My abiding image of Brighton and Hove City Council's policy and resources committee meeting about the King Alfred (The Argus, October 6) is one which catches the many paradoxes of the whole thing.
During the "closed session", which is not open to the public, a huddle of councillors from all parties was engaged in fervent horsetrading at the foot of the main staircase - before the public.
It would be interesting to have a legal opinion on a closed session conducted in public.
As for your headline about the King Alfred being given a "green light", the mess of that meeting - epitomised in that huddle - means that it is more a yellow one, of rather a sickly hue.
