The vandalism of the concrete pillars at The Level in Brighton makes me furious (The Argus, November 17). What possesses young people to this wanton destruction? It is the same on the seafront where beach huts are destroyed for no apparent reason
With regard to the public inquiry into the proposed incinerator in Newhaven, a public inquiry gives the public and, in this case, Lewes District Council - which is also against the incinerator being built - the chance to cross-examine East Sussex
