Many shocked by the killing of eight-year-old Sarah Payne will say the person responsible should be executed or locked up for life. They are also worried there are 160 sex offenders registered with Sussex Police. Now the News of the World has decided
Please stop it before it's finished. I am talking about the crass erection taking place at the south eastern side of the Patcham A23/A27 interchange. First we thought it was going to be some sort of temporary sign which would have been bearable, but day

How can Pam Ansell claim Brighton and Hove Council thinks brass bands present the wrong image (Opinion, July 19)? The council has never said such a thing. We certainly don't believe it. For the record, the council continues to be very supportive of brass

More than £2 million of NHS cash is being spent caring for people with mental health problems in Brighton and Hove in private beds. Health managers send 20 people each day into private ac-commodation because of the drastic shortage of public hospital
