AFTER 15 years away from Brighton.

I cannot believe how Brighton has become a dirty and shoddy town.

The once beautiful gardens at the Old Steine, Preston Park and the Hove lawns, plus residential footpaths are a disgrace.  How can the council allow the once beautiful town to become so run down and an embarrassment.

I love England, the people, the royal family. I cannot in all honesty recommend Brighton as a tourist resort for fellow Australians.
