I AM writing to enlist help once again to save South Shore's solarium.

Age Concern has done its best and worked so hard to make it pay.

In the past, each time it was closed down windows were broken and the cafe vandalised. Surely people should have somewhere to sit in the sunshine.

Residents of rest homes, blind homes and hotels in the area will all suffer.

I think Pleasure Beach boss Geoffrey Thompson should be allowed to take control of it because he has the money and know-how to make a success of it.
