In reply to Gee Cayley (Letters, April 26), any talk of forming a Free Hove group would be counterproductive at any time.

Both politically and from a business point of view, the only way forward is to accept Hove is now part of the new city.

Rather than undermining the structure of our environment, we must all work towards ensuring we have a city to be proud of and which should not be divided.
