Thousands of local business details in Brighton and Hove are now freely available on the Internet.

The City Council has just published the third edition of the 165-page Business Directory, which contains almost 5,000 entries.

For the first time details can be updated on a web site, where new entries can also be added.

Council leader Ken Bodfish said: "The directory is really popular and is another way of promoting opportunities for businesses to support the local economy."

The directory is available from libraries, Brighton and Hove town halls and council offices.

The online version is available at www.brighton-hove.gov.uk
