OVERDUE perhaps, but a congestion charge for Brighton city centre is a good idea (The Argus, December 12).

The situation is worsening, not only at Christmas, and an emergency vehicle could be delayed with terrible results.

It is no use complaining, motorists have only themselves to blame. Anybody seen a traffic warden lately? They could make a fortune in Saltdean.
