Dorset Green Councillor for Lyme and Charmouth, Belinda Bawden, has been working with local businesses to help them to set up a new business group in Lyme.
Several business owners stepped forward to help coordinate it and Tom Robinson, of Tom’s on the seafront, is the first chairman. With a fast-growing membership of over 80 local businesses, the new group is a welcome additional voice to Lyme’s active community.
Councillor Bawden has discussed operational and funding options with key people at Dorset Council. She says: “I’m
looking forward to liaising with the business group on a range of events and consultations to keep our area lovely
and thriving for all who live and visit here”.
