LETTER: Retain facilities

He says that the provision of a new swimming pool and leisure centre is for the whole district.

Surely he is deluding himself in supposing that people from all over Arun will come to Littlehampton to swim?

For many the pool at Felpham will be nearer, there is also the open air pool at Arundel, the pool at South Coast World is open to day visitors and for some the pool at Chichester may even be closer.

He refers to the Arun district as though it were one homogeneous entity but this is not the case.

Each area/village/town has its own particular charm and character.

Littlehampton is primarily a seaside resort and is unique on this part of the coast by virtue of its glorious open seafront, wide promenade and green.

All other nearby resorts are heavily built up.

It makes so much sense to keep this wonderful feeling of space and to retain all leisure facilities together, where everyone can easily find and enjoy them.
