Southampton Waterfront: a Drift with Change

Southampton City Council are on the look out for the best architects and developers for water front that is planned to be built within the next three or four years. The plan is for the derelict pier behind Kutis Royal Thai Pier Restaurant to be demolished and in its place a new pier stretching from Mayflower Park to Town Quay via land raised from the seabed. The project means that the Red Funnel terminal will have to be moved to either Town Quay Marina or berth 101. The large plot is due to have at least two hotels, restaurants, marine-related shops, luxury flats, an eight thousand seater indoor arena and a Las Vegas-style casino.

We spoke to people in the Southampton area to find out what they had to say.
