THE CHANGINGto FACE OF OUR CITY Council release flood of information Exclusive by Greg Hadfield

A FLOOD of information about Brighton and Hove City Council is to be released in a radical shift towards greater transparency.

Detailed results of more than 1,000 requests a year made under the Freedom of Information Act are to be published online, Brighton & Hove Independent can reveal.

It will also be easier for citizens to make requests, following a pioneering agreement with mySociety, a charity that uses digital technology "to help people become more powerful in the civic and democratic parts of their lives".

Currently, only the person who makes a direct request to the council sees the response.

Today, we can also report for the first time that recent Freedom of Information requests have disclosed: • £51,690 has been spent on legal services for evictions of travellers from illegal encampments across the city since 2004; the legal costs involving Wild Park alone total £3,810;

Circus Street: ‘Vibrant and sustainable’ Plans to transform the derelict municipal market building in Circus Street - into a "vibrant new area contributing significantly to both the cultural and economic future of the city" - have been submitted by developers Cathedral Group, in partnership with McLaren Property.

The companies estimate the £100 million project will: • bring investment of more than £200 million into the city over the next decade; • create more than 600 jobs; • deliver two landmark public buildings - The Dance Space, a new home for South East Dance, and a library and teaching building for the University of Brighton, as well as much-needed new homes and office space.

Beautiful green spaces, landscaped public squares and an events square with The Dance Space and University library at its centre, will be able to host street events and outdoor performance.

The scheme, which aims to be the most sustainable development in the city, includes a series of well-planted character areas, including a fruit-tree orchard,

with a raft of special initiatives to increase biodiversity and protect the environment, with green roofs, living walls, bird boxes, grey water recycling and food growing pathways.

Martyn Evans, creative director of Cathedral Group, said: “Our vision is to create a productive quarter of Brighton, economically and creatively, right on the site of the old fruit and vegetable market; a friendlier, greener neighbourhood where anything from seed swapping to roof top urban farming and orchard picking sits alongside art, culture, modern living and hi-tech start-up business.

“We started to consult local people and organisations on our initial proposals in February and then held a major public exhibition in April, which was attended by many hundreds of people. We have talked directly to neighbours and local residents groups, as well as over a hundred other organisations, embracing the interests of everyone in the city.

Our plans reflect that wide and comprehensive consultation” The regeneration plans include

142 new homes for a variety of family sizes, a community space for local people to use and small ‘Brighton-centric’ independent retail and cafe units, bringing the street level to life day and night.

Circus Street will become shared space, where pedestrians can enjoy equal status with cars, as is the case in New Road. There will be 600 cycle spaces, most under cover, and limited car parking, with 43 covered spaces for residents.

There will be halls of residence for up to 486 students, to meet a shortage of dedicated student accommodation i- thus freeing up residential areas of Brighton for families.

A modern office building on the corner of Circus Street and Kingswood Streetwill include more than 3,000 square metres of flexible office space to address the needs of growing businesses, ensuring that successful creative and digital businesses stay in the city when they outgrow their office space and to attract new companies to move into Brighton.

Jamie Watton, chief executive and artistic director at South East

Dance, said: “We already have roots in Brighton & Hove and continue to develop strong partnerships with other cultural providers in the City including those with Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival and The Basement.

The Dance Space will not only enable us to create a world class hub for dance professionals, but also provide a huge range of dance opportunities for local people.

We have received enormous support both locally and from the wider dance community for this development and it is hugely important to us that it now goes ahead.”

Professor Anne Boddington, dean of the University of Brighton’s facult of arts, said: “We see this as a great opportunity to extend the facilities we have for our students and staff. The new library and learning centre for the arts will showcase our extraordinary creative resources

Richmond House: ‘Affordable accommodation for overseas students’ Details of the planned redevelopment of Richmond House in Brighton have been revealed.

It is proposed the two-storey redundant office building in Richmond Road - behind the Sainsbury’s store at the Lewes Road Gyratory - be demolished.

The plan is to replace it with a building - three-storey in part, five-storey in part - to provide 138 rooms of student accommodation, with associated ancillary space,

76 cycle spaces, the removal of existing trees - along with landscaping and other associated works.

Developers say it could replace the need for up to 27 student houses of multiple occupation, which could be converted back to residential use.

In a message to councillors, they say the building would be pre-let to Kaplan International - described as an “international college working in long-term

homes being ready for occupation in just over two years.

Robert Powell is a member of the Brighton Marina Action Group - comprising the Kemp Town Society, Roedean Residents Association, Marine Gate Holdings Ltd., Save Brighton and Marine Gate Action Group He said: “We have been fighting for a decade to prevent high-rise towers being built on the marina.

“The fight is now entering its final battle as the Brighton Marina

Company Ltd have applied for a Marine Licence to build Phase 1 in the Outer Harbour.”

As part of its campaign against “this monster housing project”, the group has paid for a fullpage advertisement on page 40 of today’s Brighton & Hove Independent.

It calls on supporters to submit their objections to the Marine Management Organisation in Newcastle upon Tyne before October 31.

A last-ditch attempt has been launched to stall a £250 million development of Brighton Marina.

Developers were granted permission to build 853 flats and almost 2,000 square metres of shops and leisure space in the southwest corner of Brighton Marina nearly seven years ago. But the economic climate delayed the project.

In April, it was reported that building would begin before the end of this year, with the first

and include publically accessible space, allowing us to invite the city’s communities to collaborate and see our work and our historic design collections.”

Brighton and Hove City Council will shortly open a statutory consultation of the planning application, inviting the public and stakeholders to comment and developers hope the scheme will be approved by council's planning committee early next year. If it gets the green light, construction will begin next summer.

Underneath: the arches that support the seafront Jason Kitcat We recently re-opened a section of the seafront promenade to pedestrians and cyclists after a huge amount of work to rebuild the arches keeping it up.

This is part of a £4 million, three-year programme to strengthen the promenade which is essential to keeping the seafront A259 road open.

Designs include specially-made bricks, new wooden frames, doors and windows, and iron railings Many don’t know that the seafront is supported by a bridge structure, which runs in

front of low chalk cliffs.

