Redevelopment of Princess Gardens and The Pavilion

I received an email from the local residents association containing the agenda set out below. The pier in front of Princess Gardens is falling down and the only way it can be repaired is if the whole area is redeveloped using mostly private money. Princess Gardens is an open space in a town that is short of open spaces and needs to be preserved. So if you live in Torquay and give a damn then give some though to attending the meeting on Monday 22 Feb.

Do me a favour and campaign for the pontoon to go on the old fish quay, not Princes Pier (ie to help to repair it). There wont be a fast ferry if it goes on Princes Pier
