Aren't the new bus stops an improvement? Cyclists have to veer into the traffic stream and a clever juxtaposition of two stops allows a single large vehicle to block the entire road.

The reduction in road width north of Preston Circus will make a lasting impression on tourists trying to get out of town, and they'll tell their chums.

Many more nasty paving slabs can be replaced with the picturesque black top, so beloved of Brightonians. The person responsible must receive an appropriate reward. I'm sure motorists would be only too pleased to offer suggestions.
