Instead of wasting money year after year on work which has now led to the death of a man “Crushed by bulldozer” (The Argus, November 20), why doesn’t the Environment Agency, or whoever is in charge of moving the shingle, put large rocks or concrete blocks such as those at Shoreham harbour?

They may not appear tidy but it has got to be cheaper than losing a life and you don’t have to do it year after year.
