My previous letter to The Argus earlier in the year (January 27), regarding the disastrous decision of our local council and other professional bodies to give credence to the i360 has finally been vindicated.
Although The Argus, to my knowledge, has never expressed its opinion in the way other national newspapers would through their editorials, the front page headline “We’re the best” (May 9) told all the propaganda-mongers that Brighton is already “the best” and that therefore any excuse to build this eyesore will not enhance our standing.
I said then that people “holiday” here because of what we are. Destroying our ambiance with gimmicks just to satisfy the egos of a few will turn us into one of the also-rans.
Come on The Argus: nail your colours to the mast and start a campaign to stop this folly before it’s too late.
