I WAS sad to read that Littlehampton Harbour Board was considering abandoning the commercial side of the port’s activities.

I’m sure the famous captains of the 19th century who sailed from our town must be spinning in their graves at this prospect.

Given the turmoil the board has endured this past year with the removal of the harbourmaster, it’s not surprising trade has fallen away, even without the impact of the economic decline.
