I am furious at the Noble Organisation's seemingly cynical attempts to delay the restoration of the West Pier.

Not only did it change the name of the Palace Pier without consulting the people of Sussex but also this latest attempt to delay rebuilding of the West Pier has shown, once again, how out of touch it is with local heritage, history or opinion.

One can only believe its sole concern is lining its own pockets. When is it going to realise there is room for two piers in Brighton?
