The comment by county councillor John Livings - "We don't want a sewage works anywhere in East Sussex - is beyond belief (The Argus, January 8).

Does he not use the toilet himself? Where does he think it goes? It is Brighton and Hove's mess so we must take care of it.

Portobello would be out of view and the technology is readily available to remove odours.
