Perhaps now Brighton and Hove is a city we'll have our streets cleaned. Perhaps we won't tip our rubbish over our neighbour's fence.

Perhaps street signs that dropped off years ago will be replaced. Perhaps Waterhall will have an international multi-sport stadium. Perhaps we'll have some public toilets. Perhaps we'll encourage some decent people to the town.

Perhaps some decent recycling facilities. A trial period will be a trial period. East of Brighton Marina will be recognised. Perhaps cyclists will ride on the cycle lanes.

Perhaps or perhaps not.
