This was the question we posed to readers following a discussion this week on our Facebook page about our beautiful seafront.
The discussion came about after we posted a picture taken by Alex Iakoncic of the town’s seafront.

With so many comments, both positive and negative, we decided to create a poll, asking our readers what could be added to the seafront to make it even better.
The ten options ranged from installing public barbecues, more public toilets, more sheltered seating, and the introduction of pedalos to providing more public toilets, and building a skatepark and/or volleyball court.
Other options included finishing the restoration of the bandstand, and renovating Holywell Italian Gardens.

In joint second place were the options to complete the Wish Tower restaurant project and restore the arcade on the pier.
