Yes agreed....Brighton just never really gets any investment and will always rely on tourists and rich Londoners.
Guess having the greens really did deprive the city of moving with the times as bike and bus lanes were more important than creating jobs and attracting investment.
I'm shocked the I360 got built as hardly anything gets the go ahead in Brighton
Evidence?
Try this...
The significant progress made by Brighton & Hove in encouraging noncar
journeys to work goes hand in hand with the economic growth being
experienced within the City. Jobs grew by nearly 27% between 1997 and
2014 and GVA per capita is 47% above the study region average at
£43,900. Increasing sustainable transport choices will create greater
capacity within the transport network across Greater Brighton and
Coastal West Sussex to accommodate planned growth.
