Having strongly opposed Brighton and Hove City Council's decision to scrap disabled parking bays near the King Alfred Leisure Centre in Hove (Letters, November 28), I now wish to thank the council for quickly reversing this shameful decision.
Already, the bays have been clearly marked, the potholes filled in and the whole surface completely covered with Tarmac to a high standard.
Importantly, this humane issue highlighted yet again the community reliance on The Argus's campaigning and bringing to our notice up-to-date information about contentious public issues affecting our welfare, thus enabling constructive comment and discussion before positive action is taken.
Surely this is real democracy, when councillors put people before party politics. It is to be welcomed.
