Consultation process
5.1 Comprehensive engagement and consultation
been key to the project since its inception in Autumn 2022. Since
the September 2025 cabinet paper, the most notable activities have
been:
• a public exhibition held from 9 October to 2 November at the
existing Alfred facility, sharing images of the design proposals
for new facility and setting out the story of how the design has
developed.
• a series of ‘meet the design team’ days, also
held on site at King Alfred from 9 October to 11 October, with
around 300 attendees.
• comments and views captured through comment cards and
on-line through an on-line survey hosted on the council’s
YourVoice platform, with around 600 respondents.
• wide press interest generated, with news items in the Argus
following the release of the designs and journalists attending the
‘meet the design team’ days.
• continuing engagement with local community groups and sports
clubs, including the Older People’s Council, West Hove
Seafront Action Group, and others.
