The Falmer parish councillors' article about the football stadium (December 6) is a credit to journalism. It was a joy to read.

The accumulation of painstakingly researched detail made for a piece whose arguments are irrefutable.

Had the anonymous authors of the Local Plan approached their task in such spirit, we would have had something considerably more readable. Falmer is evidently the place to be.
