We need a cinema

THANK-YOU, Dr James Walsh for speaking for whom, exactly, when you are quoted (Gazette, July 28) as saying “We don’t need a cinema, we have the Windmill Theatre”?

I have lived in Rustington for 10 years and find it positively mediaeval that we have one screen and no choice.

In the same issue, I took Dr Walsh’s point and checked to see what is showing. Great – Kung Fu Panda. Hardly the viewing choice of anyone over a young age.

It is very quaint having the Windmill Theatre, but isn’t it time we moved into this century? Chichester and Brighton give us the choice and standards that the modern cinema-goer of any age wants . . . if you want to add petrol costs and traffic jams to the experience. Both cinemas are just too far.

People come to this area on holiday, taking British weather into account. Why aren’t we providing decent leisure facilites for visitors and locals which would provide employment in Littlehampton?

Surely this would be better than more supermarkets and more houses. We certainly don’t want or need any more of either.
