Brighton and Hove City Council must accept a large proportion of responsibility for the four-car accident which happened on October 13 (The Argus, October 14), as well as for many of the previous ones on Mill Road.

The road surface there is lethal when wet and has not been re-surfaced for at least 18 years - probably longer.

As a temporary measure, it should put up warning signs and impose a 30mph speed limit.
