SIR - For anyone thinking of visiting the 'exhibition' of the New Victoria/Odeon alternatives, my advice is don't bother.

All you will see is a slick, enlarged version of the T&A's recent double page spread with, if anything, less information.

I arrived at the Photographic Museum before the exhibition was fully erected but from what I could see and the comments of the staff, there was nothing more - no 3D models and not even approximate dimensions, provisional plans or elevations from which to judge how and where the various units fitted into the footprints of the three alternatives.

The so-called consultation leaflet merely duplicates the same information and gives three small areas (16x3cms) in which to write your comments: a) what do you like about the designs; b) what do you dislike about the designs; c) further comments.

You would think from the tone and paucity of the 'consultation' it was an electric kettle or vacuum cleaner that was on offer, instead of the provision of a new architectural feature in the city centre which could well remain there through many of our lifetimes.

Sadly, it is not a consultation in depth, but a typical PR exercise to sell something which so far has no substance. As the developers will clearly have had to provide much more information to arrive at this stage, why can't we, who are being 'consulted', be shown it?
