Should such a small sewer warrant a delay?
Do you kow if orders have been placed with any contractors?
I'd expect most of the delay is proving that the new bored pile foundations of the I360 will have no effect to the existing southern water tunnel that runs under the beach. Southern Water and their insurers will want to be sure that there are no new loads applied to their tunnnel also they are probably surveying the tunnels and fitting it out with movement detection equipment. |

The real question is....
As the A259 will be ok, will the building affect cycle lanes? |

having worked on the TA; it was proposed to fill in the steps to the regency square subway and remove the pinch point where the cycle lane slews around the steps to mitigate the conflict between cyclists and the greater number of people on the upper promanade. Also, a few years back a cyclist died when he rode straight down the steps. so the council were quite keen to fill them in. it should happen as part of the works..but you never know.

I've been looking at site and I think that the people of Brighton would benefit from my latest idea for the tower. Naturally there will be protests from outraged vegetarians.
It's a work of art I tell you.
Bring your own pitta bread mind. |

| It looks a bit more hygenic than what is on offer in all those windows along Western Road. |

| A reliable source has told me that the project is now on hold as the financial backers have jumped ship due to the 'Northern Rockgate'. |
Do not let your mind wander. It is too little to be let out on it's own. |

Yes, the Council doubted whether it would be viable but had to go along with it for form's sake otherwise it would be seen to ducking the West Pier subject yet again.
Northern Rock apart, it is unlikely to get enough people willing to keep going up it, let alone enough to pay for any sort of new Pier. |

Let us think.
What great developments have taken place in B&H the last 30 years.
Marina - originally a flop but gaining ground
Ice rink - NOT
Decent swimming pool - NOT
Football/Athletics Stadium - NOT but maybe
Crap housing in New England Area
New sports centre BUT only with flats at KA - going blue holding breath.
West pier - Allowed to rot and now...........
i360...will it ever get off the ground?
Not in our lifetimes.

| I hope we never get the i360. Waste of money and a five minute wonder for all the inconvenience and mess it would create on the seafront not to mention dominating it. Why does the Council go for these trashy ideas? Would like a decent sports centre though and it doesn't have to be on the seafront but if it was it could be marvelous, not the inadequate design proposed by Arghiros & Co. surrounded by a ghetto of small flats in towers. |

It is more of a 20mins wonder.
Hardly a Ghetto near that tower.
Of course if it goes wrong in a big way, with people in i,
then the structure may be removed.
The private money going into the New Design
project has many backers
who wish to take the concept to other nations.

Because Walmart are Expanding
it brings in Other Companys.
Just like the Station housing
had to have Sainsburys in the Deal.
And a Big Waitrose
for the Lewes Road Housing Project. |

That's a bit extreme!
Anyway, once you listen to the lyrics of the song they are quite good really.
Back to the tower.
It should be built out at sea where the pier used to end.
That is the only way we will get a pier.
The viewing room should then be able to submerge beneath the waves as well as rise into the sky.
It should then be called the Dunking Doughnut  |

I was referring to the Elvis lyrics.
Got to admit I completely missed the Donny Hathaway song in 1971, even though I was listen to a good deal of music. |
