One has only to take a trip outside Brighton's centre to the outlying estates eastwards or northwards to discover it is anything but The Place To Be: Unswept roads, weeds growing in profusion among the cracked paving stones, rubbish everywhere, road names obliterated, abandoned vehicles. Come on Brighton and Hove Council, pull your socks up and make our town really The Place To Be.
