Bandstand on Prom

I am inclined to agree with POP, (Incidentally, why do we need another
Bandstand?)

If there really has to be another - why couldn't it be constructed in one of the Parks! eg. Daisy,Brighton or Rosefield? or perhaps in the
centre of the proposed development at the Pitz :roll:

Just a thought

Don't have time this evening to respond to the many interesting points made, but for the record 18% of boys and 17% of the girls from the 558 PHS pupils who took part in the survey voted for a skateboard park .

If we assume the respondents to be representative of the 1800? or so in total, then there are around 315 local kids who would appreciate such a facility and who have waited a very long time for it.

Not that this has anything to do with a bandstand. I think the people concerned were just flagging this up as another thing we should be looking at.

I wasn't talking just about the skatepark specifically. So many people that I've come across whilst being involved with teenagers have been so incredibly negative. They don't want anything built anywhere for the specific use of teenagers. They assume it will a) not be used, b) it will be used by too many of them c) it will be vandalised. So is the answer just to do nothing and constantly phone the Police because they're hanging about? I really just don't see the logic in that. We have the opportunity to do something and yet the opposition is overwhelming.

This seems like a dangerous powder keg (I'm not sure if that's the right phrase. I mean explosive topic) to re-ignite. Not sure it's a good idea.

On the 28th of August the Cake Stand will pretty much BE a bandstand.

I think it's a shame, in retrospect, that we didn't continue to pursue this idea. The bandstand would have made an attractive and useful addition to the Promenade. Ideally, it would have incorporated a built-in power supply to allow for amplified music and announcements without the need for a generator.

No reason why it couldn't be resurrected though?

We should get a good idea of how popular the Cake Stand is on the 28th.

Along with a Meadows-style play park.

Great! Something for everyone. Now we just need a friendly architect (or ex-architect even) to produce a drawing or artist's impression of what that might look like. And some rough costings.

Bob, get down to the Public Art House and you can see some... One of the ideas that come out of the consultation so far was for a reusable space that in the summer would be open and could be used as a performance / exhibition space and in the winter would be enclosed.

Deja vu? One of the options on the Paddling Pool site was just that....
