P McMullen has the wrong end of the stick concerning the banger-racing project in Bevendean (Letters, July 11).
The people who live in this residential street put up with noise and nuisance and can't park near their own homes because the car park is overtaken with stock cars. If they complain they face abuse. All this is right outside their front-room windows.
Scrapyards have to work to health and safety regulations. This project has none, to the detriment of residents.
Residents find it hard to support the idea that New Deal for Communities gave funding for this project and find it even harder to support the police endorsement of this project in their street.
No one has fault with the ideals of this project but it is very hard for residents to put up with such crass abuse of their rights as "worthwhile members of society".
-Coun Anne Meadows, c/o King's House, Grand Avenue, Hove
