The Lewes Road ran into land owned by the Earl of Chichester, hence the Toll Gate at Preston Barracks was erected (The Argus, September 14).

Brighton and Hove City Council is talking about introducing a toll to get into the city - so nothing has altered in 135 years.

It certainly should not apply to disabled drivers or pensioners. We must not give in to this as taxpayers.
