Welcome to Pleasure Island - a planned £500 million paradise which could turn Brighton and Hove's seaside into an English version of the Caribbean. Hotels, homes, sports and leisure facilities, a casino, a coral reef and a quayside long enough to accommodate
Families plagued by drunken yobs are asking for their street to be closed to the public from dusk until dawn. Residents of St James's Place, Brighton, say they are regularly subjected to abuse and antisocial behaviour from drinkers wandering into the
There is a shortage of affordable family housing in Brighton and Hove. The old Caffyns site, King Alfred site, Portland Road bingo site, and so on must be used to provide good quality homes for local people looking for somewhere to live. We do not need

Mark McCammon today warned Albion are not out of the woods yet after relinquishing their seven-match unbeaten run in the Championship against ten-man Derby. The Seagulls are still nine points and four places clear of the relegation zone ahead of Saturday's
I found Louise Ramsay's attack on the leader of the Conservative Party, Michael Howard, truly disgraceful (The Argus, January 27). She should live in the real world. Mr Howard is echoing the fears of many people on immigration. This small island of ours
David Knibbs knew he had a bargain when he bought a collection of old maps for £20 each, but he was amazed to discover he could get up to £3,000 for them at auction. One of the maps shows Brighton more than 200 years ago. If authentic, the maps date back
A classic car restorer and an ex-Bond-girl are the winners of TV reality show The Block. Tim and Helene Hunt have come away with a total of £45,000 prize money. They were declared the final winners when their self-renovated house was valued at £314,000
I have read with interest about the number of planning applications being made for "tall" buildings in the Brighton and Hove area and welcomed the rethinking of the plans for the King Alfred development. I am now astounded with the planning application

A man arrested in connection with the murder of a mother-of-three who was raped, stabbed and then set on fire has been released without charge. The body of Jennifer Kiely, originally from south London, was found in a seaside shelter in Eastbourne two
I suspect most of my neighbours were, like me, looking forward to a new development on the corners of Kingsway, Roman Road and Brittany Road. While the old white Rover garage was a useful landmark when giving directions, it was a building well past it's
