Thank you for this . I’m glad people are standing up to Hyde. They’d have Shoreham bulldozed and turned into a huge housing estate if they had the chance. Shoreham will be ruined in ten years. It’s already well on the way.

They work quick!

As an aside, Brighton Rd through Lancing has got temp lights by the New Sussex Hotel and it’s VERY slow going and backed up through the village. Excruciating getting past the roundabout by Setyres a few mins ago. Avoid if at all possible.

Haha! I got dreams baby!!

I see what you’re saying. I started spending time in Shoreham where my girlfriend at the time lived, back in 1997. I moved there in 2015. In the 26 years I’ve known the town, I’ve never seen such an accelerated rate of development. It’s quite staggering the sheer speed at which large blocks...

Forgiv Forgive me for not viewing the overdevelopment of areas with over priced luxury apartments as a a good thing. Personally, I think you’re in denial. Is it so wrong to disapprove of a place you love being changed so much? Seems natural to me. As for the view. Of course we are not...

Must be same lot. I’m no hard man but if they threw something at me, they’d be following it down.

Yep. I had occasion to call the police a few weeks ago. I was sitting in St Mary’s, having some time out and peace and quiet when a group of kids, maybe 15 yrs old came in. They shuffled about a bit then as they headed out the doors one yelled back into the church…. “Niggers”!! I was fuming...

I see that. I think Shoreham is getting a little pretentious. Most places do as they become gentrified. I lived in Riverside Rd, opposite the yacht club. The view was butchered when the new block went up . Looks awful now too with rust and muck stained onto the facia of the building and the...

However most of my close friends live in Shoreham and it’s where I go to socialise, shop and see friends. I love visiting but am quite glad to be a mile or so down the road. For now…

I had a discussion with someone who lives opposite the first big block that went up about six years ago. She had head in the sand syndrome. Refused to concede that Shoreham was changing. They had just finished all the new flood defences along the length of the river and she got quite angry...

I love Shoreham. I was very happy living there. That’s why I see what’s happening to it as a real pity.

I was being glib. I’ve been to a few things there. Some of which I quite enjoyed 🙂

Isn’t the rope-tackle always begging for money to prevent its closure? Hardly surprising seeing as it largely seems to host unheard of folk “legends”, that terrible topical news comedy, and afternoon screenings of Murder On The Orient Express 🤣

The new building by the hotel is a low rise nursing home. I reckon we’ll be okay for a while yet. However, Lancing could do with a bit of (limited) updating. I do hope it doesn’t go the way of Shoreham. I moved here to get away from that!

Ah, is the tree saved? It’ll look lovely next to the massive block of flats. I agree that the largely derelict industrial spaces on the riverside are no great loss. And I don’t object to housing being built in its place . However, the blocks going up are all luxury apartments, all massive and...

I Believe the glass was down to being unable to get the correct tension? Having said that, I’ve heard many differing explanations for the weird shattering glass. There was a time when you’d find many Brightonians who had never been to Shoreham. Now they’re all saving up to live here.

Same old story, people move into a place en masse because of it’s lovely, old world charm and transform it into the same shithole they’ve just come from. Asides all the ghastly Benidorm style blocks going up, it’s filling Shoreham full of the yoga mat and labradoodle mob. Hard to find a decent...

It’s shameful what has been allowed to happen to Shoreham. I see they have broken ground on the latest monstrosity on the site of the old civil offices. I guess they’ll be clearing the protestors away soon . I lived in Shoreham for years but am quite glad I’m out of there now. A lovely...

There’s so much prep / services work going on around Shoreham for all the new apartment blocks, expect single lane and temporary lights for the next three years. At least.😞
