Over the years we have seen the exodus of people from one town to another, from one city to another city as parental choice over the education of their children becomes priority. Many parents reckon that the schools located in the cities give their children the edge necessary to get ahead in life and so the catchment areas of successful primary and secondary schools becomes the desirable area as parents endeavour to secure places for their children.
Housing accommodation therefore becomes a problem. Here we see comparative reports of the Brighton areas and its effect on individual lives.

I suppose it is a natural occurrence that everywhere in the world we will experience this exodus from place to place as everyone wants the best for their children however one wonders why the poor at all times find themselves in an unwelcome position. As life expectancy varies considerably from one part of town to another, we see the level of homeless on the increase as the cost of housing becomes unaffordable. http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/index.cfm?request=c306.
As a result of these conditions we will find that examinations results will be significantly lower than the national average, higher rate of crime will be seen and more individuals will find it difficult to eat a balanced meal which will inevitably lead to obesity, which will no doubt affect the health service.
In my humble opinion I would like to see more schools being built outside the city, as this will limit more people having to give up their homes to move to the city. Also provision should be made for more adequate housing and factories whereby young people who choose to do vocational skills will have the chance to do so.
