I have followed the correspondence in The Argus about the Brighton and Hove City Council/ Albion saga.

Ken Bodfish has confirmed the council has given, or will give, financial assistance to the Albion to the tune of some £1.25m.

Since when have local taxpayers been required to give financial support to private business?

Could Councillor Bodfish now state precisely the legislation under which he and his colleagues are acting?

I think such action is unlawful.
