As a born and bred Brightonian, I am very distressed about the West Pier.

Suppose the land end of the pier, up to the first break, was to be refurbished with new decking, side rails and seats, with a small, simple shelter at the far end and some lights?

This would at least show the public something was being done and encourage people to visit and walk along the pier.
