Saltdean's Ocean Hotel, formerly a Butlin's, has been empty for months and is progressively resembling a deteriorating, derelict eyesore.

It is an attraction for anti-social behaviour and a waste of precious residential accommodation.

I suggest it be quickly turned into a comfortable home for elderly people, with in-house medical facilities and a shop.

Such accommodation is apparently shamefully scarce, causing bed-blocking in hospitals for one.
