As crossings to the Channel Islands continue from Poole - two million pounds worth of repairs at Condor Ferries' regular terminal in Weymouth are set to be approved today.

Essential structural repairs to the quay wall are needed - and if Weymouth and Portland Council give it the go-ahead at a meeting later, preliminary work could begin this month.

It should be completed by March next year, meaning the service will remain at Poole until then.
