Fears for mackerel.
Would Councillor Daryl Turner and West Dorset district Council’s leisure and tourism manager, Nick Thornley, please reconsider their plans to allow jet skis in Lyme Regis?
Jet- kis would ruin the family nature of Lyme.
Not only would these self-indulgent people create noise and endanger swimmers, body-boarders and those using inflatables, they would also drive the mackerel - on which so much of Lyme’s tourism depends - further out and damage the business of those who have lived in Lyme all their lives and for whom mackerel fishing trips form a significant part of their livelihoods.
If readers would like to write to support the campaign to keep jet skis away from Lyme, they can email to n.thornley@westdorset-dc.gov.uk.
