Bench could be a laughing stock

IF what we have seen designed by Studio Weave is the proposed construction of the longest bench made from slats, then at £500,000 this is a total waste of money.

It looks so uncomfortable, nobody will sit on it for more than two minutes and people will laugh at this construction.

As many other people have asked, where and how will people access the beach? Are there any plans available of this bench so that local people can view and express their opinions?

There were meetings in May with local businesses and councillors regarding the Littlehampton seafront, town centre and harbour strategy.

We were told that we would receive feedback on this very soon after the meetings. Here we are in August and we hear nothing. This is very typical of this town, all talk and no action.

I suggest local tourism decision-makers have a look at what other local seaside towns are doing to attract visitors. The way things are, there will always be very little tourism in this town.