Over many years, these Victorian arches had been deteriorating, allowing rain to leak into spaces below. This meant that the lower promenade arches couldn’t be used for local businesses, and that the seafront road above was at risk.

We have, however, been investing significant money in rebuilding sections of these arches to ensure that they are stable and safe for years to come.

What’s more, the new 26 fishermen’s arches on Brighton seafront will provide 10 new business units or artists’ studios, as well new public toilets in this key area.

Council conservation experts and English Heritage have been closely involved to ensure that the new arches and seafront are in keeping with the style of our historic promenade. The designs include specially-made bricks, new wooden frames, doors and windows, and iron railings recast from moulds dating back to the 1880s.

The next phase of these

Conservation experts advised on the rebuilding

seafront improvements will include works on the section from Regency Square subway to the Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel. Work should be completed around winter 2014.

How to make serious money on eBay and Amazon Dan Wilson Last month, eBay launched an interesting pilot to take the online marketplace to the High Street.

In a test involving 50 sellers, you now have the option to collect your eBay purchases from your local branch of Argos.

It's just another example of how eBay has changed over the past five years. No longer is it exclusively, or indeed predominantly, an auction website for second-hand goods.

Most sales are now made using the Buy it Now fixed-price format and it's increasingly a top destination for new and in-season shopping.

And nowadays the sellers on eBay aren't just individuals.

There's an army of nearly 200,000 small businesses selling alongside big retail outlets too. Schuh, Boden and Superdry all sell their goods on eBay, as well as their own websites. eBay has enjoyed a resurgence and renewed popularity recently thanks to the irresistible rise of mobile shopping. It's estimated that more than 40% of eBay purchases are made using a smartphone or a tablet like an iPad. The new lustre that eBay has found means that once again it's a business opportunity that can't be ignored. And if you're just planning to sell a few items here and there, that's cool too. It remains the lowcost, low-risk way of branching out into online selling and tapping into a monthly buying audience of 18

million shoppers.

The basics of selling on eBay are relatively simple and straightforward. But it's the details that set the best sellers ahead of the rest. Buyers have become much more demanding as standards in ecommerce have risen. So the shambolic operations that passed for eBay businesses back in the day no longer cut the mustard; buyers now judge sellers strictly on performance.

So that means when an item is sold, you need to send it immediately. eBay and Amazon are both experimenting with services that will allow same-day delivery in London and next-day delivery is now considered standard. Royal Mail is also not necessarily the best or cheapest option these days for despatches, especially for bigger parcels. Low-cost couriers such as MyHermes and Collect+ are well worth exploring and you can drop your parcels at local convenience stores too.

Because so many people now shop using mobile devices, the photographs that you use to illustrate your wares are increasingly vital. Crisp, clear and uncluttered snaps that really display your goods will clinch the deal much more than detailed written descriptions.

And to boost interest in the items you're selling, make them available to shoppers abroad. The most profitable and successful online sellers aren't afraid to ship overseas.

Once you've mastered the basics of selling on eBay, you can take those skills and apply them to other marketplaces and also to establishing your own

Teachers strike over pay, workload and pensions Up to 2,000 protesters joined a march by teachers who went on strike yesterday, resulting the closure of schools across Brighton and Hove.

The march - organised by the National Union of Teachers and the NAS/UWT - caused traffic delays and curtailed bus services as it made its way to a rally at the Brighton Centre.

Teachers are objecting to proposals by Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Education, to bring in performance-related pay, increase their workloads and make changes to their pensions.

Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, was among speakers at the rally in Brighton.

She said: "Michael Gove doesn't

website shop.

The most obvious next step for ecommerce entrepreneurs is Amazon.

It is thought that more than a third of what's for sale on Amazon is actually coming from independent third-party vendors rather than Amazon itself.

Amazon is a more difficult marketplace to start using. They have very strict criteria for new sellers and will want to vet you and your business before letting you trade.

But when it comes to selling online, the only way to know whether you

can make it work is to do it. And with the online Christmas rush already underway, it's a good time to start experimenting.

Finalist in Sky TV’s Portrait Artist of the Year Milo Hartnoll, a former student at Varndean College who has recently finished his degree in illustration at the University of Brighton, has made it to the last 10 of the Sky Arts national competition to find their Portrait Artist of the Year. A television series will be presented

by Joan Bakewell and Frank Skinner.

The winner from each of four

heats will take part in two further portrait challenges, including a portrait of a public figure or famous person.

Work by the finalists will then be displayed at the National Portrait Gallery; the overall winner will be awarded a £10,000 commission to produce a portrait of Hilary Mantel, the double Booker and Costa award-winning author.

Slam poet Tom Sissons on UK Tour Students at Varndean College student Tom Sissons has already won prizes for his plays and poems and is now to go on tour nationally with Apples and Snakes, the spoken-word theatre company on their Public Address II tour. The tour features five talented, eclectic and exciting poets from five regions, joined together with one mission: to delight your ears with their words. Audiences can expect a variety of styles, a range of voices, and brain-teasing entertainment.

Tom - the 2012 Hammer and Tongue Brighton Slam Champ and star at Brighton’s Bite! Youth Poets v MCs battle - is cutting a clear path through the overgrowth of spoken word, with writing and performances about politics, urban life, and working-class values that exhibit a maturity and style belying his teen years.

Tom said: “I'm over the moon to have been given the opportunity

Labour Party conference

Performances about politics, urban life, and working-class values

to perform my work among such high-calibre poets on a nationwide platform. The Public Address II tour has enabled spoken-word poets like me to share the messages and perspectives unique to us with new audiences.”

Politics students from Varndean College were fortunate to attend the final day of the Labour Party conference in Brighton last month.

The students heard well-known speakers and listened to lively debates around key issues.

Sadiq Khan and Yvette Cooper led a debate around the theme of safer communities, while Andy Burnham was the keynote speaker for the health debate.

