Yet more money is being wasted on tarting up the "Welcome to Brighton and Hove" sign at the Patcham roundabout (The Argus, November 9).
Ecovert obviously does not realise lettering has to be designed, whatever material or plants it is made of. The easiest way to get rid of this eyesore would be to grow Russian vine all over it.
But the most important issue is the waste of money (£8,000) on this nonsense. If the sign is being funded by Ecovert, either Brighton and Hove City Council is paying too much for its contract or the money could be better spent on a park policeman, improving playgrounds or providing more seats in parks.
No one is going to enjoy their day in Brighton and Hove any more for having seen this sign. In fact, the reverse is true.
