Roger Fell's suggestion of Braypool for the waste transfer site (Letters, July 28) is a non-starter. Braypool is not destined for future development, it is a planned part of the South Downs National Park.

to the already heavy load on the main road into Brighton.

This city depends on tourism for jobs and prosperity. Greeting visitors with a waste transfer station is the opposite to the welcome our carefully tended and developed garden approach gives at present.

Brighton is desperately short of sports pitches. This is a well-used cricket and football ground. We would be interested in how Mr Fell suggests we relocate the RSPCA's large animal shelter and what we should do with the 3,000 animals we take in and rehome every year.

Without the adjoining field, we would have to close. He must be aware of the massive public outcry recently when it was suggested a park-and-ride car park be built there.

I agree Brighton and Hove City Council have to make a decision which will be unpalatable to a lot of people but they have to come up with a sensible and workable answer.
