King Alfred could get its skates on
9:43am Tuesday 3rd April 2012 in News
A disused Hove seafront site could support a new ice rink, according to experts.
Last year Brighton and Hove City Council gave the go-ahead for a professional survey to see if the plans for part of the King Alfred Leisure Centre site in Hove would be safe.
Bosses have previously said this is not a sign they are giving the ice rink proposal the green light.
Jon Orrell, of Hemsley Orrell Partnership, carried out the inspection and said the area is currently supporting about 350mm of earth, which would weigh than the proposed rink.
Brighton-based Simon James, who is behind the plans, said: “The structure is considered safe and the ice rink project is feasible without any major works needing to be carried out.”
Architects are designing the prefabricated, modular building for the group’s proposal.

I haven't played hockey in years because of the lack of rinks in this country, and my skates are gathering rust.
Of course it probably wont happen as people are miserable and wont want to pay for it... or anything for that matter.

It’s great for the city and Hove to have such a facility. I can only wish them good luck for identifying the site as a possibility in the first place and more than that, acting on it.
And Crystal Ball, I can see into your future, you haven’t got one! Can't beleive how miserable some posters are on here.
Not even worth mentioning john5001, whats that about?
