Bexhill Seafront Works 2010
posted by Yaz on 06 June 2010 at 12:42 pm
As i drove along Bexhill seafront, I saw that there was work being done, and I am wondering WHAT they are doing. I am also very interested to know WHY they are doing this work in the summer because many more people use the seafront more in the summer than in the winter.Thank you

WHAT Are They Doing Indeed!

There is a picture on the west end of the promenade (by the public toilets) showing how the development is supposed to look when it's complete.

Every time I look at it I ask myself

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING???"

Wasting Our Money Again!
posted by Julia on 07 July 2010 at 4:36 pm
If i am repeating myself its because this system decided not to play ball with me.
Anyway, yes what are they doing apart from wasting our money? You cant see from the plans at all apart from the fact that they are installing ugly benches and the odd coloured concrete ball for decoration which will result in kids climbing on them,falling off, parents sueing and them having to be removed again and the odd umberella. Apart from the fact that there is no parking and if you have kids you have to either stand them on the road to wait for you then cross over and then back again, or park miles away taking the fun out of going when the kids are tired from heat, and i am niggly with having loads to carry. Dont you think that the pot holes actually need this attention, not a seafront that was perfectly fine as it was. You cant please everyone i know but apart from the inconvenient time the works have been started i personally cant see why it needs doing or where we are all going to benefit and say 'wow it's amazing'! If the government are tightening their belts it seems crazy that millions are being spent on these un-necessary projects and the money spent where its acutally needed ie: the roads, which is costing us drivers more in damaged cars.

Basically the council screwed up again.

Voters

What is wrong with people in Bexhill?
Money wasted on a load of balls in Devonshire square, money wasted re designing a perfectly good prominade. What do we expect when all we do is keep voting in the same old councillors. Time for some common sense I think!

Where Are The Workers?
posted by Lesley on 11 August 2010 at 10:09 pm
We visited Bexhill today. We like coming here, but haven't been for a few months. We were appalled to see all the fences along the side of the road. How does one get on to the beach? No wonder it was so empty! Where were the workers who should have been working on this project? According to the notice it should be finished in October 2010. We shall return then and see how much has been done - I can't believe it will be finished. And what has happened to the big sundial?
