hard times?

Then there’s the public enquiry for the Wimborne Town Green to be conducted; what will be the outcome of that? Will the Keep Wimborne Town Green campaigners win out or will Waitrose be allowed to stay? To be truthful it’s hard one to call with support for both sides. I would personally like to see Waitrose removed from Wimborne even though my wife is all for the shop and has even been there a few times. I think this will be the hardest fought battle in the New Year.

Will the planned updating of the Canford Bottom roundabout for the 2012 Olympics finally get under way, and will it cause more traffic problems than it is designed to solve? If the updating goes ahead then the Wimborne bypass and the roundabouts at the other end also need to be looked in to, or it will end up in one giant mess.
