I sympathise with the Woodingdean residents who took action to protect their park from travellers.
We were in the same position but due to the inaction of East Sussex County Council the travellers were able to move the kerbstones and gain access to Telscombe Tye.
This cost the town council £1,500 to obtain a court order and bailiffs to serve it.
If East Sussex councillors had taken note of a letter I sent on December 2, the kerbstones would have been firmly fixed and the travellers would not have been able to access the Tye.
