In January 2014, Sean fell ill and for six weeks I was the Neighbourhood Care Scheme. Due to funding from the Big Lottery, I was appointed as Administrator and started work on 1 April 2014. A new volunteer Co-ordinator was appointed at the same time. The funding meant that the Scheme began to work in two new areas: Poets Corner and Regency. Up to then the Scheme only worked in five areas of the city and there were a small number of volunteers. Over the years the scheme expanded, the number of volunteers increased and more Volunteer Co -ordinators employed. Each year we said we couldn’t recruit more volunteers but we did.

  • 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.

  • Rottingdean Parish Council (RPC) Feedback on Draft City Plan Part 2
    www.rottingdean-pc.gov.uk Rottingdean Parish Council (RPC) feedback on Draft City Plan Part 2 Parish Councillors for Rottingdean believe there is much to be welcomed in the Brighton & Hove City Plan Part 2 and are pleased to have been acknowledged as significant consultees (see specific comment below on 1.8). Councillors for Rottingdean remain nonetheless deeply worried (Page 5 of Plan introduction) that several aspects of City Plan Part 1 and therefore by implication City Plan Part 2 are predicated upon erroneous traffic counts in Rottingdean High Street and therefore stress the vital importance of early and regular review of City Plan Parts 1 and 2. Specific comments follow: - 1.8 Duty to Co-operate (page 8) It would be constructive if this section acknowledged benefits from genuine consultation & joint co-operation with other authorities within Brighton & Hove, namely Rottingdean Parish Council, where there is experience of loss of opportunities for two- way exchange on the specific needs and aspirations of a semi-rural/village environment. DM1 Housing Quality, Choice and Mix (part e) (page 12) Parish Councillors support the policy for 10+ dwellings, 10% of the affordable residential units and 5% of all residential units to be suitable for occupation by a wheelchair user. This is informed by experience of woefully inadequate current provision which allows families to really struggle to care for a child with physical or learning disabilities through not being able to find a suitable home. RPC highlights also that many reside in properties which will not prove to be ‘homes for life’ because not enough regard has in the past been given to changing needs as populations age and health issues predominate.
