What a brilliantly accurate picture (Martin White, Letters November 11) paints of the decay of Brighton and Hove.

Like Mr White, I was born in Brighton and have been constantly saddened by its decline. What was once a lovely place to live no longer has that special something.

It is hardly surprising that people are leaving to live elsewhere. I must admit to having those thoughts myself but have refrained, hoping that improvements will come about eventually.

Surely there must be some councillors with vision to restore our City?
