    2016 Have Been Chosen

    It’s Official - Votes are in, these People Make our City a Happier Place Welcome to the second Brighton and Hove Happy List, part of a national network of lists that recognise people who bring smiles and cheer to their community every day. Happy Lists were born out of a need to provide an antidote to those rich lists and celebrity lists which worship at the shrine of the wealthy the bonus-getters and the tax avoiders. This list honours a different set of values and recognises those who work to make their communities better adjusted places, leading to their cities and thus countries becoming better and happier places too. Nominations have been made and the men and women who are Brighton & Hove’s Happiness champions for 2016 have been chosen. Read on to meet them… This list has been created in association with Action for Happiness, Happy City Initiative, The Argus, Sunday Assembly Brighton and Bailey & French. Champions are listed in no particular order. Jeannie Hignell, Fitness Trainer With two nominations - Jeannie is a fitness trainer - but no ordinary fitness trainer! She is inspired by people for whom health and wellbeing is often a huge challenge. She considers the needs of the whole person, supporting and encouraging them towards physical and mental wellbeing. She goes out of her way to help people feel the best they can, no matter what life demands of them. By creating a hugely positive community around her work, her clients support each other, celebrating one another’s achievements and contributing to a wider network of happy, positive people.

    Social enterprise: Turning Ideas Into Action Middlesex University Week 2: Making the Community a part of your team Community Led-Sustainable Transport: the case of the Big Lemon Background In the last few decades, urban areas across the world have become increasingly automobile-dominated and less sustainable. It is clear that sustainable transport is one of the greatest challenges in the pursuit of sustainable development, as it is one of the largest contributors to our individual carbon footprints influencing the global climate. In this regard, we have witnessed the transport sector taking numerous measures to lessen the burden on the environment, reclaiming urban space from the automobile and prohibiting cars from major parts of downtown areas and confining them in other ways. These examples are nowadays considered as leading cities of sustainable urban development because of the work they have done to improve public transport, encouraging non-motorized modes, creating pedestrian zones, limiting the use of private cars, and trying to undo the transformation of cities caused by automobile dominance. Country Context: United Kingdom Motor vehicles generate more air pollution than any other single human activity, yet people will not give up their cars unless the quality of public transport is improved. Statistical data suggest that in 2012, the United Kingdom (UK) total energy consumption from transport was 53 million tons of oil equivalent, or about 36% of the UK total. The total carbon of the sector by 2013 was 117 million tons of CO2, or about a quarter of the UK total. With this in mind, the UK Government has latterly recognised the need to take action to control the rate of traffic growth, improve the environmental performance of vehicles and increase public awareness about the environmental impacts of pollutant emissions from transport.

    Buswatch News – January 2020 Bus Fares

    Brighton Area Buswatch A branch of Bus Users (formerly Bus Users UK) representing local bus users Buswatch News – January 2020 Bus fares special – Changes explained Fares on all bus services within Brighton & Hove changed this month. Most changes mean higher fares but some short distance fares were reduced and a few were unchanged. Stagecoach fares went up first, on 5 January followed by Brighton & Hove and other operators on 14 January. On Stagecoach buses the standard single fare within the Brighton & Hove fare zone is now £2.55. A return costs £4.40, and a day ticket Just 10p more, but travel a few stops beyond Shoreham High Street and the fares from Brighton almost double to £4.90 single or £8.20 return. The best value fare is undoubtedly the £2.50 evening ticket valid after 1900, which is unchanged. Spare a thought for bus users in Worthing who pay £6.20 for a Worthing area day ticket, almost £2 more than Stagecoach charges in Brighton & Hove and £1 more than on Brighton & Hove Buses in the City Saver area. Brighton & Hove Bus Company fares are also adopted by Metrobus and by Compass and The Big Lemon within the city whose services run under contract to Brighton & Hove City Council. The best news is that some short hop fares have been reduced from £2 or £2.20 to £1.90. However, the distance covered by the £1.90 fare varies considerably. From Brighton Marina £1.90 takes you Just one stop to Lidl on a 7 or 23, while it covers two miles east to Rottingdean on a 14B or 47 (and also from Marine Gate on a 12, 12A, 14, 14C or 27), or all around Whitehawk on the 21A.
