I write in response to Mick Toner (Letters, November 11). I was born in Brighton and grew up there in the Fifties and Sixties. Like Mr Toner, I also remember the lovely lights in Western Road, where, in my teens, I also worked. I am sure the Brighton
It must have been about 20 years ago I listened to a man with the charisma of Martin Luther King and who also had a dream. Father Alan Sharpe's hopes for homeless people gradually evolved and they were given a roof over their heads and a chance to break
I couldn't let Andrew Martin's criticism of the wildlife section of Queen's Park staff go unchallenged (Letters November 4). He suggested the work was little short of vandalism and that the area should "run itself". This was unfair. An area as small as

I am writing to protest against the display of an effigy of a Pope in the Lewes bonfire procession. In these ecumenical days, when there is such a happy relationship between Roman Catholics and Anglicans, an exhibition like this is a disgrace. And it
