Re your lead story (The Argus, March 7) regarding the huge compensation claims on Brighton and Hove City Council.
This should not surprise anyone who has to walk in Brighton nearly every street needs a repair to the pavement or footpath.
I wrote to the council about a problem with a local footpath in March 2003 and the work has still not been carried out each year blaming not enough money in the budget. It would appear they would rather pay out £5 million of our money in compensation.
