I am absolutely disgusted to hear Brighton and Hove Council has closed down the market by the West Pier.

I have been a regular customer there for over four years and it makes me so angry. We will now see the return of the noisy, drunken drum players and their type if there is nothing by the pier to stop them.

What would local residents prefer to see? A well-run, interesting market which is an asset to the community, or a bunch of noisy ne'er-do-wells creating a racket at all hours?
