What is it with Lewes District Council and the proposed stadium at Falmer?

They use every opportunity which arises to hinder the creation of this community necessity.

Brighton and Hove Albion has bent over backwards to accommodate all the conditions proposed by those involved.

Is the council seeking fame and publicity like a punch-drunk croaker auditioning for Pop Idol? Is it trying to justify its position by attacking a high profile proposal?

Apparently the new widened Village Way will have a "substantial detrimental visual impact".

Let me say once more for those cloth-eared, rose-tinted bespectacled councillors of Lewes, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) does not have a dual-carriageway and a main line railway running through it. It does not have concrete monolithic structures of academia to the north and east of it and it is not a ploughed field.

As a resident of Lewes district, I object to the money and time the council has devoted to this matter.

And, if it's so important, why haven't we been consulted or had an opportunity to vote on this matter?

I am sure the people of Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Lewes have an opinion.

The council should address its energies to more pressing problems, such as flood defences for the area.