For most students, though, the highlights came in the afternoon: Doreen Lawrence, who has recently been made a Labour peer, talked about her own political journey following the murder of her son, Stephen; finally, Ed Miliband held a wide-ranging question-and-answer session.

Varndean College – room to be you Set in open green playing fields with direct views across Brighton to the sea, Varndean College has room for you to develop your unique potential whilst making new friends.

Students say they choose to come to Varndean College because of the wide choice of courses and consistently excellent results. They are particularly drawn to the College because of its beautiful setting with peaceful, outdoor social space for everyone. Students enjoy working with enthusiastic, friendly and supportive staff in an environment where learning matters.

Flexibility, choice and responsiveness make the college different - big enough to be able to offer over 40 advanced level courses but at the same time relatively small and able to respond to you as an individual.

Developing each student’s individual potential and success is a vital factor in the college‘s success.

Whether you want to go straight into employment or are aiming to go to a top university, the college has years of experience (and an impressive track record) of helping students to achieve their goals.

The A level pass rate is 98% with 48% achieving A*-B and the International Baccalaureate results were some of the best in the country, with 3 students in the top 0.25% worldwide. The recent OFSTED report highlights the reasons why: • “Enthusiastic and skilled teachers plan and deliver lessons in a thoughtful and imaginative way.”

• “Students benefit from abundant teaching and learning resources.”

• “Students appreciate the strong support from staff which promotes learning.”

• “Staff provide exemplary individual support for students.”

• “Students develop positive working relationships with each other.”

• “Students enjoy coming to College and going to lessons.”

• “A significant amount of the overall teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding.”

• “Students make better than expected progress to a significant extent.”

• “A large number of students go on to prestigious universities.”

At Varndean College you will find room to be you.

The madness of methadone Jean Calder In 1843, Karl Marx wrote that religion was “the opium of the people”. He meant that religion provided comfort and cheap glamour to the poor, anaesthetising them against life’s hardships. Marx, of course, knew the rich could afford real opiates - which in the 19th century were legal and accessible, usually in the form of laudanum.

It’s hard to understand why so many liberal intellectuals in this country want to legalise (or “decriminalise”, as they call it) opiates which - when they could be bought over a chemist’s counter - were well known to destroy lives.

In the decades before Marx

Modern-day romantics have created a mythology around drug use wrote, many middle-class British intellectuals, such as Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his daughter Sara, Thomas De Quincey, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Bramwell Bronte, had their health damaged and, in many cases, their talent destroyed, by what Coleridge called “the accursed habit”.

Modern-day romantics have created a mythology around drug use. I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve told me that it’s possible to be an addict and a high-functioning professional provided that the drugs used are prescribed by a doctor and pure.

In reality, all mood-altering drugs affect ability and judgment.

And too many patients have been terribly damaged by doctors who

have found it far easier to hide rampant drug addiction, than they would an addiction to alcohol. The most famous of these was Harold Shipman.

Drug-reformers bolster their position by correctly asserting that alcohol kills more people than other drugs. It’s also the case that far more people drink alcohol, because it’s legal. Low prices and easy access - through deregulation and increasing the number of outlets - has encouraged alcohol use and created horrifyingly high levels of alcohol-related deaths and addiction. Given this is the case, it’s hard to understand why anyone would wish to encourage consumption of yet more drugs by making them legal and easily available. I understand it would make life easier for middle-class recreational-drug-users, but it would be at great cost to society.

Successive governments have, over decades, cravenly welcomed tax revenues from sale of alcohol and tobacco, despite the known health risks and enormous cost to the NHS. The well-resourced pro-legalisation lobby now tempts the coalition government with the thought of potential tax revenues from legalised sale of cannabis and possibly other drugs. In reality, however, tax revenues would be dwarfed by the huge potential profits to be made by multinationals, often taxed elsewhere.

Historically, manufacturers and suppliers of addictive substances - from tobacco and alcohol producers through to supermarkets - have had extraordinary power in this country. Wealthy individuals and corporate donors still wield enormous influence - often bought by large donations to political parties.

In 1997, Bernie Ecclestone scandalously “persuaded” Tony Blair to exempt Formula One racing from restrictions on tobacco sponsorship, following a

million-pound donation.

More recently, under pressure from the drinks lobby, David Cameron’s government shamefully abandoned commitments to minimum-pricing for alcohol, defying medical advice that it would save many lives. Moreover, despite pre-election criticism of Labour’s deregulation of licensing laws, Cameron has failed to reverse them.

The starkest example of corporate influence on policy is the power of international drug companies to influence the NHS. I wince when I learn that the LIberal Democrats want a “new” focus on drugs as a health rather than a criminal problem. In reality, addicts are rarely arrested for simple possession - and there has, for decades, been bi-partisan support for a policy of “harm minimisation”, based precisely on avoiding crime by supplying legally-prescribed addictive drugs via the NHS.

Large drug companies have made millions from prescriptions of methadone, itself a highlyaddictive substance that many addicts sell on or top up with illegal drugs.

Far from being a route to recovery, 6,200 people in England are reported to have been taking opiate substitutes for more than 10 years, while 27,000 have been prescribed them for more than five years.

The cost to the NHS runs into hundreds of millions of pounds. At the same time, abstinence-based residential treatment facilities, which are relatively cheap to run and have been shown to work, are oversubscribed and under-funded.

In 2010, David Cameron described methadone as a “government-authorised form of opium” that wasn’t “really

dealing with the problem”.

Despite this, there is still no effective strategy in place to fund residential treatment facilities. We should care about this, because in our city we have some of the most effective in the country.

It’s no comfort that Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes - who, like Nick Clegg, supports drug reform - has been catapulted into the Home Office.

In the light of his elevation, I expect even greater focus on “club drugs” and expensive vanity projects such as “shooting galleries”.

I fear little attention will be paid to the unglamorous, time-consuming but life-saving work of assisting addicts - and alcoholics - to “come off and stay off”. @JeanCalder101

Star power for Albion wheelchair-users Much has been written about Brighton and Hove Albion’s ambitious off-thefield plans, while the club’s charitable arm continues to work wonders within the local community. RICHARD MORRIS takes a look at one of Albion in the Community’s most successful schemes.

