“Cost. Please make it affordable for everyone in the city. Maybe a residents reduction scheme.”
“If it inhibited people who currently kitesurf for free, or membership was required to launch, I would not go”
“High parking prices, having to walk far with my wing foil kit to get to the beach. Struggling to park.”
“Too much focus on cafe or other that takes away from the potential benefits of a sport centre.”
“If it ends up just being a kite surfing centre with a not very good café”
“If it was not well run and looked after. Antisocial behaviour. Overcrowded if popular.”
