Wild Park Rainscape Proposal Project Summary and Supporting Statements
Brighton ChaMP* for Water Protecting our precious groundwater in the South Downs Contact: Aimee Felus, ChaMP Project Manager E: [email protected] T: 01730 819282 M: 07887 415149 Wild Park Rainscape Proposal Project Summary and Supporting Statements Current drainage system for Strategic Road Network (SRN) in project location: Surface water drainage discharges from the A27 into a balancing pond at Woollards Way, Brighton BN1 9BP. 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.

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.

Five Years and Was Completely Renovated by Crosby
A Brief and Incomplete History of Squatting in Brighton (and Hove) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> January 2012 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Using Space 5 For more info on Using Space, check http://mujinga.net/squat.html For the online version of this history, check http://network23.org/snob >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Introduction >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Squatting in Brighton has a long and illustrious history, some of which is captured here. If you want to add or correct something, please send an email to the Squatters Network of Brighton (and Hove actually) on [email protected]. We are writing here the hidden history of squatting as a political tool but it is of course worth remembering that most squatting is completely secret and pretty much undocumented. People squat for a whole host of reasons including poverty, housing need and vulnerability. A recent Shelter report states that one in four single homeless people have squatted at some time. The politicised wing of squatting gets more media attention but it represents only one aspect of why people squat (although it also serves to fight for the rights of all). Certainly the political squatters are a radical minority. Another point worth mentioning is that there is a long tradition of travellers squatting land in Brighton and living in vehicles. This loose grouping includes New Age Travellers, Irish travellers and gypsies. Increased parking restrictions in the centre (eg round the LevUsing Space 5 el) have pushed travellers towards the outside of town, but landsquats (sites) still occur down at the seafront, in Moulsecoomb Wild Park and other places. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Early Days >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Back in the day, presumably quite a bit of land was acquired by squatting it.

The site as a whole is botanically diverse and is known as a good site to see birds on migration. The species-rich wet grassland is unique in Brighton & Hove on this scale. The proposed extension is therefore justified. The mapping indicates some minor deletions around the boundaries, although, with the exception of a deletion on the western boundary to remove part of the football ground, it is considered these simply reflect the boundaries of the surveys rather than a lack of interest.
