So who is right? Is it "The state of the English Cities" report which states (The Argus, March 8) that this city is below the national average in economic growth (41 per cent), despite the proximity to London, or Brighton and Hove City Council which questioned the validity of the report, citing the Brighton Centre, King Alfred, Black Rock and Brighton Station, plus Preston Barracks, Lewes Road, and Falmer Stadium.
This Government-sponsored report on 56 major towns and cities with no axe to grind has obviously seen what most residents see: A city of all-talk, protests and paper plans - but very little progress on the ground.
