World-class seafront: We owe it to future generations

A city has to have ambition. It has to embrace and cherish change. Or at least the possibility of it.

It is early days for the inspiring and imaginative vision - plan and blueprint are headline words - that really could mean a brighter future for Brighton and Hove, for its citizens, and for its visitors.

At last, we have an opportunity to come together to share such a vision for our city and its seafront. Joyfully and collaboratively - not in a niggardly manner that champions yesterday at the expense of the today - and tomorrow.

Councillor Geoffrey Bowden - and all concerned - are to be congratulated for a brave attempt to take at least the first tentative steps towards creating a legacy that lasts beyond this generation.

We should wish them well and join them on the journey. We owe it to future generations.
