I agree with Chris and would like to see amusement arcades and fun parks removed from the promenade.
Portobello promenade would be more attractive for visitors and locals alike if it had good toilet facilities and maybe even a decent cafe or visitor centre.
Every time I walk past these arcades your peace and quiet is spoilt by bingo callers or some horrible piped music played onto the prom,and there's always folk hanging about outside dropping litter from their burgers or chips onto the promenade.
Musselburgh promenade doesn't have these tacky facilities and is a good example of what our Porty prom should look like, eg clean,decent seating,nice flower displays etc etc..
I'm sure that businesses on the high street would also benefit from visitors going there if required for refreshments after a stroll on the prom.
