I refer to the pictures of the long-empty office block in Preston Road, Brighton (The Argus, March 27).
Apparently, it has been empty for 17 years "due to the lack of demand" for office space in the Brighton area.
My photo shows a prime city-centre site at the top of Church Street being developed as an office block.
Surely a plum site such as this should be given over to much-needed one-bedroom flats for essential workers, as recently outlined by the Government.
It seems such a waste to stick another office block there when, given the lack of demand and so many call centres relocating out of the country, there will be even more empty office blocks.
I think a rethink is necessary here.
