I agree with Melanie Nowocin (Letters, August 8). I moved to Lancashire after 35 years in Hove and, visiting relatives in Hove one year on, little has changed.
Bad parking, dirty streets, piles of ripped black bin sacks everywhere, beggars, drunks and exorbitant property prices.
What really amazes me is Brighton and Hove being granted city status.
I will be glad to get back to Blackpool. That is city status.
