I invited some athletic friends down from the North for a weekend recently, which included a group evening jog along the Hove-Brighton promenade.

All my guests commented unfavourably on the street lighting, or rather lack of it, along the route. There were dozens of lights which needed bulbs replacing.

As local elections approach, I'm sure Brighton and Hove City Council will make an effort to present themselves in, if you will excuse the pun, a more favourable light.
