Lewes Bridge View is a football club which runs many teams, with players aged from eight to 18. It has produced professional footballers such as John Robinson (Brighton, Charlton and Wales) and Paul Ifill (Millwall).

The club was recently informed there was no money available to level the pitches at the Malling Fields where they play.

If Lewes District Council can afford a legal battle potentially costing hundreds of thousands of pounds objecting to schemes on the periphery of Lewes district, why can't it afford to carry out this comparatively small and inexpensive task?
