Have you heard? CityClean is closing down our street for an hour while it trials a street-cleaning programme.

What a complete waste of time and our valuable budget.

We are lucky to have a relatively clean street in a clean area already.

Come on, Brighton and Hove City Council, if you want to trial a cleaning programme, choose an area where the residents and the city would benefit from a facelift.

Think before you spend.
