East Cliff Pavilion Promenade Shelter: To the Editor: … Dear Sir, – In opening the Herne Bay Press this morning, I was pleased to see in one of your leaders remarks about East Cliff Pavilion, and I think your suggestion of having removable windows is a good one, and it should be taken up by the Council at once. I have been down several weekends myself lately and find the Northeast winds to be very searching and trying. I do not consider there is sufficient shelter on the East Cliff. I noticed with regret on the Saturday before Whit-Monday that the 7th Dragoon Guards Band was playing in the Pavilion to about two dozen people. If there had been some proper shelter outside, hundreds would have been glad to listen to the good music of the Band. I cannot for the life of me understand why the Bandstand is so neglected, even in the season. There is a one and a-half hour’s performance in the morning. With such a good bandstand and lovely position something ought to be going on all day. I feel confident that if the Council only made it more attractive, and provided the promenade with some shelter, it would be the means of greater revenue to them and to the Band Committee, and a boon to the visitors and inhabitants of Herne Bay. — Yours JAMES W.
