Robin Cook, town mayor
“I have suggested that the Wimborne Minster & District Chamber of Trade supports a ‘Welcome
back to Wimborne’ initiative following the re-opening of Canford Bridge at the end of October.
It has been taken on board and a committee formed to organise events.”
Although the bridge will be under traffic light control for around a further three months
after the October re-opening, it will be a milestone event for the town and the organising
committee hopes to celebrate it with street entertainment, special offers and possible
car parking refunds.
