I AGREE with Mike Bell's comments in last week's Mercury about the opportunities presented by a Severn Barrage.

I AGREE with Mike Bell's comments in last week's Mercury about the opportunities presented by a Severn Barrage.

I'm particularly keen on the suggestion that a barrage would make the construction of a marina in Weston more likely.

You only have to look at how marinas have improved many coastal towns to see the benefits we could realise.

I hope that is something that Mr Bell will support - it's another reason to back a barrage.
