I am concerned by the number of front gardens being turned into

concrete car parking spaces.

The suburban environment is for people and wildlife. Losing gardens to concrete obstructs the natural seepage of rain water through the soil, which can cause flooding and reduces subterranean reservoirs.

In my street, it has been wonderful to watch hedgehogs waddling along the pavement and fox cubs playing in front gardens.

But I'm sure we are not the only road where front gardens are becoming parking bays.

I urge local residents not to "pave paradise and put up a parking lot".

In his letter about the incinerator proposed for Newhaven, John Adams states 1,000 tonnes of rubbish will be burnt a day producing 20,000 tonnes of "fly ash" per day. How on earth does it manage that?
