YOUR correspondent from the leafy lanes of Burley, (Richard Grant, Tuesday, April 10) is suggesting that the Imax be turned into a “low budget” hotel.

Whilst I agree that such a plan can only enhance the surrounding attraction of the merry-go-round, dodgem cars and hot dog stall, it would complete the dumbing-down of what should be the showpiece of tourism in Bournemouth.

How would you like a low budget hotel in the middle of Burley? Thought not.
