Future of Brighton and Hove seafront could be up to you

Brighton and Hove City Council wants to hear people's views about the Seafront Strategy
The future of Brighton seafront is up for grabs and you can have your say.
A “Seafront Strategy” is being developed to improve the coastal stretch from Hove Lagoon to Saltdean.
Brighton and Hove City Council wants to hear suggestions for possible improvement to the Volk’s Electric Railway.
Council officers hope to repeat the trick of the early 1990s, when the regeneration of the area between the Palace Pier and West Pier kick-started a revival in Brighton.
Twenty years on, the aim of the seafront strategy is “to develop the unique character areas of the iconic Brighton and Hove seafront to create attractive, sustainable, high quality environments for residents, businesses and visitors throughout the year”.
Council staff are setting out to canvas opinion at exhibitions at King Alfred Leisure Centre, on February 18, at Saltdean Libarary, on February 22, at Yellowave in Madeira Drive, on February 27, and at the Fishing Museum in King’s Road Arches on March 2.

I've lived on the seafront for 5 years, and the council can't seem to fix the drain on Kings Road in front of Kingsley Court, which backs up everytime it rains.
This drain drenches passers by, including tourists, ( they must get a great opinion of the city as they dodge the spray ) when cars and trucks plough through the huge puddle.
The council contact person claims its not anything to do with them, and tries to blame the water company, and despite sending drain clearing trucks once or twice, they seem totally indifferent to solving a basic but huge problem, which third world cities would have done by now.

This enables everybody to point the finger of responsibility elsewhere with the result that you have experience of "nothing happens". Some may argue that it's a great way of saving money, if you do nothing, it costs nothing however the cost of maintaining an empire that does nothing is considerable!
This made me chuckle.

Bring back the excellent Dolphinarium.
Tear down and burn all the rainbow flags.
Reintroduce a tram system.
Round up all the drug addicts who cause most of the crime.
Plenty of room for improvement.

So one thing the council could do with any left over white marking paint that was used for the 20 mph road markings is to repaint the ones on Kings Esplanade before someone is injured by irresponsible cyclists!!!!!

I have noticed that the “NO CYCLING” signs by Hove lagoon have been repainted yet the ones on Kings Esplanade are almost unreadable.

I never use the cycle lane after breaking my collarbone when a woman let a dog out in one of those elastic leads and it bolted across the lane.
