I agree with Selma Montford (The Argus, April 4), advertising banners on top of the bus shelters in the Old Steine are ugly.

But the shelters are nothing to be proud of. For years they have been neglected, with rusty broken windows and filthy pavements.

Perhaps Brighton and Hove City Council should spend money collected from illegal flyposting on doing up the shelters?
