Chris Rackley makes a valid point people will be unable to afford to get old (Letters, July 31) with their pensions raided by Gordon Brown and income tax and council tax too high. What Chris didn't mention were the many others who siphon off our money
We would like to thank the Celebrating Age steering group for a wonderful July festival for the "not so young", during which there was something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the tea dance in Jubilee Square and the Shall We Dance event at Brunswick

I just wanted to say what a great idea the mobility mat on Brighton seafront is (The Argus, August 4). I was wheeling my double-buggy with my seven-month-old twins and my toddler running alongside along the prom, wishing there was a way we could get on
Sadly, the seafront cycle path has been the subject of many letters to The Argus due to poor design which makes conflict between cyclist and pedestrian inevitable, particularly at this time of year. In Brighton, I ride on King's Road to avoid pedestrians

On the face of it, the Keith Lyon case could be a legal minefield for the police and prosecutors. If the two men arrested (and released) are charged, they would have to be charged as the juveniles they were at the time. You cannot charge them as adults
The arrest of two men in connection with Keith Lyon's murder in 1967 (The Argus, July 30) reminded me how sad I felt at the time. Keith's father, Ken, led a band which often played at the King Alfred. I was a keen ballroom dancer in those days and frequently
Mary Funnell (Letters, August 3) is right to complain about the neglect Moulsecoomb has suffered. I have campaigned for years, not always successfully. I voted against siting a waste depot in Moulsecoomb and I voted against the phone masts on the Fairway