Disabled sportsmen and women have been enjoying unprecedented attention since the hugely successful London 2012 Paralympic Games – with athletes such as Ellie Simmonds and David Weir becoming household names, thanks to their exploits in the pool and on the track.

Added media attention has led to increased participation across a host of sports up and down the country. But, here in Brighton, Albion in the Community (AITC) already had a project up and running - and proving a success.

The Brighton and Hove Albion’s powerchair football team has been going since 2009 and earlier this month celebrated when one of its players received a call-up to the England training camp at St George’s Park.

Matt Francis, 16, took part in sessions at the national football centre and has high hopes of being selected for the national squad for next year’s European Championship and the World Cup in 2015.

But, as with much of the AITC’s work, the powerchair team is about far more than preparing players for top-level competition.

Nikki Richardson, of AITC was keen to introduce powerchair football to readers who may not have even heard of it.

So what does it involve?

“It is designed to be a sport for disabled people who generally cannot play another competitive sport like basketball, rugby or hockey”, she explained. “It is played on a basketball-court-size pitch, with four players per team on the pitch at any one time - with a maximum of eight per team and rolling subs.

“There is no offside rule, but the rules tend to follow the 11-a-side game with goal-kicks, penalties and fouls. It is a mix of skills, dribbling passing and fast, accurate passing.”

The Albion team has played in the national league since 2011 and

Laura Lockington The Beauty of Murder, by A K Benedict There are times when I long to be in another place, another time.

With all the benefits of modernday life, obviously. Dentistry, antibiotics and Chilli Pickle takeaways spring readily to mind.

But oh, for the days when you could wear a bustle, or step into a horse-drawn carriage sometimes seem pretty irresistible.

AK Benedict has cleverly managed to combine 17th-century Cambridge and the world of the sinister Jackamore Grass with modern-day Stephen Killigan and the unexplained death of a beauty queen.

The trail takes us to a world of tattooists, philosophers, cadavers and scholars in this rich and absorbing book. As we tread the cold dark alleys of blood-stained Cambridge, we can shiver with delight, knowing that soon we are back in the modern day – with possibly even more terrors.

The cold walls of Cambridge

hold many secrets and intrigues, and it’s a joy to romp through this wonderful book to uncover them.

My time at Cambridge was not long, and certainly not distinguished in any way unless you count a lifetime’s ability to make toast at a drop of a hat. But if you’ve ever been there, you’ll know the pull of the knowledge and bibliomancy that it holds.

This is a perfect book to read at this time of year with All Hallows’ Eve rapidly approaching.

AK Benedict will be appearing at The Bookish Supper Society at The Naked Eye Gallery on Wednesday, October 30. Tickets from Dome Box Office: 01273 709709

secured promotion to the Premier League last season. That leaves the players rubbing shoulders with teams from Nottingham, Norwich City and Bolton. Quite an achievement for a club that had far humbler beginnings.

As Ms Richardson revealed: “One of our current players, Seb Finch, was playing with AITC when he was 11. And when Matt Francis and he met at Angmering School in 2009, Matt also started to go to

the club.

“They were playing in their every-day chairs, with half a car tyre as a bumper.”

The team now uses state-ofthe-art specialist chairs, which can cost as much as £6,000 – with an additional £400 for the specialist bumper. The fixture list also sees the squad having to travel across the country for games – with league games often held in Nottingham, requiring an

overnight stay.

Training is held in Angmering and Portslade.

The interview: Andy Winter

Plans, plans, plans Anyone who has lived in Brighton and Hove for any length of time does not need telling that our city is never short of ambitious and exciting plans.

For a monorail, a viewing platform, an ice rink, a replacement for the West Pier, a replacement for the Brighton Centre, a refurbishment of New England House, radical improvements to Valley Gardens, a park-and-ride scheme, a wind farm at sea.

Some of these, of course, are going ahead, or at least making progress - however slow.

The list is of projects in recent decades that were planned but never came to fruition is long.

Enough to fill a book.

Indeed, there is a risk that we greet new plans for new buildings and developments with an unwarranted degree of cynicism, even disbelief.

The pattern is somewhat familiar: first, impressive plans are unveiled, illustrated with glorious - even utopian - visions of squares and piazzas, populated by a handful of citizens enjoying a seat or stroll in a city at peace with itself. Cars and crowds are absent. What is proposed is all for the best in the best of all possible worlds.

Then, the naysayers appear, including a diverse but vocal group of “not-in-my-city” and “over-my-dead-body” types. They scour the plans for reasons to amend, to delay, and - more often than not - to mothball. Reasons to go back to the drawing board, to another dream-world of squares

and piazzas.

We have seen it in the New England Quarter, and with the “new” Sainsbury’s store; we’ve seen it with the American Express Community Stadium; we’ve seen it with the “shared space” that is New Road; we’ve seen it with improvements to Brighton Station.

To varying degrees somewhere between furious and apoplectic - opponents regarded these as controversial; to most of us today, they are a welcome part of the cityscape.

Often, our reaction comes down to how we view the world and the future. Crucially, it comes down to how we respond to change. Do we fear it? Or do we embrace it?

Essentially, the question we ask ourselves everyday is: What sort of city do we want to live in?

Do we want a city, for example, whose “tall buildings policy” is that we won’t have any tall buildings? Do we want a city, nestled between sea and South Downs, that remains “full up” - as so many try to tell us? Forever?

Of course not.

Naturally, we want to preserve The Lanes and the North Laine; we want to keep the character that is Brighton, and Hove, and Brighton and Hove. But we also want to build a future that is dynamic, prosperous and forward-looking.

Let us all try to embrace the future. Not fear it When we wish the end, let us try to find it in our hearts also to will the means.

BHT (Brighton Housing Trust) is celebrating its 45th birthday this month - an occasion that Andy Winter argues is not one to celebrate. He would much rather the need for BHT services had disappeared many years ago, that poverty was a thing of the past, and that homelessness no longer existed.

What led you into this line of work?

