Lovely town has to broaden its venues to grow

MY husband, daughter and grandson came to Fleetwood a few weeks ago to see family who live here.
We stayed at the Savoy Hotel and had a very nice time – apart from the fact that there is nothing to do for anyone, children included.

We did have a game of golf. Don’t get rid of that!

Fleetwood is turning into a ghost town. It feels as if it
is in a time warp apart from Freeport.

I was sorry to hear about the pier. In Derby something similar happened to the old theatre when it was half-knocked down.

The council and the courts made the owner renovate it back to its original status. He wanted to build luxury apartments.

We have some luxury apartments in Nottingham – and they have not been sold for two years.

What is needed for the pier is to restore it and put in a bowling alley, pizzeria, a cafe and maybe even a wine bar.

Freeport proves that Fleetwood can move into the 21st Century.

Where I live, a 20-minute walk from Nottingham city centre, the place is full of coffee shops and wine bars and they are very busy. People love to sit outside.

It would be perfect for the pier front, and give people something to do and somewhere else to go in Fleetwood.

Fleetwood needs putting back on the map, it is a very nice town, full of history and fishing heritage.

It needs someone from the town or the local council to promote it, advertise it a bit more widely.

On the front it looks very nice but there should be more going on.

If the council could, why don’t they set up a basketball place for 13-18 year olds.

The council tax payers of Fleetwood ought to shout a bit louder to the council before the place disappears.

It is a beautiful town, so please do something.

My family have lived in Fleetwood for more than 150 years.

I want my grandchildren to have something to remember of their past.
