I cannot believe our short-sighted Brighton and Hove City Council has been so fantastically stupid to approve plans to build the waste transfer centre at Hollingdean.

Are they so blind they do not realise there are two schools within 30 metres of the site, along with countless homes which will all be subjected to the air pollution and noise, not to mention extreme traffic, in an already congested part of town?

How can they justify such behaviour or sleep at night?
