We just do not understand how councillors can use the Sarah Payne murder as an excuse for why Littlehampton has lost visitors.

The town has gone downhill for the past 12 years.

The greed of the council is why shops are closing to make way for yuppie housing, far out of the reach of local people.

The Beach Hotel was pulled down to make way for flats.

What are they building down River Road? Flats and houses.
