AFTER reading numerous letters in the Daily Echo regarding a wow factor for Southampton, I felt very strongly the need to write and say that Southampton has a wow factor already and has had it for many, many years - our ocean-going ships and their heritage.
No more has it been highlighted than last week with the three Cunard Queens and the arrival of the Independence of the Seas. Mayflower Park was teeming with sightseers for both events, so when will Southampton City Council wake up to the potential they have in this wow factor?
Restore the Royal Pier and surrounding area to a space where people can view these ships as they did years ago.
We do not need another casino and all the potential problems that come with gambling.
The ships will generate tourists and their money to the economy of Southampton.
MRS J D McCARTNEY, Southampton.
