We need to take a more imaginative view on developing our town. New houses are not the answer. Our roads can’t cope and the rail service is already too busy at peak times. Perhaps the borough should focus on our strengths and help develop small, local seaside businesses. The focus on the airport, business parks etc does not provide the quality of opportunity we need. They tend to be poorly paid and short term.