I always had a sense of the importance of social justice, from as far back as my South African roots. I became very aware of the disparity between wealth and poverty.

When I moved to England in 1979, I could see that there was a clear divide between the haves and have nots. You have those living in comfort, those who are surviving, and then those who are living on the edge. It’s the final group who can get tipped over the edge.

In my experience, the longer people are over the edge the harder it is to come back. I am a bit of an idealist. I believe we can create opportunities for people so that they can have some control of their lives and come back from that edge.

How did homelessness look 28 years ago? And have the issues around housing and homelessness changed?

I think a lot of the same issues are still there. But some things have vastly improved, while others have certainly got worse too.

Andy Winter has worked for BHT for 28 years

What has got worse?

The main issue is the lack of affordable housing today. Even the so-called affordable housing is beyond the reach of many people. And accommodation in the private rented sector has become so prohibitively expensive that many people don’t have a chance of getting social housing and they can’t even look to the private rented sector as an option.

What has got better?

There are more services that are working well together and are able to provide the circumstances where people can make real changes.

You will have seen many changes in government and policy over the years. Have there been any particularly difficult times?

I think we are going through the most difficult time at the moment, with the austerity measures that are affecting all public services.

The options available to people are becoming fewer and fewer.

We have yet to see the full fallout

of the welfare reforms and I think things will get worse before they get better.

You talk about how fortunate you are and some people might say you have made a career out of homelessness and other people’s misfortunes. What would you say to that?

I have to accept that. I have been extremely fortunate for the life I have and it has been built on the misfortune of others. It is an ethical struggle.

My schooling was very privileged in South Africa and we were taught to believe that we were going to be the next generation of leaders. I think the key thing is how people use that privilege. I challenge myself regularly and ask whether I am using the opportunities and education I have for the best in society and I think the answer is yes. I believe I am providing the right leadership for BHT. A history of homelessness, see page 19

A stark phrase that risks offence Though I hold little truck with the Daily Mail, I felt that Jean Calder's article (page 8, October 11) was a useful one that outlined some of the more positive campaigns that it has held over the years.

That was, until I reached the phrase "son of elite immigrant intellectuals with little historic connection to this country".

This phrase, unqualified by any further text, mirrors the kind of implicit anti-semitic statements and sentiments that encourage racist invective.

Standing starkly as it does, it implies a kind of threat or subtext that this means a lack of loyalty

to their adopted country. This is the kind of "fourth column" implication that Hitler and others have made to justify verbal and physical attacks on Jews all over the world.

As an atheist second generation of Jewish immigrants from Germany and Eastern Europe I find the implication of this phrase is deeply offensive.

I know that my grandparents - with no historic connection to this country - were proud to live here and that they and their descendants have contributed a great deal to the economic and cultural life of the nation.

More parking spaces mean more congestion Jeffrey Barron writes (page 10, October 11) "New residential and commercial buildings should provide for off-road parking".

But the more parking spaces provided in the city centre generates more car journeys and worsens congestion and pollution.

In the same issue of Brighton & Hove Independent, Mike Holland (page 13) writes a very disagreeable article. I am surprised that the newspaper's editor allowed it.

It is perfectly possible to

disagree with people without being disagreeable. Mike Holland seems to be calling for a car-free area in the Old Town, a plan which the Green council initiated. As there were so many objections, mainly from shopkeepers and taxi-drivers, the scheme had to go to a public inquiry, hence the delay.

The Brighton Society is looking forward to a car-free Old Town.

You could make a marvellous foster parent After a difficult start in life, I was fostered as a child. From my own experiences, I know what difference a foster family can have on a child’s life, from offering love and support to helping them have a future to look forward to. I’ve gone on to have success in the financial sector and now invest in and assist start-up businesses across the world, though your readers may know me from Dragons’ Den. It’s why I’m supporting Action for Children’s Fostering Myth Busting Academy. I would urge your readers to visit Action for Children’s website at

actionforchildren.org.uk to find out more about fostering. For people in the South East this could be an important first step to opening up their home to a vulnerable child or young person in desperate need of help.

We’re all equal in the eyes of the law Mike Holland How does that work then? Come to Brighton and Hove with a caravan, tell everyone you’re homeless, and the local authority will bend over backwards to help you.

Come to Brighton and Hove without a caravan, tell them you are homeless, and you will immediately be told there is a local connections policy - but they will help repatriate you whence you came, because the city is full.

Well, as far as I know, all human beings are equal in the eyes of the law. Therefore, it does seem odd to me that people towing caravans are given preferential treatment over those arriving by foot. I say this especially as - unless all these caravan homeless people are all like Jeff Capes - I presume they move their caravans around with a motor vehicle. These would be the same dreaded pollution machines our administration is hell-bent on

banishing from the city.

This all smacks of double standards.

It seems that if you have a caravan and are homeless you are all right and part of an ethnicminority group. But if you are unfortunate enough to be homeless without a caravan, you are simply a rough sleeper at best. And many other descriptive names, at worst.

It really doesn’t seem to be a level playing field. Perhaps the various agencies helping rough sleepers could level the playing field a bit by buying some of the people without caravans some cheap second-hand ones to balance things up a bit.

We welcome just about anyone, provided they have a caravan Alternatively, we could do what they did in southern Ireland, when they passed a law making it illegal to trespass on private land with a motor vehicle. That solved their caravan problem at a stroke and is, of course, the reason why their

A permanent site for travellers is planned at Horsdean

travelling community has largely migrated over here.

The word is well and truly out now, of course, and the travelling club is making the most of it.

We welcome just about anyone, provided they have a caravan and the likes of Councillor Pete West promotes this idea.

Pete gleefully tells us: “The

addition of a permanent traveller site at Horsdean will give greater stability for travelling families and strengthen existing links with the local community that already exist with the transit site.”

Nice quote, Pete. That should

help sell the place. If only you guys put as much effort into promoting other types of tourism our city would be a much better place to live for council-tax-payers - with or without caravans. @RealMikeHolland

Revealed: Secr

By Greg Hadfield, Brighton Fuse advisory board member It investigated more than 7,500 companies in Brighton and Hove - of which 1,495 were identified to be in the CDIT sector. In plain language, they were businesses characterised as creative, or digital, or involved in information technology.

