Never mind John Parry's suggestion for a future mayor for Brighton and Hove.

My nomination will have to be Roger French, the much-maligned boss of Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company.

Mr French and his company are constantly the subject of criticism in the Opinion page, with Mr French more often than not answering his critics.

Who else in this city of ours (apart from Ivor Caplin) is seen almost daily in the pages of the Argus?

Roger French obviously has the man-management ability to run a council.

He is a constant worker for and supporter of various charities in Sussex and the bid for city status, is on the steering committee of the Walk Of Fame and a trustee of the Argus Appeal.

Roger French, you have my vote and thanks for all the work you do for the area. Get campaigning now.

-Mike Mendoza, Kingsway Court, Hove
