Well, I've seen it all now. We all know the Tories will use every trick in the book but this really does take the biscuit. Crawley Hospital is probably the single most important issue to all of us who live in Crawley and has been for some years
I am writing to complain about the appalling article (The Argus, October 26) regarding the fire at Arundel Fire Station. This piece was misleading and was intended to cause embarrassment to the County Fire Officer and the West Sussex Fire and Rescue
Whatever happened to "it's a fair cop guv"? Has this expression now been expunged from our language? And, perhaps more importantly, what happened to the underlying attitude? I believe at one time people who did wrong accepted the consequences

Roger Hudson (Letters, October 31) makes some very good points about the misguided way Norman Baker has opposed the Falmer Stadium. However, at least Mr Baker makes his views, however ridiculous, on the matter public. Here in Mid Sussex our prospective
Just what on Earth is Lewes MP Norman Baker up to (The Argus, October 12)? I understand the words he uses but am absolutely baffled by what he is saying. No matter which way you slice it or dice it - and Norman is doing his best to spin it and
Chris Horlock's insightful letter (October 30), detailing how the i360 tower was actually planned way back in the Sixties, perfectly illustrates how Brighton and Hove is now repeating the outmoded planning and design ethos of 40-odd years ago.
