Outlandish trio

Surely the authorities who designed and allowed such a structure to be erected must have realised that, given such an inviting surface so easily within reach, it would be an irresistible temptation?

In addition, the structure provides a challenge for the local youth, who use it as a climbing wall.

The council has even erected ‘no climbing’ signs on the building, presumably to cover themselves when accidents occur.

What greater incentive or challenge do young people need? I watch with interest from my flat as youths become more and more daring in their attempts to conquer the summit.

So now our beautiful seafront has a climbing frame which replaced a serviceable and useful shelter, an uncomfortable bench and now the addition of adventure walls.

Many of us consider all these to be totally unfit for purpose.

Where will it end? The authorities seem to spend our money giving so little thought to the sensible planning of our seafront.

Why can they not produce something appropriate and practical, instead of forcing us to accept such outlandish and unwanted designs.
