I am surprised Brighton and Hove Council is pressing ahead with proposals for a bus lane into the already constricted A23 approach into Brighton.

It is difficult enough now for the eight million visitors to Brighton each year to get in. Adding these artificial anti-car proposals seems extraordinary.

Roger French said (Argus, December 26) he was putting on more buses and blamed motorists for the traffic delays.

The truth is the council's investment in bus lanes, satellite navigation systems and subsidies all contribute to his profitable bus service. Little of this is of benefit to the millions of commuters and visitors each year.

The majority of people accessing the city do not use the bus service. What they want is uncluttered access into Brighton and Hove.
