I read with interest about the hopes of the West Pier Trust to rebuild the west pier, pictured.

I am, however, not so keen to read that any plans for it would have to be approved and in harmony with the i360 tower.

I am a born and bred Hove resident and even though I love how diverse our city is, I do think the seafront has lost so much of its historic appeal.

Surely a rebuild in the Victorian style would not only complement the bandstand area but also set off this end of the city in regards to the Palace (sorry Brighton) Pier, which, in my opinion, is beyond tacky.

Bring back some historic charm around i360!
