I FEEL compelled to write to The Argus after the news that people with disabilities were unable to watch the events at Pride Party In The Park, in particular Kylie Minogue.

To hear the stories of young people with disabilities who had travelled far and the disappointment felt about being unable to see the show was heartbreaking.

I am deeply saddened and ashamed as a Brighton resident that this was their experience.

I feel that the true meaning of Pride Party In The Park has been lost, sadly, by the greed and attitude of the organisation now running this event.

It really isn’t about embracing diversity, it is an opportunity to jump on the bandwagon of an event where people wish to do so, for profit only.

Having attended the event on a previous occasion I found it to be poorly organised and the security staff were rude and aggressive for no obvious reason both on entry and during the event. (I was unable to enter the tent to see Fatboy Slim because of a restriction in numbers although I’d purchased a ticket specifically to see him).

I understand that this Saturday entry to the viewing platform for people with disabilities was on a first come, first served basis (as there was not adequate provision) and find this appalling.

There should be more than adequate provision and consideration should be given to ensure that people with disabilities are given priority.

I sincerely apologise on behalf of the city of Brighton for this lack of care and respect at an event that took place in my home town and shall never ever buy a ticket to Pride again.
