As two of Brighton's homeless people, we believe the recent figure (The Argus, December 3) to be inaccurate - six in Brighton?

On the night of December 4, there were three of us in one seafront shelter and we saw another five or six people spread across the seafront. We know people who say they are sleeping in the park.

The number of people who turn up to the soup runs and are actually sleeping rough totals more than six every single night.
