I agree entirely that if London produces too much rubbish it should "put its own house in order" (The Argus, May 19).
Why indeed should we "sacrifice our green fields to put up with their excesses"? Sometimes it is indeed "okay to say not in my back yard".
I am delighted to see The Argus argue that those who create waste should take responsibility for it. The proximity principle is indeed an important environmental concept.
Can we now look forward to an editorial suggesting Brighton and Hove puts its own house in order and looks after its waste rather than dumping it in a landfill at Beddingham or an incinerator in Newhaven?
After all, why should we sacrifice our area to put up with Brighton and Hove's excesses, as you might put it?
