AFTER the fire on the Grand Pier Weston needs some new ideas to bring it up to date.

Many Welsh people travel to Weston but only by road.

I lived near Southsea for a long time and it has a similarity to Weston, with the Isle of Wight over the Solent and Weston over the Bristol Channel to Cardiff.

They have a hovercraft service that takes 20 minutes to cross.

All that's needed is a concrete ramp somewhere near the new pier and a small terminal building.

The environmental changes are very small. Noise is minimal but the financial possibilities could be great for everyone, for pleasure and business.
