Consultation process
Public engagement has been a key priority of
the project since its inception in Autumn 2022, with four key
phases having taken place so far:
• Phase 1, from September to December 2022: focused on core
users of the King Alfred such as the leaseholders and sports
clubs.
• Phase 2, from January to December 2023: connecting with
wider community groups and residents, including a visioning
workshop with over 50 participants, and an all-day drop-in
event.
• Phase 3, Spring 2024. This phase aligned with the work to
examine possible sites for the new facility. This phase included
all-day drop-in sessions at the King Alfred centre and other venues
an on on-line questionnaire which generated over 3,600
responses.
• Phase 4. From January 2025, this phase aligns with the work
of the design team to develop the design proposals for the new
facility. In addition to direct engagement with key users through
the Reference Group, this phase included presenting to local groups
such as the West Hove Seafront Action Group and the Hangleton &
Knoll Project, as well as a series of focus groups sessions in
April and May and ‘design surgeries’ with grass-roots
sports clubs during July.
