A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said Pool Valley coach station is satisfactory (The Argus, February 8). Has he or she ever waited for a coach there? Open to the elements, no toilets, dreadful waiting room and no cafe.

Tourists arriving must think they are in a poor country, seeing Brighton for the first time at Pool Valley. Is it another council ploy to let it run down and get their hands on a prime site?
