Whenever a bandwagon is rolling, you can be sure Lib Dem councillor Paul Elgood will be jumping on the back.

The Lib Dems have now declared war on anybody who wants to kick a football around on Hove Lawns (The Argus, September 12). Okay, there may be some archaic bylaw against it but are casual football players really causing any harm? And isn't there enough room for everyone on the lawns and promenade anyway?

There are many things which give Hove seafront its character and people playing games is one of them.

Surely, there are more important things for local councillors to worry about than people having a kickabout on Hove Lawns?
