OPEN GRAND VIEW OF BAY

9 August 2005

Now the Slip Bridge has reached its resting place, I wonder if the council could remove those ugly, useless abutments and open up a really grand view of the bay for residents and visitors? And could we do something with the stonework?

I would like to see a semi-circular bandstand with steps all round to the beach, with a few slides for the children.I

am sure families with three or four children, who can't afford bus fares every day in the holidays, would appreciate an alternative to Blackpill.

I would also like to see a replacement toilet block near the old site, and please not a squat, grey, windowless structure like the one in the Quadrant.

What about an innovative round structure with red bricks and a conical roof? Something we can look at and use with pride in the years ahead.
