What strikes me is that, apart from the odd times that a fairground ride or two is visiting the pier, there is no place at all for small kids to have some fun.
I do remember seeing pictures of the pier in the early days when there was a round disc-like structure with coloured zones that kids could clamber on and be whizzed round with a rubberised fall zone to prevent injuries.
There is a similar small structure like this in the mini-golf end of the old town right now.
Surely some money could be found to put a few simple playground structures at the entrance to the pier? Something to bring people in and have some fun!!
