As spring approaches and the weather warms, the temptation to get back on my motorcycle grows. So today I was tempted and headed down to Weymouth in perfect conditions to meet Inspector Barry Gosling and Chief Inspector Jim Beashel, two new appointees. Barry is in charge of policing Weymouth and Portland, while Jim has a slightly wider remit. Both men are experienced police officers and there was no doubting their commitment and professionalism. We talked for a long time, all in confidence. But it was useful for me to have an update on police matters in the patch, not least regarding the serious problem of drugs, which is countrywide.
