Let us know how you feel about your town.

'Let us know how you feel about your town.' Who is the 'us' in this question?
My answer is that I love Lewes but I'm afraid the district council are letting it slip away from us with some of their absurd planning decisions. Maybe being in the national park will stop the slide. Otherwise, I'm afraid parts of Lewes will begin to resemble Croydon in 10 or 15 years.

My opinion is Lewes is a pretty and ancient town steeped in history but is spoilt by the pretentious and snobbish atttitudes of a lot of people who live here.

I lived in Epsom Road, not far from Croydon Parish Church, until I was 10, then my parents were rehoused to New Addington (an estate with a population of nearly 40,000, whcih makes Landport look posh!).
Then when I left home I lived in loads of different places, until I bought my first house, which was just round the corner from the Gloucester pub (sadly, now a Tesco Express).
What about you?

Croydon was like a nice market town before they destroyed it in the 70s. I'd hate to see that happen to Lewes.

Actually, Rozzer, it was f***ed long before the 70s. The town centre was decimated by a hideous underpass and flyover in the early 60s, and the huge monoliths (one of which now houses the Home Office immigration dept) were built alongside it soon after. They had the glorious effect of turning the town centre into a huge wind tunnel, and people have to use vile, urine-reeking subways that are a haven for muggers and other forms of urban lowlife.
Where it has managed to retain attractive historic buildings, such as the old town hall (which will be familiar to viewers of The Bill as Canley court), they have destroyed their environs by allowing ghastly office blocks around them.
Town planning students are often take on a day trip to Croydon to see how not to do it.
