I am not involved in any political party and have probably voted for all sorts of candidates over the many years.

However, I have recently become really fed up with the way our Labour council has allowed travellers to invade our parks and open spaces.

The mess and disruption, not to mention threats against local people walking through Preston Park, have been dreadful.

I was pleased to receive this morning a leaflet from David Gold of the local Tories promising that his party "will take tough action against illegal travellers sites in Brighton".

He has won my vote.
