Pedestrianised George Street is one of Labour's outstanding successes in Hove.

I cannot comprehend why the Tories continue to criticise the investment made in our town centre's key shopping street and why their only vision of the future revolves around re-introducing traffic.

The environmental improvements are transforming the street as much as the original traffic ban did three years ago. I hope this summer will be the street's liveliest ever.

-Simon Battle, Vallance ward councillor
