With reference to the deplorable incident in which a care worker's car was towed away while she was working (The Argus, October 1), I think, in fact demand - as a rate-payer for 41 years in Brighton - that those responsible should be sacked immediately.

As an RAF pilot in the Second World War, I wasted years of my young life defying this sort of behaviour and now it seems we have Brighton and Hove City Council's own little Gestapo.

They were probably illiterate as well. As the poor lady told us, she had a carer's badge in the car window.

The council doesn't own the town. We do and they are only our employees.

I hope Mrs Thompson complains to the police and claims compensation for her troubles.

If the council can afford to spend £1,200,000 in two years on expenses, it should be able to compensate her handsomely.
