It is surely time for all of Brighton and Hove to have a serious debate about the future of the West Pier.
Palace Pier owner the Noble Organisation will never be forgiven if it unwisely scuppers the well-overdue reconstruction project for its own ends.
How long do we have to wait to see Brighton and Hove's right-arm resuscitated?
Apparently, the largest demonstration ever seen here was against the closure of the West Pier back in the Seventies.
Let's hope there is still that momentum of support to push this project through before it's too late.
