The Argus (November 4) carried two depressing pieces of news. Firstly, the Madeira lift on the Kemp Town seafront probably cannot be restored.
Secondly, it has taken 24 years after the old Black Rock swimming pool was closed to draw up a shortlist of bidders to develop a leisure scheme for the site.
This needs to be considered in conjunction with the unattractive state of the Peter Pan Playground on Madeira Drive and the new units at the Aquarium Terraces that cannot be let.
No wonder many people are deeply concerned about the proposed West Pier development.
We do not need indecision, an inappropriate development and new buildings that will sit empty because no one will lease them.
We need a dignified development of the pier and the adjacent seafront that enhances the area and delights tourists and residents.
