NEWHAVEN, as Morgan Smith rightly says, does often feel like the town Sussex forgot.

And in the case of the incinerator and Kendal Court, residents must wish it really was. When the authorities think of where to send the homeless, Newhaven is often the answer. And when we needed somewhere to burn our rubbish, where did we choose?

It's easy to forget that many, like The Argus's Adam Trimingham, used to holiday in Newhaven. Good luck trying to pull up a deckchair on the West Beach these days, as it has been closed off by the port.

The truth is, if you head down to the quayside you will enjoy a lovely day. There is the new Lobster Shack, as well as two pubs alongside the harbour where you can watch the fishermen and the ferry head out to sea and back. The Tories promise investment in a town which will have its new store, The Range, opening on Friday.

It has a rich history, with Ho Chi Minh, Oscar Wilde and the King of France heading there in the past. The Vietnamese leader was a pastry chef on the ferry, which Wilde used. King Louis Philippe fled to Newhaven in disguise during the revolution.

The recreation ground and the nature reserve, as well as the fort, are beautiful.

And people like Morgan, who should be taken under her wing by Maria Caulfield, is one of the shining lights in a town which feels like it is on the up, if they get their way. Morgan and her family, investing money, time and effort into their shop and lovely cafe next to the football ground, deserve all the support we can give them.
