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

• "Why can't promotors promote their shows in Brighton, Mr. Haynes? Do you mean that they can't promote their shows without having to pay for their advertising, the same as any other business has to? If you really need to put up posters then there are plenty of LEGAL poster sites - how do you think venues like the Theatre Royal have managed for decades? But of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch and the sites will have to be paid for and costed into the ticket prices - oh dear! I suspect that - like me - the majority of City dwellers wouldn't actually care if the Concorde 2 and similar venues never, ever held another concert if it means that we can prevent the town centre from slowly being turned into a slum. Being old-fashioned, I happen to like seeing post boxes covered in nothing but red paint. I also like to be be able to walk past the Brighton War Memorial without being disgusted by the bits of masking tape adorning it's railings. And if that means losing out on the vast financial benefits that these venues supposedly bring to Brighton & Hove - (could have fooled me!) - then that's a price that I am prepared to pay.
  Well done Brighton and Hove City Council for finally taking this problem seriously - keep up the good work!"
