I read with interest the awful development of Beach Tavern.
I agree fully the building looks an eyesore, that is even before it is built. It is too big for the bay and totally out of character, Unfortunately we could attend not the meeting on Thurs but the opposition to this development has our whole hearted support.
We have been visiting the Bay for nearly 30 years and finally moved to coast road 3 years ago so feel we are home!!! It would be a travesty if the tavern was to go.
In the past it was a lively venue and fitted well within the community so what went wrong? perhaps complacency or lack of vision.
I am sure there is someone out there that can turn this around, but quick as it is really looking forlorn now. perhaps an Italian / Mediterranean restaurant to complement the Chinese,Indians we already have, definitely not a supermarket as the premier 1066 is amazing and caters for all. I still say it would have been perfect as a new library/community centre.
We wait with baited breath, but the arguments put for the build is very ‘woolly and not thought out,just the vision of a quick buck at the end!
