WHILE enjoying a pleasant afternoon’s rambling recently, I was horrified to discover the terrible state of Rottingdean village pond.

This once-beautiful traditional lily-covered pool has been transformed into a weedy backwater that has become an unsightly stain on the character of Rottingdean.

Surely the best solution is to concrete the whole thing over and provide some decent parking in the village for once?
