I THINK we need something which will be used all year round by residents and tourists and suggest a first class Indoor Climbing Wall. We do have a local mountaineering club, The Wessex, which celebrated its half century last year and as a past member I know that they would be pleased to advise you.
We live in an area of outstanding geological interest and also have climbing areas nearby at Swanage and Dancing Ledge.
You could also arrange trips to Lyme Regis and the Isle of Wight where there is a wealth of fossils, so also a geological museum would be appropriate.
Lectures could be arranged to stimulate interest and school visits would be popular too. I feel sure visitors would use the facilities particularly on wet or cold days, and go on the outings.
We have enough cinemas and empty shops now so how about something a little more original.
