The scaffolding that surrounded one of the most prominent buildings in Brighton's Old Steine has been removed, revealing the redecorated exterior of the Royal Bank of Scotland premises.

How lovely it looks in its pale blue and white new coat, enhancing the beauty of this area of our lovely city. But there is one little flaw that sticks out like a sore thumb.

The eastern side, facing the War Memorial, with its white "Old Steine" sign, looks immaculate but, just around the corner on the south side, the "Castle Square" sign is so dirty one can hardly read it, spoiling the whole appearance.

What a difference it would make if Brighton and Hove City Council could replace this sign with a new one.
