So council tax is set to rise greatly. I have also just had a large rent increase because of the price of housing in Brighton and Hove.

In addition, I now pay for the privilege of parking a few streets from my flat.

This, together with the city centre crawling with young drinkers every night and the city becoming a diversity-free zone, confuses me as to why this is the place to be.

Remind me - who took Brighton down this route and made it a one-dimensional corporate and consumerists' dream?

Brighton town, RIP.
