As a Brightonian living in exile, an Albion fan and ex-resident of Peacehaven, I felt compelled to express my opinion on the front page headline "Don't Do It" in Saturday's Argus. Are the residents who come under the auspices of Lewes District Council
It seems Count Arthur Strong, that cantankerous, deluded and bumbling giant of the Doncaster stage, is finally headed for the big time. After plaudits from Ross Noble and Johnny Vegas, endless rave write-ups from the broadsheets and successful shows for
If Lewes District Council is successful in its challenge, it will kill Brighton and Hove Albion for good. We have done everything to the letter and many people have put a lot of hours and hard work into this project. -James Fifield, Worthing
The decision of Lewes District Council to challenge the planning permission for Falmer Stadium should be seen for what it is - a desperate act by a group of councillors who have failed to get their own way. Given that the enquiries into the stadium were

The future of an annual festival hangs in the balance after organisers were told they could no longer use an historic castle to stage it. The Arundel Festival Society has used Arundel Castle to stage Shakespearian performances for 28 years. But the castle
I was wondering if Lewes District Council is going to give its residents a tax rebate next year. It seems to me we must be paying too much, otherwise how can the council afford to spend so much money on objecting to a scheme outside its boundaries? Why
I am disgusted by the biased coverage of stadium issue in your paper. John Prescott has not only gone against his own planning laws but the advice of two of his own inspectors in allowing the building of the stadium at Falmer. His decision to reopen the
The first image of ambitious plans to build a £20 million college have been released. Central Sussex College wants to rebuild its Haywards Heath campus, replacing a number of dilapidated buildings which date back to the Fifties. The new college would
We applaud the courageous decision of Lewes District councillors, who have taken a principled stand against the desecration of the South Downs. We are appalled The Argus chose to "name and shame" them on its front page on Saturday, as if they were criminals
A gunman wearing Michael Caine-style glasses escaped with thousands of pounds in a post office robbery yesterday. The raider wrestled with a delivery man before pointing the gun at him to force him to let go of a money bag filled with foreign currency
I write to applaud Lewes District Council's decision to launch a legal challenge to John Prescott's approval to build a stadium at Falmer. It is totally undemocratic to impose this on the people of Falmer, when the only benefit is to a Brighton football

When I first heard of Lewes District Council objecting to Albion's new stadium at Falmer, I thought of David and Goliath - the little guy at last getting the upper hand after living in the shadow of his bigger and more flamboyant neighbour. But on reflection
And so it continues. Lewes councillor Ann De Vecchi, together with her gang of eight merry men and women, and probably with the blessing of Lewes MP Norman Baker, secretly decide they will try to instigate a judicial review of the decision by John Prescott
Ashley Jackson gave another reminder to the England selectors with a hat-trick as East Grinstead stretched their unbeaten run in the premier division of the National League. Jackson netted three times, including a last-minute equaliser, as Grinstead drew

Seb Carole has been told to score more goals to boost Albion's Championship survival bid. Manager Mark McGhee feels the creative French winger should be finding the net much more frequently. Carole has been a revelation since McGhee snapped him up on
David Goldin, one of Brighton and Hove's most respected estate agents, has come out of retirement to retake charge at Fox & Sons where he worked for 40 years. His departure from the firm in 2001 was put down to professional differences - but, for

I first met Astrid Williamson eleven years ago - in the Groucho Club, of all the inappropriate places. I say inappropriate because despite being the most beautiful girl in the room - in any room - she seemed singularly unsuited to a scene so obsessed
Living in Adur, it is none of my business that a planned waste incinerator has been given the go-ahead in Newhaven (The Argus, November 24), although I do hold views from an environmental perspective. I therefore find it surprising that Lewes District
PE Williams (Letters, November 24) wrote about the speeded-up version of Sussex By The Sea played by the stadium announcer when the Seagulls beat Plymouth Argyle and that maybe it had "so offended the proud tradition of the Royal Sussex Regiment (whose
I congratulate The Argus in its attempt to challenge Lewes District Council's bid to stop a stadium being built at Falmer. To say the meeting could not beheld in public due to the council's barristers being present is absolute rubbish. This should have
Lewes District Council's decision to refuse to hold its cabinet meeting in public, to bar The Argus and for Ann de Vecchi to then refuse to be interviewed on the decision to appeal against the Falmer stadium decision, demonstrates disrespect for public
It was like saying goodbye to an old friend. The final journey of the last slam-door train to run in Sussex was a nostalgic trip for passengers and rail enthusiasts. Tinged with sadness, some had travelled from all over the country to be on the 9.19 am

I heard Norman Baker MP on the radio complaining that it was unfair that while Brighton and Hove residents were given a referendum on a stadium at Falmer, the residents of Falmer and Lewes District were not. Surely Brighton and Hove City Council's only

I write with regard to Lewes District Council's decision to lodge an appeal against a stadium being built at Falmer. Apparently this was agreed at a "public" meeting but this item on the agenda was actually discussed in private (citing the right to take
I am perplexed by the decision of the Lewes District Council's Cabinet to seek a judicial review into the decision of the Deputy Prime Minister to grant planning permission for a new community stadium at Falmer. On what basis has that decision been made
