I FEEL I have to add to the many adverse comments on Brighton.

We have had our son and family with us from Leeds and he was born and brought up in this area, they cannot believe the awful state of the city.

Dirty, poor shopping facilities – it left them wondering why people still come to Brighton.

It’s the complete opposite to what he is now used to.

Leeds is clean, full of flowers and excellent shopping facilities, where is it all going wrong?

If I was 20 years younger I would definitely look to moving North for a much better quality of living.
