You are taking his stall away for parking violations? He's elderly and struggling but still trying to work. Shame on you!

I was very sad to read about this . Can't the parking issue be resolved and Pat reinstated . We need to see elder people in public positions around the city otherwise a large portion of our populace becomes invisible , unrepresented .
Balance will keep the city healthy.

This man has worked in the market all his life, and now because of a parking violation, the council have decide to take away his licence. They should be praising his work ethic, not taking his job away from him

The Council is out-of-order. Also it shows no respect and empathy for Pat Mears a longstanding trader.

I have not lived in Brighton for 10 years as I am now in Australia but I remember this man from my childhood. He is a stand up member of the Brighton community and the way he is being treated after all the years he has been trading is rediculous

People make mistakes and old-time thinking may be at work, but officialdom is the doom of this city. It used to be a friendly and laid-back place - now just an asset to be exploited for no benefit to the lawful tax-payers, just just the grabby corrupt businesses (also called social enterprise) .

The site owners/managers should find a solution to allow him to park close by.

Shamefull Mr Mears and his family are part of Brighton's history - disgusted at his treatment. He should be allowed to stay and given a dedicated parking space.

I hope this story gets into the local press and on to the radio. This is just wrong. There must be some solution to be found, whoever is in the wrong. A business can't be taken away like this. He's a great guy and I always enjoy buying my veg from him. The market just wouldn't be the same without him. I will do everything I can personally to share this story and stop this from happening.

Loyalty, he and his family have supported the community for decades. Let's have a bit of loyalty for Pat and support him NOW!
