Brighton's Concorde 2 faces huge flyposting fines (From The Argus)

• "How can the council get away with this?
  The Concorde2 is just one of the many music venues in Brighton that make Brighton what it is, the UK's best city’s for live music.
  We've just had the Great Escape and we're in the Brighton Fringe festival right now. I’ve noticed that there is some space giving to advertise shows
  on some boards near the Pavilion Gardens, what a great idea… why don’t the Council provide free space for promoters to use like they do in France or Spain? These could also be recycling points as well as a space for promoters to sue for posters. Instead as usual it’s all about making money and at £1000 per poster that’s easy money, that about the cost of one of there tea & baskets meetings!!! Now we hear the Council is part funding that stupid eye360… what next £20 to park!?
  Instead of making money from people who are helping make Brighton what it is, why don’t you give us break and provide promoters a place to advertise? And let’s not forget the Lady Boys & Circus that come to town and blitz the city with there posters, how come they don’t get fined? They turn up once a year rent a bit of ground from the Council and get away with it but the clubs & music venues that are here all year round get fined for poster advising! Take a look at the high streets, shop after shop is closing make some part of the city look rundown. I for one would rather see colourful posters with fun things to do than ‘to let’ and ‘closing down’ signs. By the way that ‘art skip’ in Bartholomew square cost £95000."
