It is not party politics that is damaging Brighton and Hove (Letters, December 21) but the domination of one party for too long.
Lasting improvement will only come about when we pursue policies that will liberate the individual, take decisions which are rooted in the way people lead their lives and create a council which is at peace with the city.
Recent history shows independent councillors are rarely able to achieve a majority on councils.
Only the Conservative Party in Brighton and Hove can turn the city around and I hope people of goodwill will help us in our work, to create what we know our city can be.
-Cllr Brian Oxley, leader of the opposition, Brighton and Hove City Council
