“Totally agree Mrs and Ms Underwood have closed Pastimes, the Market and put their houses and property up for sale so i find their concern for the future of Hornsea a little shallow”

“Can any of your readers including councillors confirm if the car parks on the sea front at Morrow Avenue and Little Eastgate ( to name 2) are going to be used to build council flats and if there is going to be a council estate built on the South Promenade as appears on the Homes and Communities Agency website where they state bids have already been placed and accepted for the council housing ( afforadable housing) to be built.. If so how will this attract visitors to Hornsea and where will we and they park?”

“Totally agree with everything you say, Tony. Still can't believe they're whinging about the state of the town/seafront when it seems they can't wait to get out of the place!! Even their houses are up for sale! Ridiculous!! Seems like someone is looking for sympathy/attention. Well they won't get any from me. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!”

“Hornsea is going the same way as Withernsea.

There is nothing there to sustain the interest of tourist families (I'm not talking about Mr.Sunday-driver day-tripper), who otherwise might be enticed to book a week or two's holiday and put some real money into the local economy.

There is a culture of booze-bingeing, kebabs and violence, with the young women equally as bad as the young males.

Drugs are the product of this culture as wannabe gangsters move in when law-enforcers and decent people abandon the town.

There is no WILL in Hornsea to alter the status quo, and so declline will continue as the streets in the hours after dark falls belong to the lawless.”

“Pattie, you hit the nail on the Head. What these two women did not mention is that Ragal Amusements is being knocked down and a block of flats built.As for amenities they should go to speck savers and but somes specs so they can see that invisible building called a leisure centre.
As for they Idiot minister visiting if he can see Vision then he should go get a new pair of specs.
It has taken the council 40 years of talking S**T to get a new Floral Hall, and guess what after all the knights in shinning armour sat around the big table, still nothing.
Never mind the sea front what about Downtown Bagdad-Oh sorry S**T Hole Newbegin.”

“Forgot to mention. Soft play at Neptune's Kingdom very good value for money & the staff were great last year giving first aid to my grand daughter who had injured her ankle.”

“They should build something worthwhile ,knock down most of the houses on the sea front which are tatty anyway and build a recycling plant for all the fish &chip trays end ov!!!!!!!!”

“I'd like to make a couple of points about this. Firstly, how can the owners of two arcades ¿ one derelict and closed down, and the other nearly so ¿ claim to be hard-pressed when they're only open for 12 hours a week??!! Even during the half term holidays when there were many young families around, they remained closed for most of the week. I've visited the arcade that's still 'open' and it's like an icebox ¿ and the scowls from the two 'ladies' in the change desk made me feel most unwelcome, there's no wonder people don't want to spend any time there! One of the attractions for people to come to Hornsea was the market. Maybe Miss Underwood would like to explain what happened to that. The best thing that can happen is to demolish these eyesores of buildings that render the seafront area 'embarrassing' and let someone who IS interested in the future of Hornsea ¿ unlike these arcade owners, who can't be THAT interested in the future of the town as both of their arcades appear to be up for sale ¿ develop the sites and improve the area for residents and tourists alike. For those of you who like the grabber cranes and pushers, I suggest you visit the arcade in the Leisure Centre car park, where you're assured a 'warm' and friendly welcome!”

“"The aim of the event was to see what could be done to entice visitors back to the town"

How about bulldozing the dreadful sea front area and the council estate? Maybe ship out the violent natives as well.

I went to school in Hornsea in the early 80s and cannot think of one aspect of the place that would entice me back. Unless of course I become a hopeless heroin addict who enjoys fighting.”

“Many residents of Hornsea were never happy with visitors and some even welcomed the closure of the railway for this very reason.
However, I agree with Dennis. You only have to see the way towns like Whitby have been ruined over the last few years by loud, brash amusements and tat stalls.”
