It would be a great shame if Brighton and Hove City Council decided to re-think the whole King Alfred scheme as proposed by Graham Deane (Letters, March 2).

How much thinking are we expected to do?

The site has been earmarked for development for decades and there has been extensive consultation about what a future development should include.

I think it is brilliant we now have the prospect of a fantastic new sports centre designed by one of the world's best architects - and no one can deny Frank Gehry has made the sports centre the focus of the entire scheme.

Surely, residents of Brighton and Hove have been waiting long enough for a new sports complex.

Let's not waste any more time thinking about it.

Let's make it happen.
