I learn the latest Green Party policy on travellers in Brighton and Hove is to have at least six more encampments over four years.
If there is a hung council in 2003, they will probably get their way.
It disturbs me to think of large areas of countryside being eaten up with encampments and all their associated problems.
No doubt the sites will attract even more travellers than are planned for, leading to the destruction of rare species and their habitats.
I thought the Green Party loved the Downs. This proposal will be far more destructive to them than a stadium at Falmer could ever be.
