A campaign to restore the swimming rafts at Greenhill beach in Weymouth has attracted more than 4,700 petition signatures. The two platforms were removed by Weymouth Town Council in 2025 because of concerns over insurance and lifeguard cover. A nearby café owner says he has now found liability cover and wants to help bring the rafts back. Supporters say the platforms were a popular feature at Greenhill and are calling for their return.
