Does city status mean more money for the "real" areas of Brighton, eg. Whitehawk, Moulsecoomb and Queens Park?

With growing crime and disillusionment in these areas, are the young and unemployed people going to be further excluded in order to make way for so-called "investment" from London?

It seems the Place to Be campaign was aimed at promoting and celebrating the people and businesses who have moved here in the last couple of years at the expense of people born and bred in Brighton.

Is money going to be made available to increase the number of proper youth projects aimed at building the skills and opportunities for young people, young mothers and the unemployed?

Or are they going to be ostracised even more, leading to more violence and disillusionment and, ultimately, a less aesthetically pleasing place to be for the web designers, middle managers and general nobodies who see Brighton as nothing more than a suburb of London?
