You do get people in society and think "what the f*** did you see then!?"
I am shocked. South Today covering Newhaven? Southampton Today must be losing its marbles.

Why is there a picture of Edinburgh to illustrate your point?

I think it will be great for a place that is dying on its arse. However, given the infrastructure, how the hell are they going to get to Newhaven along that Coast Road?

If they do not appreciate a waterpark then Brighton should jump in,could fit in well around the Marina area.

That's ok. It would have been nice for our friends in West Sussex to get some Sussex news.

People against this is complete idiots. Why you would be against something that gives locals work is beyond me! If I even lost my job I'd just think "oh it's fine I'll just work at the waterpark till I find a decent job" in my eyes this would be great for Newhaven, I won't explain why because I don't need to

Is Newhaven capable of being spoiled? I went round to the old West Beach a year or so back - it looked like it was waiting to be used as a set for an apocalypse/zombie movie. I am sure that there used to be a little cafe/amusement arcade there, now just a concrete slab marking the foundations.
I know that there has been a lot of controversy about the beach there and lack of access, but TBH I wouldn't really fancy it as a place to visit.

In fairness there is a suburb of Edinburgh called Newhaven, just along from Leith.

Farting for ENGLAND!!!
Rumour has it that the French owners are just biding their time and eventually will build luxury housing there with its own private beach.:-(
I am the first to say that poor old Newhaven needs something to happen. However the awful incinerator building is totally out of scale with the area and a waterpark housed in a building similar to Eden Project domes would equally dominate the Ouse Valley. My other concern would be the road and rail infrastructure. A developer might pay for a link road access or tart up a railway station but anyone who uses the A259/A26/c9 will know that the system is already at breaking point. I doubt if the developer would cough up for a whole new road system say from Beddingham or Brighton. and as for the railways.

On BBC SCR this morning, Newhaven was described as 'you get off the ferry and think the war ended three days ago'. Well that is one way of putting it lol

Beautiful scenery? what, the incinerator? It would be fantastic for the town if it is built but the infrastructure would have to be improved greatly to get the visitors in. It would be better to build it in Waterhall.

If a waterpark would ruin this stunning vista then I'm set against it:
