Yes you are absolutely right Ian Steedman (Argus September 5). The reason that Brighton has gone downhill in recent years is down to the Green administration.

They don’t seem to care about anything other than trying to get the motorists on to bicycles and the buses are already full most of the time.

They also seem to be filling our streets with so much clutter from painting on the roads to more parking restriction signs, 20 mph signs, bicycle stands, wheelie bin banks, map columns, pay-and- display machines.

I really don’t think there is anything green about all this. It’s an absolute eyesore.

Roll on next May and, with a bit of luck, we might get a council that cares about this city.

Yes I remember the police wearing white helmets in the summer.

People back then used to take their rubbish home if a bin wasn’t handy, unlike today when people think someone else should clear up their mess.