Questionnaires were sent out - and nearly one in three (32.4%) responded. A total of 77 one-to-one interviews were also undertaken.

In all, the Brighton Fuse project took nearly three years - and cost an estimated £1 million.

At its heart was a team of a dozen academics and industry figures, from the Arts & Humanities Research Council, the National Centre for Universities and Business, the University of Brighton, the University of Sussex, and Wired Sussex.

In brief, it was one of the most intensively-focused pieces of research of its kind: quantitative (statistical insights) as well as qualitative (understanding underlying reasons and motivations).

The goal? To provide a deeper understanding of what drives and shapes the size and development of the United Kingdom’s creative economy, by focusing on the “cluster” of CDIT companies in Brighton and Hove.

And the results? Findings that - as Brighton & Hove Independent exclusively revealed last week could point to a bright future for the British economy.

To understand how, nearly

300 people attended the formal launch at the Sallis Benney Theatre in Brighton on Tuesday; the previous evening, a similar event had been held n London, for an invited audience of senior civil servants, business leaders, and academics.

Even the 79-page report scratches only the surface. You can download it here: www.brightonfuse.com.

Crucially, the report highlights how important the creative and technology sector is in our city - worth £713 million a year, just behind the £750 million a year attributed to tourism. This in the context of a local economy put at an estimated £5.9 billion a year.

The project sought to investigate: • How creativity links to entrepreneurship and economic growth?

• What combination of skills, knowledge and networks is essential to the thriving creative digital business?

• What role does education and academic research play in a successful digital cluster?

Brighton & Hove Independent Friday, October 18 2013 17

rets of a superfused city

• How and when should government intervene to promote the conditions required for clusters to generate extraordinary high growth?

Specifically, it identified an important new breed of company - one that is “superfused” - which combines, in an unprecedented manner, creative and technological expertise. One that is “at the intersection of technology and liberal arts”, as Steve Jobs described Apple.

It is these “fused” and “superfused” enterprises that are enjoying remarkable success – even in austere times - with annual growth rates of 17.9% and 20.8% respectively.

The report states: “While Brighton’s creative, design and IT firms grew faster than the local economy and more than 10 times

faster than the British economy as a whole, fused business grew at more than twice that speed and superfused firms grew faster still.”

Researchers paid particular attention to the individual entrepreneurs leading such highgrowth companies.

One of the key - and surprising - findings was the prominence of arts and humanities skills in the Brighton and Hove digital “cluster”, with 48% of Brighton entrepreneurs being arts, design, and humanities graduates.

Today, we reproduce some of the 29 graphs included in the final report.

Headline findings include: • Six in 10 companies in the digital cluster listed face-to-face services as an important source of revenue; online services were listed by more

than four in 10 (42.7%); • Nearly three in four (74%) listed other businesses as clients; more than four in 10 said individual consumers were clients; • Nearly three in four creative and digital entrepreneurs (73%) moved to the city because of the lifestyle it offers; • Lack of office space was identified as a barrier to growth by nearly one in five companies (18.7%).

It is, of course, not enough merely to interpret our city economy; the point is to change it. To build on what has been learned. Therefore, the report ends with clear conclusions and policy recommendations.

In addition, it highlight four lessons of the Brighton experience: It is very difficult to create

artificial clusters from nothing, but policy can be helpful later on “Rather than starting from scratch, the Brighton cluster emerged from existing technology which was developed to create and capture value by entrepreneurial firms exploiting local advantages that often reflected disadvantages in other areas, and that changed through time.”

Cluster development is a dynamic mix of hard-nosed economics and softer cultural and institutional support “The evolution of the Brighton cluster highlights the complexity of the relationships between firms, local agencies and the environment.

In contrast to what some may expect, the entrepreneurs and

managers in Brighton are often very commercially focused.”

Creating interdisciplinary integration is difficult but can be done “The fused nature of the Brighton creative and digital cluster - the way that the arts and humanities are integrated with digital technology - is at the heart of its success. Fused and superfused firms performed much better than unfused firms and the highly innovative, successful firms at the core of the cluster that provided many of the links to national and international markets were particularly interdisciplinary. This integration of different kinds of knowledge, often from different cultures, is difficult and doesn’t happen naturally.”

A 45-year history of homelessness Jo Berry Brighton Housing Trust - or BHT Sussex as it is now known - reaches its 45th birthday this week. It is a bittersweet occasion, tinged with both happiness and regret.

The regret stems from the knowledge that more homeless and vulnerable men and women are in need of our services than ever before; the happiness from witnessing the positive, long-term outcomes that we are able to bring about in the majority of the people we work with.

Over the past 45 years, BHT Sussex has grown significantly - from its beginnings as a singlehouse hostel in Islingword Road, Brighton, to a multi-faceted organisation encompassing 30 specialised projects working across Brighton and Hove, Eastbourne, and Hastings.

BHT, or the Brighton Hostel as it was then known, was registered as a charity in 1968 to provide shelter to single homeless people in Brighton. The hostel provided basic amenities, allowed the drinking of alcohol on the

premises, and was used primarily by men.

The hostel changed its name to Brighton Housing Trust (BHT) in 1977 and opened ‘The Dry House’, the first such service in Brighton, to provide accommodation and support to people dealing with alcohol dependency.

In 1981, the Housing Advice and Legal Centre opened to provide specialist legal advice to people with housing problems.

In its first three months, the centre dealt with 125; today, the advice centre works with several thousand people each year.

We took over the management in 1982 of First Base day centre, which provided meals, showers, storage, activities, and advice to homeless and inadequatelyhoused people. On average, it would see between 40 and 50 people each day - in most cases, middle-age men, many of whom were alcohol dependent. A sign of the times is that we now see between 70 and100 rough sleepers each morning.

The next 10 years saw a period of rapid expansion for

the organisation, partly due to the recession of the 1980s, with several new projects opening, including the first service outside Brighton.

