Doesn't matter where we move to, there is always going to be some folk unhappy. Staying in the beach area would have met some sort of resistance too. As a golfer, I certainly wouldn't have been happy if the Kings Links was to be removed, although as someone said it was perhaps the driving range and cricket pitch that were in doubt. And everybody knows cricket is not a sport!
Anyway, I am prepared to see exactly what the plans are including transport "lonks". Slating it before any real plans are in place is a bit foolish IMHO.
