It was exclusively reported on the front page of The Argus that it will cost £650 million to repair Brighton and Hove's council houses after years of neglect.

How on Earth was such a situation allowed to happen?

The management/councillors responsible should be immediately sacked and replaced by competent people. Repairs should be done as a matter of urgency before things get worse.

Our council-house tenants deserve better. It's this sort of thing that helps give council estates a bad name.
