Once again, Brighton and Hove City Council is trying to finish the few good entertainers for the tourist trade but we can still apparently have the noise created by beggars in East Street pestering people.

I am staying with friends for a week and every year enjoy, like many others, the jazz band in East Street. The many friends I have in Brighton regularly go to listen and spend money in cafes nearby.

Let's get rid of these idiots on the council who have not got a clue what is good for Brighton.

The people who listen to this group and enjoy hearing their music will be getting a petition for them to stay.
