It's one of Britain's most popular weekend haunts - but Brighton is being blighted by a crimewave on some of the city's most iconic shopping streets.
Brighton's Regency neighbourhood, so-called as it is at the heart of the Regency city's old quarter, saw 2,436 crimes for every 1,000 residents last year.
This is the worst crime rate for any big city neighbourhood in England outside of London or Birmingham, according to a new analysis of police data.
The neighbourhood comprises the seafront and beach including the famous Brighton Palace Pier, the i360 observation tower and the tiny shopping streets and alleys known as The Lanes.
There are dozens of bars, pubs, fast food and sit-down restaurants, kebabs shops, stores selling candy rock and seaside trinkets and it is a hotspot for revellers at the weekend.
