Please can you alert your readers to the fact that a retrospective planning application has been submitted for the chalk and rubble bunding placed on Telscombe Tye to remain and for it to be extended.

The bunding on Telscombe Tye was put in without the required planning permission.

We have fought long and hard to ensure that the planning laws are enforced so the public is not deprived of the right to object.

If readers feel it is ugly, that it damages the environment it is designed to protect, that it spoils the view in this area of outstanding natural beauty, that the use of chalk and rubble is unsuitable, that it breaks up the common and changes the contour of the landscape, that it stops people wandering at will over the Tye, as they have done since time immemorial - then now is their chance to say so.

Anyone wishing to comment on the bunding can do so by writing before May 27th to:

East Sussex County Council, County Hall, St Anne's Crescent, Lewes, East Sussex BN7 1UE, quoting the numbers of the application: LW/05/0880 and LW/435/CM Telscombe Tye.

We all complain when they do things we do not like. This is the chance to let them know what we think and object if we want the common restored to its former beauty.

If everyone leaves it to someone else to object then no one will do it and the bunding will stay. Every objection counts.

Canadian hospital memories

I wonder if anyone can help me.

My great uncle was in the Canadian hospital, Brighton, after being seriously wounded in France in the First World War. He was there for about three months before being sent to Liverpool before he returned to Canada.

I would like to know something about the hospital and purchase any photographs or records.

I hope someone can help.
