    PIPELINE Max Cochrane AD676 CRISIS Brighton sits along the southern coast of the UK, sea levels have been rising by 4mm each year, this is expected to increase over the next 20 to 50 years. Given Brighton is right on the coast, it is at higher risk of being overwhelmed. Climate central predicts huge sections of Sussex will be hit by annual coastal floodswithin 30 years, and by 2050 large portions will fall below sea level. 2030 a meteor strikes a glacier increasing the sea level rise by 40 feet submerging much of Brighton’s seafront. This unexpected rise causes numerous businesses to be affected as well as cause problems for Brighton as a tourist hotspot. In need to respond to the crisis and solve the tourism issue, Brighton council investigates potential solutions to turn the negative into a positive.

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. Figure 1: Location of proposed projects - Woollards Way, Brighton, BN1 9BP (TQ 34107 08324), and Wild Park, Lewes Rd, Moulsecoomb, Brighton, BN1 9JR (TQ 33187 07875) *Chalk Management Partnership Balancing pond at Woollards Way Series of soakaways in Wild Park Figure 2: Location of balancing pond and soakaways and SPZ1 and 2 (shown in red and green respectively) Figure 3: Balancing pond at Woollards Way shows evidence of contamination with hydrocarbons and heavy metals Figure 4: Balancing pond with water Figure 5: Soakaway in Wild Park with contaminated silts and black water Summary of Proposed Project: Proposals are to modify the existing system and create a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS), or ‘Rainscape’, that prevents pollution of groundwater.

  • Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex
    Habitat Action Plan for Sussex Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex 1. Introduction and Definition One of the most urgent environmental problems we are facing in the 21 st Century is the loss of global biodiversity. As 90% of the population live in cities, towns and villages, it is here that this loss will have the most impact on our quality of life. The increasing density and the intensity of urban living has a major impact on the environment and our use of natural resources. Although we are part of the problem, we are also part of the solution. People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex sets out the action necessary to maintain and enhance the variety of life all around us. The underlying principle of People and Wildlife (Sussex Urban BAP) is that a healthy environment is an essential requirement for both our quality of life and for wildlife. We can achieve this through changing our attitudes and actions towards the natural environment within our everyday lives by: • Encouraging everyone to make environmentally informed decisions as our actions can and do affect the environment; • Looking at actions we can take as individuals or as members of a community based group, part of a school or college, employer or employee of a business or as decision-makers who help shape local policies; • Recognising that biodiversity is an essential indicator of the health of the environment and hence our quality of life. The Government has made clear the links between biodiversity, quality of life and sustainable development.

It is managed by Brighton & Hove City Council. 1.2 During 2010 the first stage of a management plan to restore areas of chalk grassland was heavily criticised by some Brighton residents and direct action was taken to disrupt it. The Council therefore decided to re-consult with local residents on the best way forward. 1.3 Nick Wates Associates was commissioned as an independent facilitator to help plan and run a series of four workshops in the communities around the Park. 1.4 This report explains how the workshops were conducted and sets out the results. 1.5 For further information please contact: Wild Park Consultation Cityparks, Stanmer Nursery, Lewes Road, Brighton BN1 9SE Email: [email protected] Wild Park Public Consultation Workshop Results – NWA – 12 January 2011 3 2 Methodology 2.1 The workshops were planned by a Focus Group comprising councillors, officers and key residents.
