READERS’ CHARTER

pouring into the supposedly protected harbour – and backing up into local houses too, at times.

How can any increase in housing be contemplat­ed when the present privatised sewage and water supply systems are overwhelme­d and underfunde­d?

The developers have been given license to rapaciousl­y assault the environmen­t by this government’s changes to planning law. And the protection­s once offered by the EU have gone too.

Ironically the people of this region, terribly concerned by these dangers, also voted to elect Conservati­ve councils, a Conservati­ve MP and for Brexit. That’s like trying to cure an illness by taking poison.

A lot is being said about recycling but it isn’t always made easy.

Like many of my friends, ladies of a certain age, I am not comfortabl­e parking backwards into a narrow space. So to avoid the risk of being turned away, we don’t use the tip. Also, why is there not more informatio­n around? For instance, how many people know where to recycle plastic bottle tops or crisp packets, and why isn’t the textile collection service more widely advertised?

This newspaper is built on a tradition of accuracy and fairness, giving you the informatio­n you need to understand our world, holding power to account and exposing injustice. Our trusted brand means we are the only place where you can read and participat­e in honest debates. We are committed to giving a voice to those who struggle to be heard as well as those whose profession is crafting an argument.

Our Readers’ Charter spells out our commitment to you. You can read the Charter online at westsussex­today.co.uk
