In the article about the launch of the car club (The Argus, August 20), Sam Thomson described Hanover as Brighton's muesli belt.

Despite being one of the muesli munchers of Hanover, I take issue with this. It's more of a mountain.

Seriously though, as chairwoman of the Hanover Community Association, I am fed up of having to counter the myth that Hanover is a middle-class, muesli-eating area.

It is richly varied. Commuters live cheek-by-jowl with born and bred Brightonians, students with teachers and artists with accountants.

There is much rented accommodation among the bijou homes on the hill and council housing mingles with new loft developments.

We have friendly shops and businesses, fantastic local pubs and a busy community centre. We also have our own local festival, Hanover Day, which was a great success again this year.

Hanover, like any area, also has its problems. The car club is aimed partly at those who don't have regular access to private transport because they can't afford to run a car but it also aims to address parking and traffic problems.

The Hanover Community Association (HCA), which set up the car club with Smart Moves and Brighton and Hove City Council, is looking for new trustees to help make Hanover an even better place to live and work and run the community centre.

Anyone living in Hanover is invited to the annual meeting on September 25 and can contact me to find out more.

Leave a message at the Community Centre (33 Southover Street, 01273 694873) or come and have a chat at the car club launch.

You don't have to eat muesli to join the committee - you just have to live here.
