Cheers everyone. We have almost hit 2000, thank you for your efforts. 

The target of 2500 is not too far away if we can each get just one more person to sign.

Please give it your best shot.

Here is a delightful photo from 1905 showing lots of soft, dry sand at the esplanade just a couple of years after the first groynes were built. If you compare this scene to previous photos in the illustrated history of St Clair, the difference is astonishing!
