Thank you for publishing the long letter from my neighbour and me on the sad state of our city (Argus, July 7).

The headline was a strong one. I hope it will help prompt members of Brighton and Hove City Council to get a grip on the present, deplorable situation.

Already the orange netting put up so uselessly in St Nicholas churchyard has been removed.
