Maybe I can give the correspondent a clear view about the future of the King Alfred Centre.
Unless a way forward is found soon, firstly, the building will fall into an even worse state of disrepair and, secondly, no one will come forward to create a new development on the seafront.
If we are truly committed to sport and leisure on the site, let's go for the ice arena, as Robin Cousins wants, and a swimming centre with an Olympic pool.
Thousands of people will agree with these aims. We should all, including the council, get on with making it happen.
-Ivor Caplin MP, House of Commons, London
