We are going to respond every time someone says Hove is in danger of being renamed.

The latest person to be misled by malicious campaigners is William Armstrong (January 10).

This is because the council has policy of rebutting all misinformation - whether it be mistakes or deliberate lies.

Hove will never be called West Brighton as long as those of us currently running the council continue to do so. I've never heard anyone suggest or discuss it and nobody in charge has the slightest interest in doing so.

In the event of anyone proposing such nonsense, the council's leadership would campaign against it.

-Coun Betty Walshe, Vallance Ward, Brighton & Hove Council
