Not being interested in cricket, I suspect I'm one of many residents within a mile or so of the Sussex County Cricket ground who now wish the ground redeveloped.

The enormous volume of the music from the Elton John concert last Sunday ruined my evening.

I have come to dread the summer evening cricket matches with the excessively amplified sound of the crowd and the glare of floodlights in my lounge.

We were assured the commercialisation of cricket would be controlled and sensitive to the neighbourhood but it has not been, so it is now time it was stopped and an alternative location found for the cricket ground - perhaps at Falmer, alongside the new football ground.
