Letter in todays Construction News re: Falmer

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Seagull's stadium will harm the environment.

Sir,

While Brighton & Hove Albion supporters celebrate the approval of their new stadium, the rest of us are in despair at the short-sightedness of the decision.

Even Mr Prescott accepts that it will result in harm to the Sussex Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The villagers of Falmer are not best pleased, either.

Just one more example of Mr Prescott's total lack of interest in the environment. If ever there was a man in the wrong job it is our Deputy Prime Minister.

Obviously an important man as he feels he can speak for everyone other than BHA supporters

What it is, is typical nimbyism!

 

[Cian]

He lives in Cambridgeshire

Look up the definition of "NIMBY"

Its typical brainwashed shite, mind.

 

[aftershavedave]

he's a tit but hardly a flamer tit is he.

he lives in cambridge!

 

[Grendel]

What it is, is typical nimbyism!

Not really, seeing as he lives in Cambridgeshire.

 

[Lokki 7]

All three of you beat me to it

 

[Tooting Gull]

Thats right. If he's in Cambridgeshire, he should mind his own business. If he's in Sussex, he's a NIMBY. We get 'em both ways.

 

[227 BHA]

I bet he's totally oblivious to the proximity of the A27 to the stadium and the village - something the Falmer residents manage to forget every time they try and portray Falmer as a picture-postcard country village

Its hardly in the middle of the downs - its right next to a bloody dual carriagway

 

[Man of Harveys]

To give him his due, he lives in what looks like a pretty happening place (yes, I am bored enough to have typed this into Google):

Prescott said that the site is NOT OPEN DOWNLAND. So what would this East Anglian chicken worrier know about this particular decision?

Um... ah yes. f*** all.

Thats the quoted fact that pisses me off the most.....dual carriageway, railway, university...middle of down land my arse

Is Graham Anderson still the editor, or is he the publisher nowadays? Either way, I'll have a word or two with him for allowing such drivel to be published.

ANDERSON OUT.

They have a beer festival though.

Yes, I'm sad enough to have clicked that link.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Well Im a Brightonian through and through and im disgusted that the village is being knocked down and concreted over for a so called 'football stadium'

He will see more of them as we Sussex fellows are concreting and tarmaccing over the whole downs. He should be grateful!

Well I am also Brightonian through and through and I am disgusted that the village isn't going to be knocked down and concreted over to make way for our car park.

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Send him a copy of that postcard we used to send to MPs - with the dual carriageway and Focus lorry.
