News that beach huts in Brighton and Hove are fetching £4,000 (and £7,000 a little further along the coast) is curious.
Surely the buyers will have to spend some money on maintaining them if they are to survive the next 30 years?
According to Mary Marshall of the Community Housing Task Force, Brighton and Hove's council housing may be "worthless".
Have the new owners of these beach huts taken leave of their senses?
If not, perhaps they could give the Government a lesson in economics.
