Neighbouring city is streets ahead
Peter Elvidge wrote a
good letter about our
congested city (Letters, May
5). I suggest Brighton takes
a leaf out of Portsmouth's
book with a motorway to
the heart of the city ending
about half a mile from the
shops. There is plenty of
well-lit parking, a big
welcome for drivers, no
stupid, empty bus lanes, no
half-baked cycle lanes, no
pokey car parks and no
restrictions on carrier bags.
Portsmouth's message is:
come and shop in our
city, come and spend
your hard-earned money
with us. Enjoy, the view
from the Spinnaker Tower,
the sea air, a good lunch
while you are shopping, a
super mall and
competitively priced shops.
My wife and I did so at the
weekend and will do so
again. We returned home
with a boot full of shopping
bags. We don't want to shop
in congested, old, run-down,
filthy Brighton any more.
