- Thursday 3 April from 3pm until 7pm at The Mulberry Centre, Weymouth
- Friday 4 April from noon until 4pm at The Mulberry Centre, Weymouth
Weymouth & Portland Borough Council Finance and Assets brief holder Cllr Peter Chapman said: “We realise that the Greenhill Chalets and associated facilities are a popular asset.
“We believe a new operator will be able to maintain and improve the Greenhill Chalets and associated facilities to a better standard than the council can afford to. The proposals are aimed at securing the long term future of the chalets and preserving the public amenities and access to the associated facilities.”
“Anyone interested in the site is welcome to come and see the proposals at the drop-ins and also submit their comments.
“Consultation findings will inform our decision when Management Committee comes to look at this in the summer.”
