so Christina Lee's traveller friends in the green Bedford bus at Court Farm (Opinion, April 19) are one good apple in many barrels.

There might be a few more but the vast majority are not.

No doubting her friends' authenticity but why do they not pay to park in a proper caravan site and not illegally?

Brighton and Hove has provided, at taxpayers' expense, a legal site at Horsdean.

When this site is full, all other travellers should be moved outside the city's boundaries.

How do you explain the filth and damage left behind by travellers, which again is put right at local taxpayers' expense?

Ask the council how much it cost to clean up Stanmer Park after the last lot left.

How would you like your children to play in a sandpit used as a toilet by travellers, as in the Crowhurst Road area last year? I could go on.

Ms Lee, your friends in the bus might well be kind and considerate but the majority of citizens in Brighton and Hove have had enough of the other lawbreaking, unhygienic vandals.
