Tut-tut, Dave Cobden (Letters, August 16). Haven't you learned by now that Brighton and Hove City Council does what it wants when it wants, no matter what you or I think.
Delusions of grandeur do that to people and woe betide anyone who has the temerity to criticise them.
It's a mere trifle to the council that thousands of holiday-makers and locals were joyously lifted in spirit by the toe-tapping Ray Gee jazz band playing in East Street. Closing them down meant no more to the council than the closure of the public toilets.
But I tell you what, Dave. If the council could get shot of the druggies, drunks and beggars with the same consummate ease they got rid of poor Roy Gee, Brighton would be the envy of the country.
-Bill Grant, Brighton
