MAY I suggest that consideration be given to a site for an exhibition and conference centre please.

We have two major boat shows per year and I am sure there would be other opportunities.

Between exhibitions it could possibly be used to provide an indoor ice skating rink.

The city is well served with hotels so could easily cope with conferences.

I would suggest that it could be built on the on the land between West Quay and Herbert Walker Avenue.

Mayflower Park could be retained but made more suitable for outdoor exhibitions.

Possibly it could be built on the site of the pier but that would be expensive.
