DESCRIPTION Integrated Key Characteristics: • Inter-tidal shoreline occurring at the base of the steep chalk cliffs where the South Downs meet the sea. • Characterised by flint shingle beaches, formed from erosion of chalk to reveal flint nodules that are eroded into pebbles. • Chalk rubble, resulting from cliff falls, forms spits of land that extend into the sea. • A dynamic and continually changing landscape featuring constant erosion and re- stocking of the beaches. • An exposed, wild landscape which is open to the elements and whose character is governed by the weather. • Engineered solutions to coastal erosion, sometimes extensive, such as wooden or concrete groynes and concrete retaining structures. • Coastal features such as lighthouses, associated with coastal navigation, and anti- invasion defences. • Extensive views out across the sea to the horizon.

  • 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.

  • 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.
