With a former bowls-playing mayor in office for the past year, some of us dared hope for an improving picture on the bowling scene in Brighton's parks but instead we have the sorry story of the with the demise of the once proud Kemp Town Bowls Club due to vandalism in Queen's Park (The Argus, March 20).
Moreover, having played in Preston Park for the past ten years, three or four times a week from May to September and usually on rink 4, I can honestly say I have never seen this particular green in a worse state at the beginning of the season - it is definitely not fit for purpose.
Whoever decreed the "Please keep off the bowling greens" signs in Preston Park should be removed and not replaced has given carte blanche to footballers and cricketers to use the bowling greens as pitches and to families to use them for barbecue parties.
