For those that don't know, there's a pub at Hamble called the Bugle. It is very old and sites just back from the quay in the high street - it has the potential to be a brilliant pub. But it's not.
At some point in its past, some personage added a long "restaurant complex" which stretches for some way along the quay. It consists of a line of windows which are out of character to say the least and completely spoil what could be a pleasant vista of the old town.
At the moment a property developer wants to tear it down and put up some "prestigious houses" and the Solent Preservation Society are objecting!
I haven't seen pictures of the proposed houses but nothing, repeat nothing, could look worse than the current eyesore. It should have gone before it even went up!
As long as the new houses look good and don't overpower the appearance of the village, then tear it down.
