Setting up Brighton and Hove as a City of Sanctuary (The Argus. March 25) I feel is a non- starter.

Over the years this city has taken its fair share of refugees and immigrants but times have changed.

Brighton and Hove now has a housing crisis, the NHS is performing at its worst since the 1970s and schools are overcrowded. So could common sense prevail?
