Recently, Brighton and Hove City Council erected a bylaws noticeboard in The Level, Brighton. It was vandalised almost immediately.

The Level is a disgrace. Drains are blocked with leaves that for some reason were not swept up this autumn.

A building by the toilets has guttering so full of weeds and rubbish any time now the guttering will collapse.

It has needed mending for years. There's graffiti, muck and rubbish everywhere and the council goes to the expense of putting up a by-laws noticeboard.

If I spent my housekeeping as it spends the public's money, I'd be in the gutter.
