SOUTHAMPTON will never have a wow factor. Laser lights will look pretty at night, that's all.

We need something that's going to be there all day everyday.

An ice rink is also not the answer (I'm sick of hearing about it) although one is needed somewhere. An arts centre? No chance.

We need something people can take their families to see and draw people from miles around.

If the laser goes ahead may I suggest they are red and white over Portsmouth?

P BILLOWS, Southampton.
