Having read the piece on Ken Bodfish (The Argus, November 14), I wondered if he and I live on the same planet.

He said: "We have been tremendous on Parking issues."

Yeah, right.

We now have a double-yellow lined city and people are deserting Brighton in droves.

They are afraid to visit because of the parking policy. Parking prices have risen by 150 per cent and I have lost more than 500 customers a month thanks to the hair-brained policy.

A visionary? I think not. The sooner he is gone, the better for our city.
