So please, don't have new and onerous parking regulations.

Of course, there have to be some rules and restrictions, but we have now reached the situation in the city where there is no possibility at all in many areas of taking a chance on making the briefest stop to run to a cash machine, or to post a letter or whatever, or even to let somebody out of the car.

Please consider the location of parking very carefully in any changes proposed in the Littlehampton development plan.

Families with children and all the paraphernalia required for a beach visit, also the very many older citizens you have in the area, place high priority of being able to park their cars as near as possible to where they want to go.

Even a moderate walk is out of the question, and the mention of public transport is positively ludicrous!

Don't forget that Littlehampton sits there for much of the year rainy, cloudy, windy and definitely not a place to linger, and consider whether it's worth turning everything upside down for the sake of that sometimes extremely short period of good visiting time in the "summer".

Why on earth would we need an enlarged grass area on The Green?

The best thing that can be done for Littlehampton is to improve the fairly dismal shopping area,which has been going downhill for many years.

What about an attractive covered shopping mall with some decent-quality shops, which would be really useful given the sort of weather we normally have?

One of the strong points of the rather tatty Littlehampton Market was that it was at least under cover.
