A proposal submitted by Brighton and Hove City Council on September 27 concerns an area known as Memorial Way, adjacent to the War Memorial, being used for street trading.

Apart from the possible mess, this is totally inappropriate for that area and, once again, appears to show a lack of sensitivity on the part of the council.

Will the traders be asked to pack up and go when various services are held there?

Will they be moved to the Royal Pavilion’s gardens?

I hope enough people will protest to the head of regulatory services of the council to stop this disrespectful proposal.
