The loss to Kemp Town of Stuart Harrison from the police force is great. His initiatives were no-nonsense and effective.

I have a business and also live here. I'm passionate about the area and concerned to ensure that I, my staff and customers can enjoy the area in safety.

Whoever replaces Mr Harrison will, I hope, invest the same amount of enthusiasm for cleaning up the area as he did.
