In his very imaginative letter of July 16, John Stanaway believes the proposed King Alfred tower block development could easily be adapted as a new "jail for Hove".
Go for it. The designers of the Stalin-esque, high-rise, tenement slab-blocks surrounding the massive squiggly towers obviously had a prison in mind when they hit their computers.
Looking at the plans, they've certainly achieved their aims. Perhaps the same use could be found for the huge marina tenement blocks as well.
If Brighton and Hove is to become a Sixties concrete city revisited (a goal toward which we seem to be hurtling at lethal speed), we might as well solve the prison problem at the same time and kill two birds with one stone (or slab of concrete, as the case may be).
