It is a great shame Denise Lunn is getting material through her door that is "anti-Frank Gehry", which she believes to be untrustworthy (Letters, August 20).
If she wants to make an informed judgment about what developers Karis Holdings are proposing to do with the King Alfred site and what stage the proceedings have reached, I can recommend the paperwork prepared for the public by saveHove, which is given out in George Street on Saturday mornings.
This paperwork was derived mainly from documentation prepared by Brighton and Hove City Council officers for the June 6 policy and resources committee meeting. It was at this meeting that the decision was taken by the Labour councillors and one Green councillor to increase the enabling development (wanted to finance the re-developed sports centre) up to 750 flats. The Liberal Democrat representative declined to take part at all.
Other details were supplied by Karis Holdings itself, via The Argus.
This paperwork asks the public to ask questions about infrastructure and to let members of the policy and resources committee know what they want for the sports centre ahead of their meeting on September 12.
Ms Lunn may, after consideration of all the facts, change her view and wish to put up a "No Seafront Towers" poster as many already have done.
People do not realise that key decisions which would allow tower blocks to be built at King Alfred have yet to be taken by the council.
