But the love lock in Queen Street, Arundel, near to the bridge, has not impressed one resident.

Joe Riley, of Torton Hill Road, caused a big debate on the Arundel Sussex Facebook page when he posted a picture of the padlock, which reads ‘Chrissie & Matt 14th Feb 2015’.

“It is the road to ruin. It could lead the town to being full of card sharks, fortune tellers and conmen. That is slightly tongue-in-cheek but it draws attention to it.

“This one is the first to appear in Arundel. I am very much against it. It is totally inappropriate in an historic town. I have lived here nearly three years and I am very fond of the town.”

Not everyone agrees with Joe. What do you think?
