Mr D Wright (Letters, April 19) clearly thinks the taxpayers of Brighton and Hove have no right to know how their money is being spent.
Many constituents have said to me they miss City News, which kept them informed about events and developments in the city, refuse collection and recycling, as well as benefits and services offered to older people and those with disabilities.
That's why replacing it is a pledge in Labour's manifesto.
Those who can't access the council's website - which is not the "propaganda sheet" Mr Wright accuses a civic newspaper of being - have been denied the same access to information as those of us online since the Greens and Tories cut City News in last year's budget.
The Argus features some newsworthy stories, but is not there to provide official council information, which the council now has to post out individually.
A council newspaper is one way of consulting residents on major changes or developments - something we know residents want as much of as possible.
Most larger councils of all political persuasions have a newspaper or magazine of some sort, so why shouldn't we?
