Shame about the decision
it’s going tpo ruin falmer
goldstone should never have been wrecked
only sensible alternative site was brighton station car park - but that was highjacked by sainsburys

You know I disagree of course. Falmer cannot be ruined by another building the other side of the Falmer Road. There are buildings there already and the bypass already destroyed the village’s character.
You’re right, Goldstone should not have been sold before a replacement was organised, but the replacement would probably have gone to Falmer anyway.
Thanks for your comment!

The building is only the tip of the problem
the extra cars into the area is the main one and the traffic chaos brought with them
tell you what - let’s organise a steam railway to ferry fans from Lewes and Brighton and close the whole of the village and universites to incoming road traffic (except Falmer residents) including coaches, forcing everyone to come by train, foot or bike
then, even though a bit of downland is lost forever, I’ll stop complaining about it!

I expect there to be a park and ride method anyway… Not sure about steam though, not very green!

park & ride requires tons of space for parking somewhere
railway stations already have that space

Definitely a good idea - just worried about the steam! Burning trees in a steam-train releases particulates which, while they come from renewable sources (probably) which will have the carbon-absorbing trees replaced, are not green. Electric trains would be great though.
