I was deeply disappointed with Chris Baker's story about the Defenders of the Ouse Valley and estuary (DOVE) meeting in Seaford.

The county council has just voted a 25-year, £630 million waste plan for Brighton and East Sussex based on an incinerator in Newhaven. The Argus piece suggests the Lib Dems and the Tories were pledged to fight the proposal. Yet the Tories, with Labour support, voted it through and the Lib Dems opposed it only because they preferred the site at Falmer.

No mention was made of Robin Murray, the main speaker, who gave a detailed account of just how dangerous large waste incinerators are.

I know waste, like energy, isn't a glamorous journalistic subject. But wouldn't you have wanted to have campaigned a bit harder before the accident if you'd been the Chernoble Evening Argus?