Throughout the 1990s, the number and reach of the services delivered by BHT steadily. There was a step change in the way services worked with homeless and excluded people; it was no longer acceptable to provide a “sticking plaster” service that simply picked up the pieces time and again.

Over the past (almost) 20 years, the growth of BHT has continued in line with the increase in the number of people needing our help. During this time, we have seen the demographic of the people needing our services change greatly; we now see more young people, more families, and more people with drug addictions and mental-health problems.

Working across Brighton and Hove, Eastbourne, and Hastings, BHT Sussex provides mental-health services, hostel accommodation, day services, specialist practitioner support, work and learning initiatives,

An early soup run, near the site of the Brighton’s Chain Pier

addiction services, housing schemes, and advice and support.

In spite of the above, a true sign of our success will be when our services are no longer needed.

Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown, handed a 1,000-plus name petition to the government urging the coalition to release funding for improvements to the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Mr Kirby’s petition wants £420million to be earmarked for the mooted modernisation programme.

Simon Kirby, the MP for Brighton Kemptown, was celebrating this week after being appointed parliamentary private secretary in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He said: “I am delighted.

It will give me the opportunity to lobby the Government from a more senior position.”

A £300 million waste water treatment works opened in Peacehaven on Monday. Southern Water has spent four years building the new site to help maintain cleaner seas along the Brighton coast. An estimated 95 million litres of waste enters local sewers every day.

A stencilled piece of street art on a postbox in Regency Square led to rumours Banksy had been busy in Brighton. The infamous Bristolian artist, however, is almost certainly not behind the piece - because it appeared during his residence in New York and is most likely a copy.

Throwing a life-line to local people

On 15th April 1997 a charity in East Brighton was born to offer help, advice and training to local people.

The aim of the charity was to try and alleviate the suffering of thousands of residents who live in the city of Brighton and Hove who have found serious difficulties in finding their way into the community, into social circles and into work.

The sheer determination and dedication of the staff and volunteers at The Whitehawk Inn has been responsible for a fantastic success story in far more ways than they ever dreamed possible and have found a solution to a city-wide issue.

Over the past 14 years, The Whitehawk Inn has thrown a 'life-line' to 9000 local people.

As many as over 700 have made their way into the workplace and eliminated the very high chances of either staying in debt, social exclusion or ill health. Since 2004 alone, a total of 7,500 residents have improved their prospects, including 3,800 who have developed their employability skills. An incredible 5,700 have taken courses and 1,350 have gained a qualification.

In addition to this, the work of The Whitehawk Inn has unwittingly helped reduce crime figures across the several postcodes that make up one of the most deprived areas in the UK. Again, making a huge, positive difference to the city of Brighton and Hove.

More than 850 people are helped every year by the tremendous work of this independent charity and not one of those people are obligated to attend; it is their own choice. The learners at The Whitehawk Inn ask for help and advice or attend a course because they want to be included, they want to be active citizens and they want to be there.

With no Central Government funding and with running costs

of £360,000 a year, this essential service must rely on the support of individual donors and local businesses.

During the past 14 years and with a 15% increase in attendees in the last academic year, it has been a painfully steep climb to keep going but now the charity faces an even greater pressure as they find their past success is the very inspiration for hundreds more local people who are searching for a future.

The Whitehawk Inn has unwittingly helped reduce crime figures across the several postcodes that make up one of the most deprived areas in the UK For many, The Whitehawk Inn will provide the relief of ill health caused by anxieties, lack of confidence and lack of self-esteem that generates from unemployment and exclusion. It will provide training for hundreds more, giving those who truly believed they never had a hope of ever learning a skill, to succeed and prepare for work and face a bright and hopeful future.

The charity's appeal 'Learning for Life' launched its spin-off campaign 'Invest in People' one year ago this month. Since then, eleven businesses have supported the campaign by way of donating sums of money. These businesses really understand that their donation is in fact an investment in local people. Their support has meant that The Whitehawk Inn can continue to change the future for thousands of people; people who want to join in and become a part of the success that this City can be proud of.

One of the Appeal patrons is local man Mike Holland. It may

seem as if he supports and sponsors everyone. He is a very generous man. In fact, Mike is extremely careful about how he distributes his generosity. If he truly believes in something, he will support it all the way and it is true to say that since Mike agreed to be patron he has been the Appeal's leading light.

Mike Holland is so dedicated and passionate about his role and the reason is not only because he sees first-hand the amazing results but because those thousands of individuals who benefit from the charity's work, have chosen to seek help; they really want it and he believes in helping those who help themselves - it's as simple as that!

Those already living in poverty and experiencing ill health are disproportionally affected by the

recession and so as we head into 2014 and hundreds more people 'queue up' to find their way into The Whitehawk Inn's 'answer to a prayer' and as people's needs become more complex and more urgent, the charity faces an ongoing struggle to meet the financial demands of its running costs.

As year on successful year and with more and more people waiting to find their future, the charity has to find support from somewhere and where better than from local businesses who really are investing in local people. It is probable that a future employee will be an ex-learner from The Whitehawk Inn. The Whitehawk Inn asks local businesses to please get in touch and pledge their support. Just 36 businesses across the City, pledging an annual £1000 will

absolutely ensure that the proven success of this essential service may continue. A little note from Mr Holland: "Remember each £1000 is tax-deductible and is therefore only £700 in real terms!

Every business supporting this worthwhile and essential charity is contributing to the commercial success of the City as well as investing in the future of thousands of local adults.

In a few weeks time The Brighton & Hove Independent, proud partner of The Whitehawk Inn, will announce all those businesses who have shown their support.

To find out more or to donate, please get in touch with Frances Duncan, Director of The Whitehawk Inn on 01273 682222 or email at: fduncan@whinn.org. uk

Those adults who participate in 2 part-time courses during a single year will benefit from: improvements in health which has a value of £148 to the individual, a greater likelihood of finding a job or staying in a job; a value of at least £224 to each individual, better social relationships which has a value of £658 to the individual plus the far greater likelihood that people volunteer on a regular basis which has a value of £130 to each participant.

