I love Brighton and read The Argus every day. But both these situations are liable to change if something is not done about the City's refuse collection.

Not only is the place brimming with black plastic sacks in various stages of disintegration but your pages contain daily accounts of the futile attempts of Brighton and Hove City Council to get its employees to carry out their duties.

As an outsider living under the rather better organised Lewes District Council (whose refuse collection is beyond reproach), I fail to see why we should have to put up with the countless column inches of blather from council and unions in your paper when we visit to spend our money in the City.

Council taxpayers in the City and the millions of visitors to Brighton deserve better.
