When will the planning department, together with get-rich-quick architects and builders, stop vandalising Brighton?
The Marina is a concrete eyesore, Madeira Drive - once an attractive seafront walk - is now like a slum area.
The Palace Pier should never have been sold to a private company and the West Pier should have been rebuilt decades ago.
We should not be blackmailed into accepting the ghastly edifices St Mowden wants to erect on our seafront.
Victoria Gardens has lost railings, flower beds and trees and is now a mud slick.
St Peter's parish church is very run-down and badly needs restoration - its grounds are used as a car park and the south steps are a meeting place for motley types to drink and smoke.
The commercial high-rises facing Preston Park are an absolute eyesore in what was once an attractive part of Brighton.
Some people say we must accept modern buildings - Carlton Hill, New England Hill blocks, Phoenix Buildings, Sunblest Bakery, Top Rank, I could go on - none looks very nice or will be standing in 200 years' time.
Brighton is rapidly losing its Regency character and will soon be a Brixton or Crawley-by-sea.
