Clever working in resort (8)
I believe the answer is:
brighton
'resort' is the definition.
(seaside resort)
'clever working' is the wordplay.
'clever' becomes 'bright' (bright can mean clever or gifted).
'working' becomes 'on' (on can mean working or activated).
'bright'+'on'='BRIGHTON'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for brighton that I've seen before include "Sussex city (with Hove)" , "resort town" , "Where the Prince Regent built his Pavilion" , "Resort on the south coast of England" , "East Sussex resort" .)
