We have just taken our dogs for a walk around some of Brighton’s streets and we are amazed at how dirty they are.

Has nobody any pride now? It doesn’t take two minutes to sweep up the fronts of houses. Do people not know what a broom is for or how it is used?

Years ago you would always see people out cleaning their house fronts.

They didn’t have a lot but they had pride, and as for the obstacles left outside now it’s surprising there are not more accidents, black boxes being the worst offenders and bikes especially on narrow pavements.

Come on Brighton residents get your act together and let’s have clean streets again.
