C. Jordan has come up with an excellent suggestion regarding the Royal Pier ((Letters, May 11).

By combining a life-size model of a Spitfire on the end with viewing areas, ballroom, concert hall, sports venue, etc. I am sure that many residents and people on holiday would use it.

At the moment it is an eyesore and a blot on the landscape.

I wouldn't be surprised if one day (or night) it is totally demolished in order to stop caring people complaining.
