Solution is simple

I WONDER if I speak for the vast majority of local motorists absolutely fed up with trying to manoevre their cars through what is best described as the narrowed artery of the short section of seafront between the Sackville Road roundabout and Park Road.

It is only a few hundred yards, yet with parking allowed on both sides of this busy curving section, drivers have to try and squeeze through at best. At worst, there is no alternative but to sit and wait until the way ahead is clear.

The solution is simple: permit parking on one side only, say on the north side outside the front doors of the residential properties, across the road from what was until recently the De La Warr putting green.

It would cost no money (there are no parking charges to consider) and the only loss would be a few dozen spaces.

The gain would be to the countless number of drivers daily threading a way through, and the creation of a more relaxed and civilised environment in this most important part of the town.

After all, isn’t this what the local authority seeks to do in spending our millions, rightly or wrongly, on bulldozing the seafront to the western extremity?
