TODAY we publish images of how Pier Approach should look once work, which is now under way, is completed.

As part of a 20-year plan, it is costing a huge £4 million in public cash, with the hope that more will come via private routes.

On the face of it, the revamp should be a good thing. The images we publish today certainly look like it will give the area a lift.

Coupled with the demolition of the old Imax building, let’s hope that it brings a brighter future for the seafront.
