I was very much incensed by the report in The Argus of yet another delay to the building of the Brighton Eye proposed for the seafront (The Argus, December 15).

What is going on in this city of ours? It seems to me there is a group of people determined to scupper, by any means possible, the improvements to our town.

Improvements which would enhance it and bring in many visitors and much-needed cash, possibly helping to alleviate the rising cost of the Council Tax.

At the last count, there were six or more projects proposed, all of which have suffered delays to various degrees: the improvements to Brighton Marina, the skating rink complex at Black Rock, the Brighton Eye, the stadium at Falmer, the highrise building at the station site and lastly, the rebuilding of the West Pier, the sabotage of which nobody has been brought to account for.

So I ask again, what's going on?

Let's have some answers and, above all, some positive action instead of all these delays. I want my city to be a vibrant, modern place to be proud of, not a Victorian museum.
