Do we want a decent sports centre with a swimming pool or pools, halls which can be rented by small groups offering different sports and attracting sports of every kind from football, tai chi, yoga, aerobics, aikido and so on and a good-size ballroom for dancing and functions which is currently used by hundreds a week?

Or do we want an excuse of a sports centre with no ballroom and offering nowhere near the facilities it has now?

I think Brighton and Hove City Council has the opportunity to build a sports centre the whole country would love to come to but it seems the sports centre has become the secondary consideration, when it should be the first.

We may need housing but we also need the sports and leisure facilities for the people living in the whole city.
