Chalets restored to former glory

Chalets that were damaged in a fire in December 2015 have been restored to their former glory.

In December 2015 a fire in Greenhill Gardens totally destroyed two and damaged three chalets, with fire damage to the roofs and water damage.

Weymouth & Portland Borough Council along with local firm Hammond Building Contractors have worked on the chalets for eight weeks to rebuild and restore the damaged chalets to a high quality complementing their original 1920’s look. 

Cllr Andy Blackwood, Weymouth & Portland Borough Council’s Community Facilities Briefholder, said: “We are pleased to have been able to rebuild and restore the chalets that were damaged in the fire and return them to the licensees for use again. We would like to thank them for their patience while the work was carried out.

“As these chalets are historic structures and Grade 2 listed buildings, it was our duty to make sure that we built them back to their original state to the best of our abilities, which is not a quick job.

“The Greenhill chalets, as well as our other chalets along the seafront, are important features of the borough so we are glad to have them reinstated.”
