Someone should really look at holding the ones who made these ludicrous agreements accountable. |

what if council tax payers have to pay for the shortfall in costs for the development,an agreement signed by the developer and the council in 2006.what if they drop the sports centre?

Front page of tomorrows argus (if it doesn't get pulled)should feature some news regarding todays guardian interveiw with frank gehry,more or less admitting that those ugly perimeter blocks were not his idea and how he was forced to design higher.Also about a meeting scheduled for 3 weeks time with ing,karis and the council,,i hope and i will be praying that the plug is about to be pooled,,scuse the pun,and we can get down to refurbishing the original pools that lie beneath the badminton halls and build a much needed school for the area instead of forcing my local school to have prefabs in the playground and bullying the next door school into losing its tennis courts and field to add on more classes to an already overcapacity enviroment.
And saving the area from a development that is so detrimental to human life it beggars belief that is still being thought about. |

Will Brighton and Hove Council provide free swimming by 2012, as the Government has today announced?
This will make for an interesting factor in the KA costs. |

This article shows that Gehry's design in New York brings bays in the apartments.
So, why in Hove, are his curves merely bolted-on struts? And why didn't he design all of it?

No development this year. From KA website.
How long before planning permission falls when nothing happens? |

It is cheaper and you can go when you want.
I prefer to run and walk etc outside.
Down side is that it is cold and wet at times.
You can get chased by dogs and seagulls, tread in all sorts of wonderful things, get abuse from teenagers when running through town and look a pratt when exercising in the park.
So maybe a gym is better?????????????????? |

Here is a report which shows how much better, quicker and cheaper it is to exercise in the open air than at gyms. More people realise this.

Yes, this phrase "working in partnership" covers an enormous about of dodgy dealings. So does "preferred bidder". |

My suspicion is that it goes right to the top. Look at the person whose duties included steering the King Alfred project before his current job ! |

I wonder who is in charge at planning now. They got rid of those who would ask questions at the KA decision fiasco. Someone must know who's getting these backhanders if this is true. Does it go right to the top? |

Given the well publicised underhand tactics employed by Karis with the King Alfred, it really beggars belief that any further applications by them are even considered by Brighton & Hove. In fact, it is outrageous that Brighton & Hove tax payers money is spent on processing this companies applications when, evetually, they will pocket considerable profits.
Its nice to see that good old fashioned back-handers must be alive and well! |
