Brighton council are considering a planning application that would destroy the waves at Brighton marina, one of the best surf spots on the south coast of England. This is a hugely popular surfing location, and can't be replaced. The surfers of the UK object. Register your objection with the council at: http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/ planning application reference BH2008/02816

Brighton wouldn't be Brighton without the surf. Madness to even think about getting rid of it.

Been surfing there for 15 years. You cant just destroy the coastline for more generic apartments. Leave it alone.

This is a massive mistake. The council clearly has no idea how much this spot means to people who live here.
