The Deputy Prime Minister has called in the planning application for cliff repairs at Black Rock, Brighton, after the rockfalls (The Argus, June 17).
That decision will cost at least £25,000 for the public inquiry and mean the continual closure of the undercliff walk.
Yet the Minister refused to call in the West Pier application, which is arguably more important than ways of landscaping the side of a dirty, old cliff.
-Councillor Roy Pennington, Brighton and Hove City Council
