I didn't really envisage climbing on to my soap box when I set up this blog but there again, I didn't really envisage the sale of the Summerland site for possible residential development.
There has even been a facebook group set up in the name of 'KEEP SUMMERLAND FOR RECREATIONAL PUPORSES' and despite not being overly struck on networking sites, I decided to join up to that particular cause and below is my contribution:
It has been suggested that any leisure development should be on the former bus staion site. However, that area is already a bottle neck for traffic while Summerland has great accessibility for all.
Car parking could be incorporated into any scheme and the new bus service from the South runs right past. The service to the North could be re-routed and it surely wouldn't take a genius to link in the West too.
If it takes some residential accommodation/hotel/whatever to advance the project then so be it, as it is a massive site and tourists no longer visit in such great numbers but we must safeguard this as a national asset and provide the people of this Island with a facility of which we can be proud.See more
