Letter: We have the right to state our case
Ivor Caplin MP should not have made wild accusations that Falmer Parish Council have "lined up a number of witnesses who had nothing to do with the original inquiry as a disgraceful and outrageous delaying tactic" (The Argus, January 24).
In fact just two villagers are appearing at the football stadium public inquiry to present Falmer's case - hardly a delaying tactic as, at the original inquiry, 12 villagers appeared.
Furthermore, at the new inquiry, most time (two weeks) is allocated to Brighton and Hove Albion which has paid nine consultants to draw up and present their case, no doubt at vast expense.
Falmer Village cannot afford to pay one consultant let alone nine and so is disadvantaged from the start.
