At long last, Brighton and Hove City Council has given the go-ahead for the regeneration of the Brighton station site, but the Brighton Urban Design and Development (Budd) people are predictably still whinging (The Argus, December 12).
Let's face it, they have been waging a war against the global grocer, Sainsbury's - or so they fondly imagine.
In reality, they have been doing all they can to block a much-needed regeneration of this city-centre site.
They are obsessed with opposing Sainsbury's. It's nothing but the immature student politics of an earlier generation.
Ben Messer of Budd is calling for a public inquiry. I certainly hope the Government will not waste time and public money on an inquiry into a proposal to regenerate the area, which will provide homes for 1,000 people, a training centre, jobs, community facilities, improved access to the station and a boost to the whole area.
Come on, Budd people, grow up.
