How sensible is Councillor Gill Mitchell in gathering councillors of all persuasions to fight any suggestion that the solution for Southern Water's Brighton and Hove waste water plan should actually involve Brighton and Hove.

How dare anyone suggest Brighton and Hove should face the responsibility of being part of the solution in the plan?

Perhaps Coun Mitchell should encourage the plan to be abandoned and all her constituents pay, through their council tax, a premium to cover the fines Southern Water will attract when Brighton and Hove has unclean water off its beaches.

Come on, Coun Mitchell, face up to being a responsible city councillor.

After all, it is described as the Brighton and Hove waste water plan. Let us not dump the sewage plants anywhere but where the sewage is produced - by the people of Brighton and Hove.
