I have read three accounts about the new King Alfred.

The main objectors seem to be the Regency Society and the Brighton Society.

The Press must recognise their differences make a good story. It's certainly a ding-dong which will go on ringing for some time.

But where in this entertaining cacophony is even the smallest squeak from the Hove Civic Society?

It doesn't seem to have an opinion on the biggest thing in decades to hit the town it purports to represent.
