I must respond to Joe Harrison (Letters, April 27) who states that Greens and Lib Dems could have stopped the horrendous development at the King Alfred.
I did, in fact, vote against this development. I was very supportive of the original application but have watched over the years as more and more was squeezed onto the site until, in my opinion, it is now overdevelopment.
The Lib Dem councillor on the planning committee voted for it. This allowed the chair's casting vote to approve the application.
