Screaming children in restaurants, houses with windows wide open drowning the neighbourhood in a sea of noise, late at night buzz-saw motor scooters along the seafront and the man who, in the early hours of the morning, walks by my bedroom window yelling obscenities at the top of his voice to nobody in particular.

HERE is a thought, work has started on the new leisure centre, much of it hidden behind a long green wooden fence with a few peepholes cut into it at different heights so we curious voyeurs can see what is going on.

Why not a few attractive murals as well, just as they often do on large building sites in London?
