Not the best computer generation mock up I have ever seen.. Looks like somewhere Noddy would live...

Saltdean LIdo is under construction right now. No thanks to Brighton council who wouldn't pay their share when it was found that an electricity sub station had been removed. The company had to raise another £70K, which wasn't expected.

I would suggest that the council haven't been the villains that they've been made out here. The public relations of the Lido cic do sometimes leave a bit to be desired. Which is a shame really.

I would think almost everybody in saltdean supports the cic and want it to do well. However it's a year behind schedule and a lot of things previously offered at the community centre in the Lido building are now being quietly scaled down. Also all the section 106 money from the grand ocean development has now gone so nothing left to support any other community developments in the area. It's basically all or nothing on the Lido scheme

Commencing 2025, with a vastly scaled down, visually unimpressive contender for a part in a new Channel 4 series called Bland Designs.

With a 20m pool........ and some flats.

An open air pool is going to be a kick in the teeth for Saltdean Lido.

We'd best not re-open Blackrock & Rottingdean open air pools then!

It seems amazing now that one time all 3 could coexist and thrive.

If you build it

Should we be allowing buildings that size ON THE BEACH?

As an aside I do remember by being quite freaked out by a huge fibre-glass peach in the Peter Pans playground after a particularly, er, heavy night in Concorde many many years ago.

Bring back Johnstone's Coaches!

I knew Norman who ran Peter Pans or years. Lovely old boy.

Used to tell how, as a German speaker, he was commissioned in the war to run POW camps. He said the Italians just wanted to sit around all day but he was driven mad by the Germans banging on his door a 6 am for inspection.

Anyway. Carry on.

They were basically given the site on the proviso they fund it themselves. Can't go cap in hand after that.

I'd like a hydrothermal spa circuit - I'm not getting any younger.

As I understand it, they didn't know the substation had been removed, so felt 'cheated' and have had to scale back to find the extra money.
