With regard to Brighton and Hove's bid to become European Capital of Culture, it was only the other day I read that Brighton and Hove City Council had scrapped the annual £34,000 grant to the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra, yet £150,000 is to be spent on Capital of Culture promotions.
Surely some of the money could have been used to support what must be an important, artistic benefit to the town?
