DITCH THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS!!!

• OUR PRIORITY IS TO ENHANCE WEST ST LEONARDS

• WE DO NOT WANT A PUB ON THE BATHING POOL SITE! 

• WE SUPPORT PLATFORM'S ECO ALTERNATIVE

We object to West Marina Beach Pavilion's (formerly West Marina Lido) plans for a temporary build of 13 converted shipping containers, a vast tower blocking views to Beachey Head for a restaurant/bar/music venue catering for 300 people for the following reasons:

• Converted container = 1100 lbs. of TOXIC hazardous waste >>> land fill sites
  not ecologically sound
• www.archdaily.com pros and cons of cargo containers
• www.container-transportation.com pros and cons container housing
• Poor consultation & disregard to residents/old peoples home/healthy life style
• No infrastructure supporting 300 people/parking
• Chaos/noise and light pollution/alcohol problems/late night revelers/broken glass
• Project is too large=loss of green space =NO HEALTHY AMENITIES
• Will affect children, dog walkers, kite flyers
• Far too near a children's playground
• They will not proceed without alcohol license - that is their Priority
• This will not enhance West St Leonards... they are recycled shipping containers which belong on industrial sites. Temperature control is difficult in both summer and winter
• The plans do not sit well with the character of West St Leonards
• Not financially viable, open only at weekends in winter
