I wonder if Brighton is becoming medieval in its state of filth.

I refer particularly to the area of the city I live in, The Lanes, but I have also seen pavements on The Drive littered with rubbish bags.

On Sunday, August 10 my daughter and I were astounded to see massive amounts of litter all along Middle Street.

This continued along the seafront - so much so that we could not walk there but only along Kings Road.

I realise it is hot and there has been no rain. But do we have to wait for rain to clean the streets and pavements?

The "crowning glory" was human defecation in the twitten I live in. Do others in Brighton think the way I do?
