  • Rottingdean Surgery Questions and Answers
    Rottingdean Surgery Questions and Answers In October 2017 NHS Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) agreed a temporary reduction in the opening hours at Rottingdean Surgery in Meadow Parade. These are few questions and answers that have been raised by concerned local residents. Why is Rottingdean Practice closing in the afternoons? The CCG have, at Saltdean and Rottingdean Medical Practice’s request, given our agreement to a temporary reduction in hours. The CCG has not agreed to a closure at the Rottingdean Surgery. This decision formed part of an overall support package for the practice, which enabled it to be open to receive 500 new patients in a short period of time, following the closure of the Ridgeway Practice. The CCG will be working closely with the practice over the coming months to ensure that the impact on the practice’s patients is minimised and will be reviewing this temporary measure with the doctors by the end of March 2018. Why did the Ridgeway Practice Close? Earlier this year, the GPs at the Ridgeway Surgery gave the CCG the required six months’ notice that they were retiring from General Practice. They also indicated that they would not be making the premises available to the NHS after their retirement. Accordingly the CCG engaged with local people and the other local practices and undertook the necessary statutory processes to determine the best way to meet the future primary health care needs of the local population. Patients told us that they wanted to be able to choose where they registered. In addition, given the location of the neighbouring practices and their capacity for new patient’s aswell as considering where patients lived it was clear that we could accommodate Ridgeway Surgery patients.

  • FINAL July 2015 I360 Jacking Tower Takes
    PRESS RELEASE - FINAL July 2015 i360 jacking tower takes attraction to new heights Progress at the Brighton i360 is on schedule, with the completion of the specially engineered temporary 60 metre high "jacking tower", which can be seen from far and wide. Said Eleanor Harris, CEO of Brighton i360, “If you have been on the seafront over the past couple of weeks, you can’t have missed the fact that the i360 construction is now well underway." David Marks, architect of the i360, said: “Building the i360 is a formidable engineering operation. The jacking tower is a vertical factory, a vertical production line. Individual steel cans go in at the bottom, and the finished tower comes out of the top, with the steel cans safely bolted together and clad in an eye-catching, diaphanous, aluminium veil.” The first few steel 'cans' were lifted into place conventionally using the giant 100 metre high crawler crane, nick-named T-Rex by the site team, but as the tower reaches higher into the sky, the jacking tower, designed by the i360's main contractor, Hollandia, will be used to lift the tower up, allowing a new can to be skidded in underneath. The new can will be bolted into place, and this process will then be repeated until all 17 cans are adjoined and the i360 tower is complete. Seven of the 17 steel cans are already in place – numbers one, two, three at the bottom, and the top four cans (cans 14, 15, 16 and 17) and the tower is now 64 meters high with the top just peeping out of the top of the jacking tower.

Water and any associated contaminants then pass into a traditional piped system adjacent to Lewes Rd, prior to ultimately discharging to a series of soakaways in Wild Park, Lewes Rd, Moulsecoomb, Brighton, BN1 9JR. The site lies in a Source Protection Zone 1 and 2 (SPZ1 and 2) for drinking water. A recent PhD conducted at the University of Brighton has demonstrated presence of a range of potential contaminants in the balancing pond (heavy metals and hydrocarbons) with zinc and benzo (a) pyrene being of particular concern.

    THE ROUND HILL REPORTER June 2018 The (Shorter) Round Hill Reporter Issue 72 June 2018 Special ‘Recycle Better, Recycle More’ supplement inside Eighteen down and just one to go. Here is the last mature elm on the Upper Lewes Road. It is soon to be felled because it has a bad case of fungal rot which threatens its stability. Therefore the Council believes it must remove the tree rather than face the risk of taking financial responsibility if it falls and damages nearby property. Over the last 30 years 18 tall elms have been felled along this road and just one replacement planted. Given the increasing recognition of the health benefits of living with trees – for removing pollution such as particulates, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide as well as the emotional health benefits (hospital patients recover faster when they have a view of greenery) – perhaps we should be seeking more replacements? In addition trees cool the air in summer, provide nesting sites for birds and habitat for insects which feed those birds. There is even evidence that street trees tend to make traffic flow more slowly – which would be a real benefit on this busy road with just one crossing at the very eastern end.
