• Refurbish it

  IN RESPONSE to Gemma Mitchell's excellent article (Hospital Should Be Reopened, August 22), I am writing to support the proposal to refurbish Sully Hospital.

• Reopen site

  YOUR report recently that Sully Hospital 'should be reopened' was fine, but confused one key point in my argument.

I hope that consideration is given to the fact that the southernmost bastion opposite the Yacht Club (where the old slipway was) is an eyesore with those dinghies parked there.

The steps would be more or less hidden so the conservation-schmonservation cosmeticians couldn't complain. read more
