King alfred Towers

[Drumstick]

Well Yes NO??

I'm a yes will be great and they should have built that HUGE one down the marina.

 

[surrey jim]

im for them they will give the city another landmark, provide more housing, and benifit economy

 

[Grendel]

Don't care.

 

[Scarface]

Has anyone got one of those artists impressions pictures of the proposed tower? The ones for the marina tower looked pretty damn good.

 

[Scotty Mac]

can see it as only being a good thing

 

[aftershavedave]

great idea, lovely design.

totally inadequate parking: 1200 odd flats and 700 spaces

 

[Publius Ovidius]

fill em full of assylum seekers...they dont have cars.

 

[Gully]

dtg, don't know about asylum seekers, they will probably be snapped up by the type of Russian businessman who is allegedly on the verge of buying the Albion...

In all seriousness I think the towers will be a stunning addition to Brighton, about time the tired old tart by the sea received a face lift.

The ones down the marina where great looking and the tallest in sussex would have been a great land mark just like the king alfred will be.

One of the NIMBY's was saying it'd be "like a little Hong Kong".
Well if thats the case then DO IT. Hong Kong is feckin' AMAZING

 

[Citrus]

Yes. Will give Hove a much needed landmark.

 

[Brovion]

Before the Falmer campaign I would have said "No, they're hideous, ugly and totally out of keeping with Hove."

Now of course I say make 'em twice as big and be quick about it.

well put Brovian.

 

[Drumstick]

Theres a petition going around Brighton at the mo around the lanes I last saw it.

 

[Jello]

Anthing's better than the present King Alfred site, go for it I say

 

[dougdeep]

If I bought a flat in a tower block by the sea, I would want a balcony and an uninterrupted sea view. I can't see these places providing that.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Looks on paper like A GOOD THING.

On the STRICT condition that it pisses off Selma Montford of the Keep Hove Ancient Society

(and maybe also those inept currants in bad anoraks of the West Pier *cough* Trust)

 

[Strike]

Yes The city needs it plus a much more modern leisure centre, can't believe that even Crawleys got a better leisure centre than Brighton and Hove.

 

[London Irish]

There is now a NIMBY alliance controlling Brighton Council - a Green/Tory/Liberal Democrat gang of opportunists who are just opposing EVERYTHING - our extra seats, the Marina development, the extra park and ride at Patcham that would have given us an extra £20m in government transport funds for the city, and finally this Gehry design for King Alfred.

Thank f*** we got the Albion home from Pissfield before this gang of lazy, reactionary twats got power
