Café owner in bid to bring pier up to date
Andrew Stasi, owner of Sunny Café, in Marine Parade, Worthing, believes the pier needs new attractions in order to encourage people to visit the town.
He is leading the campaign, alongside close friend, Trudi Starling, and they have suggested several options that could be explored.

Under council rules, any petition which gains 1,000 signatures must be debated at a meeting of Worthing Borough Council.
The pair believe they will reach this milestone “without a problem”.
Andrew said: “I have been saying it for many a year now.
“There is very little to attract people to come to Worthing.
“You go to Brighton and their pier is always busy. When people come down to Worthing, what are they going to come down for?”
