It comes as no surprise to learn Brighton and Hove City Council is owed so much in rent arrears (The Argus, March 25).
When they are offered rent they refuse to accept it.
In Denton Drive there are 42 council-owned garages, a quarter of which are empty. Applicants willing to pay rent for the use of the empty garages are refused because some are alleged to be damp.
This is a potential loss of some £6,000 per annum which may be seen by some to be an insignificant amount, but surely every little helps to assist the council's financial situation.
