Leave iconic landmark to nature

3:22pm Monday 8th February 2010

In answer to your question of whether the West Pier should be put to rest (The Argus, February 4), I have long believed that the “pier island” should be left as a ruin. Once the current clear-up is finished it will look even more iconic.

Enough is enough – return our train rails to public ownership

3:15pm Monday 8th February 2010

I agree with the article by Adam Trimingham that suggests rail services need to get back on track (The Argus, February 3) and that Lord Adonis should strip First Capital Connect of its franchise. But I don’t think they should be given any more chances – as I’m sure many commuters will agree, enough is enough!

Night terror

3:16pm Monday 8th February 2010

I am astonished there is only one GP on call overnight to cover the quarter of a million residents in Brighton and Hove, and we are all having to rely on this one solitary doctor should we fall ill (The Argus, February 1).

Lordly words

3:17pm Monday 8th February 2010

You know there must be an election in the offing when Lord Bassam of Brighton makes a rare foray back into the local political scene (Argus Letters, February 4).

Too draconian

3:18pm Monday 8th February 2010

What a shame that Labour’s Simon Burgess has chosen to attack Norman Baker MP and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau’s report on the issue of disproportional costs for individuals caught shoplifting (Letters, February 4).

Parking ethics

3:18pm Monday 8th February 2010

I would like to warn people Parking in the council car park for the Open Market in St Francis Street to be very careful not to stay over the allotted times.

Have your say

The inn crowd

3:19pm Monday 8th February 2010

Last year we lost our pub, the King’s Arms in George Street, Brighton. A group of about 14 of us, of mixed age between 50-75 years, used to meet up there every Friday night. We originally met each other in the pub 20 years ago.

Oil investors

4:50pm Friday 5th February 2010

In the article “Steps taken to protest over oil” (The Argus, February 1), you quote an RBS spokesman as saying that, “the firm had not provided finance [for] tar sands projects since 2006 and was committed to working ‘in a sustainable manner’”.

Why we vote

4:51pm Friday 5th February 2010

NB Fowler asks why we need a General Election (Letters, February 3).

One in the eye

4:51pm Friday 5th February 2010

I read with interest about the eye hospital treatment given to Simon Burgess (Letters, January 20). I wonder, Mr Burgess, why you needed to inform readers that you are standing at the next election as a Labour candidate? I suppose you think this will get you more votes.
