If we all took the view of Iain Dewar (Letters, February 16), Britain would be a very boring place to live.

It was this view which very nearly led to St Paul's Cathedral not being built, not to mention many of Britain's other great monuments.

Brighton and Hove is a bold and vibrant city and a bit of vision and a bold design is what we need - not to mention a decent leisure centre in time for the next century.
