In response to the headline EU Must Be Joking (The Argus, December 13), these so-called "single residents" seem to have a lot of sway with Sussex councils.

Similar "single residents" in Carden Avenue, Preston Park and Withdean complained about the park-and-ride/extra seats at the Withdean Stadium and got it turned down.

This "single resident" of Worthing, Mr John Strange, must also have a lot of power over his local council for the flag to be taken down.

Are these people undercover MPs in disguise?
