A RESIDENT wrote in to your letters page speaking of the difficulties they had experienced living in close proximity to students.

N James, of Bernard Road, Brighton, invited me to stay in their house to experience these issues first hand, and in the spirit of reconciliation, I would like to take up the offer.

I’d like to return the offer by inviting them to spend an afternoon with us in the Students’ Union to see some of the good work that students do in local communities in Brighton and Hove.
