The voting for the committee for the Council for Older People at the Brighton Centre on November 6 was a farce.

The ads showed the times as from 10am to 6pm. The doors shut at 1pm, thus denying many potential voters of their right to vote.

Someone owes an explanation and an apology and the vote should be declared invalid.

Looking at the result, I see the committee has a majority of ex-councillors.

I hope they will have the time and will to represent us and be non-political about it.

I wasn't a candidate but I was lucky enough to get my vote in before the doors closed five hours ahead of time.
