With regard to Jason Woodward's article (December 20), on Brighton and Hove being a less-attractive place to run a business because of rising house prices.

He did not mention the soaring business taxes and the new, Gestapo-type parking laws.

How can business people survive when they cannot even unload their goods outside their own premises?

The vast army of wardens, the madness of it all. I must say to Councillor Bodfish and company, you will not be there forever.

Some day, I may be able to put a parking ticket on your head.
