We identify issues and plan the solutions. Our next GIG meet-up is: TOPIC: Diversity in Care Needs - from home care, direct payments and supported living to residential and nursing care WHERE: Friend’s Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AF WHEN: Thursday 3 October, 2pm – 4:30pm As you know, the Get Involved Group carries out engagement work with disabled adults, adults with long-term health conditions, carers, friends and family and other service providers. The engagement project this autumn is to gather as much information as we can about the diverse care needs across the city, focusing on adults under 70 with physical and neurological impairments. The information will be fed into the council’s Needs Assessment, so this is a great opportunity to have your say. We also hope to have a guest speaker – to be announced! We’ll have our usual 30 minutes break in the middle, a good chance to catch up, and share information. Meetings are open to all disabled people in the city, whether or not you've been a part of the Get Involved Group before. Friends, family, carers and PAs are also welcome!

  • Valley Gardens Phase 3 (Old Steine to Brighton Palace Pier)– Brighton Buswatch Response to Consultation November 2018
    Valley Gardens Phase 3 (Old Steine to Brighton Palace Pier)– Brighton Buswatch response to Consultation November 2018 Brighton Area Buswatch has considered the proposals in detail. While we agree with the overall aim to improve the environment, we have serious concerns about the impact on buses and bus users. I am very grateful for the opportunity to air our views at Transport Partnership and Quality Bus Partnership meetings in recent weeks. Unfortunately, Phase 3 Option 1 contains a number of serious flaws which we believe need to be addressed. Bus operators have expressed similar similar views in meetings, so we are a unanimous voice in calling for improvements. It is good to see some changes have been accepted, such as the need for a common stop for Lewes Road bound buses, but many other issues remain unresolved. Buswatch believes Option 3 or a modified version of it would have given the best results for buses, as this option kept northbound buses outside the Royal Pavilion, but Option 1 has now been approved so our comments will refer to that scheme only. We strongly disagree with the comment in the report to the ETS Committee on 27 November that this scheme “will result in smoother flows for bus traffic, removing the current bottleneck to the east of the war memorial and with a more efficient distribution of bus stops”. Our top issue is to put the case for a new southbound bus lane from Edward Street to the St James’s Street junction, continuing south to the southern arm of Old Steine by the Royal Albion Hotel.
