There is an alternative to not carrying out roadworks (Letters, July 28). We could allow our transport infrastructure to crumble.
Traffic would be free-flowing along the seafront, right up to the day the 19th Century arches collapse into the ground.
As a responsible local authority we have opted instead for a programme of works to repair Kings Road and other major transport routes in the city.
The major cause of congestion is the amount of traffic, not roadworks. Tackling congestion is far and away the city's biggest transport challenge.
It is this challenge which needs to be faced if we want to make it easier for residents and visitors to get around.
-Coun Simon Battle, transport spokesman Brighton and Hove City Council
