I FULLY agree with the comments of Carol Mould (Letters, April 29) regarding the proposed development at Sandbanks by Eddie Mitchell.

Sandbanks is and has always been one of the best beaches in the South and we must keep it that way.

It is a place for families to go and relax and have fun.

To have a sports arena there will completely change the feel of the place, not to mention the increase in traffic, which is bad enough in summer as it is.

Having an annual beach parking permit, I use the beach on a regular basis and want it kept as it is with maybe a bit of refurbishment, but nothing to change the overall appearance.

I have used this beach since I was a child and feel we are so lucky to have such a great place on our doorstep.

It’s certainly not ‘unloved or dangerous’ as he puts it.

It just needs a bit of care but in the right way to make it perfect.

Let’s hope Poole council listens to the people of Poole and rejects any proposal made by Mr Mitchell.
