The road closures since September affected trade in Lyme Regis, as shoppers were confused by road closed signs.
Dorset and town councillor Belinda Bawden worked hard to get the “open for business” message across. She organised a Christmas market and produced a map showing numerous festive activities and events.
Belinda Bawden says: “So many of our shops, pubs, restaurants and local organisations went the extra mile to show Lyme was very much open. Creating the ‘Christmas in Lyme Regis’ map seemed the best way to show the range of gifts, treats and fun family experiences on offer here.”
