Children Lost and Found Hut in Weymouth


TV reporter Clive Gunnell is at Weymouth Beach in Dorset meeting the Entertainments Manager Mr Willand Bosworth on the new hut on the beach for lost and found children. Children drift off in all sorts of directions on the busy beach and the hut is the point of contact for frightened and lost children whose perfect day at the beach has dissipated like a receding tide. Weymouth has a three-mile long sandy beach and promenade and has long been popular with families.
