so it was
60s/70s were ok and for a long time before that, its since it became "popular" to live there, when the world and its auntie wanted to be there even at week-ends and they forgot to take their rubbish home with them.
but I will say the 80s was a better time to live there than some of...
only born there and lived all over the city for more years than enough
it was always OK clean and tidy ...........but Brighton is now inhabited by loads of people who have no pride in the city, dumping their rubbish just about anywhere .....and I will say that Eastbourne is going the same way...
if you live at the seaside,you will have to put up with seagulls otherwise you could move away
seagulls are experts at opening black bags as are foxes ................put your black bags in a locked bin
