May I make a suggestion to solve our problems of uncollected rubbish and congested streets in one fell swoop?

Sack all the planners and consultants who have made such a mess of Brighton and Hove's road layout and transport system and re-employ them at one-tenth of their salary to pick up bin bags from residential and commercial premises.

The exercise would clarify their minds, save us a good deal of council tax and provide free entertainment for long-suffering residents.
