The Kingswest site does not belong to Brighton and Hove City Council. So how does your correspondent John Stanaway propose it is built upon by the council (Letters, February 2)?
As for a "subway to Brighton Station", what lunacy is that?
By all means have a debate about the rights and wrongs of the King Alfred development but let's start with reality.
The council is replacing an out-moded swimming pool with a fantastic sports facility, affordable housing and muchneeded flats for purchase.
The site is owned by the council and can therefore be used for these purposes.
Yes, we need a new conference centre. However, it has to be paid for and the council is talking to potential partners at the moment. I look forward to any other suggestions from your correspondent as to how that would be done without the co-operation of the current owners of the Kingswest.
Councillor Ken Bodfish, East Drive, Brighton
