I HAVE just opened the Mercury and was initially shocked that it was playing a distasteful practical joke. Considering how upset all the residents and visitors to Weston were over the destruction of our wonderful Grand Pier, I am now even more aghast that these proposed designs for the rebuilding are for real! Along with the latest proposal for the Tropicana being accepted, I despair of poor Weston. Any thoughts I may have had of moving back to my lovely home town have gone out the window.Maybe it would be better to rename the town itself and then it wouldn't have to identify with all these monstrous plans and ideas.ANN BAXTER - The Old House, Nailsea
