Letters have appeared in The Argus recently commenting on the lack of flags on Brighton seafront.

I have written two letters to the officer concerned, Sarah Tanburn, at Brighton and Hove City Council in the past two years.

Each time, I received a polite reply. She stated that flags had been ordered and would be flying shortly.

Of course, this being Brighton and Hove City Council, nothing actually happened.
