I am very pleased the Barfleur is returning to the port of Poole, which is obviously good news for the local economy.
I refer the statement made by Cllr Ron Parker that he is hoping to arrange for a civic and twinning party to sail on the first crossing.
I hope the cost of this “jolly boys outing” for him and the chosen few is not to be met by council tax funds, at a time when Poole Council are making stringent cuts to staff and services.