Burning the Clocks: Search is on for Leading Lights

Up to 20,000 spectators expected on Saturday, December 21 (Photograph: Ray Gibson)

A Brighton-based arts charity is looking for 12 "Leading Lights" from the business community to help fund this year's Burning the Clocks - an event that has happened every year since 1995.

Same Sky, based in the North Laine, is the biggest community arts charity in the Southeast.

With a portfolio of projects both large and small, it is probably best-known for its work with the annual Brighton Children's Parade in May and the annual pre-Christmas event of Burning the Clocks.

This year's funding is secure, but money is always very tight.

But to make this year's event

- on Saturday, December 21 even more special, the charity is today launching a Leading Lights initiative to identify 12 sponsors, each contributing £1,000. In return, Same Sky would offer each sponsor the title of "Burning The Clocks Leading Light", which would include VIP status at the event and the opportunity to light the bonfire.

Burning the Clocks is a unique community event that brings the whole city together with more than 2,000 children, parents and teachers taking part in a procession, which attracts up to 20,000 spectators.

The event is held to mark the shortest day of the year. Local people make their own paperand-willow lanterns and, after processing through the city, they pass them into a blazing bonfire on Brighton beach, as a token of the year’s end.

To help keep this unique event happening a call to action is going out now to every business that would like to be considered a Leading Light.

If you are interested please contact Jasmine on jasmine@ samesky.co.uk, or call 01273 571106 For more information, visit: www.samesky.co.uk

Legal and General to shed 600 jobs Frank le Duc One of Brighton and Hove’s biggest employers is preparing to shed 600 jobs.

Legal and General, the insurance company, aims at laying lay off about 10 per cent of the 6,000 staff in a division that has offices in Hove.

The company undertook a restructuring in July to create the Legal and General Assurance Society by merging its life and savings and annuities and protection divisions.

The new division is based in the City Park offices, near Hove Park - as well as in Kingswood, south London, in Birmingham,

and in Cardiff.

The company has not yet said exactly where the jobs will be lost; it is holding talks with the Unite trade union about the redundancies.

It said that it had started a formal consultation with employee representatives and Unite over potential redundancies.

“We aim to keep redundancies down to a minimum and provide redeployment in L&G where possible," it said.

“The potential redundancies are a result of combining and restructuring the business units in the new division.”

Staff were told about the redundancy proposals on Monday

Rodriguez returns with Machete Kills Machete Kills (15) Running time: 108 mins Director: Robert Rodriguez Starring: Danny Trejo, Alexa Vega, Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga

Machete Kills has its moments and is more fun than the disappointing original but it also outstays its welcome, overplays all its jokes and weirdly underuses its central character.

What’s it all about?

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, Machete Kills is the sequel to the 2010 hit, though it’s not too concerned with picking up where the previous one left off and immediately Gibson) to blow up Washington. kills off a key character from the Fortunately, help is at hand and first film in the opening sequence.

Machete receives valuable assistance After that, Machete (Danny Trejo) from undercover beauty queen Ms is summoned to Washington where San Antonio (Amber Heard) before the US President (Carlos Estevez, hooking up with underground aka Charlie Sheen) tasks him with operative Luz (Michelle Rodriguez, travelling to Mexico to track down reprising her role from the first dangerous drug kingpin Mendez film). However, Machete also has (Demian Bichir), who’s plotting with to contend with an angry brothel evil defence contractor Voz (Mel 1 27/9/13 madam (Sofia Love Brighton-1110:Layout 14:29Vergara) Page and 1 a dogged

hitman with multiple identities (Walton Goggins, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jnr and Lady Gaga as The Chameleon).

The Good Rodriguez’s rapid-fire, bring-’em-on, kill-’em-off approach to his cameoheavy supporting cast is frequently amusing, particularly when you realise that half of his cast have had

public disgrace issues, making you wonder if he got Gibson, Rodriguez, Sheen and Hudgens at a discount. Of the characters with more longevity, Rodriguez and Heard are a lot of fun and Bichir is good value as the split-personality kingpin (the film’s best joke is that only one of his personalities wants to blow up Washington) while Vergara is clearly enjoying herself as the machinegun-bra-equipped brothel madam (a gimmick stolen from 60s flick The 10th Victim) and a scene-stealing Estevez (Sheen’s birth name) is good value as the President.

The gore factor is a lot more fun this time round, with some amusingly inventive death sequences and some decent 3D effects, though there’s still a feeling that Rodriguez doesn’t quite

get his own joke, as the film doesn’t fully exploit the exploitation angle the way it should.

The Bad Trejo is solid as the grizzled hero, but, as with the first film, he is curiously under-used by the script – the characters all talk about what a legend he is, but we see nothing that suggests where that reputation might have come from, and if that’s meant to be part of the joke, then it backfires. Similarly, the film can’t quite sustain its 108 minute running time and runs out of steam before the end, frequently over-playing its jokes into the bargain (there’s also an unwelcome streak of misogyny that seems wholly unnecessary).

Worth seeing?

Machete Kills is a watchable sequel that delivers nicely in terms of gore and performances but isn’t quite as inventive, as trashy or as funny as it should have been. Also, note to filmmakers: making references to the likes of Justin Bieber will only ensure that your film is horribly dated within five years.

PLACES I EAT BRIGHTON With Claire Beveridge www.placesieatbrighton.com @PlacesIEatBtn

Sponsored by Sun Harvest

64 Degrees, 53 Meeting House Lane, Brighton BN1 1HB Website: www.64degrees.co.uk Twitter: @chef64degrees Telephone: 01273 770115

Inspiring dishes of high-quality food

Interviewing someone when you have nothing to go on but the name of their newly-opened restaurant is usually a very tough job. Luckily, upon meeting the owner/head chef of 64 Degrees, Michael Bremner, the conversation flowed naturally and he opened up about his first restaurant venture.

Brooding, bordering on shy, Michael is a handsome, strapping lad with broad shoulders and an even broader Scottish accent. Having lived in Brighton for 12 years, Michael has gained experience in a range of restaurants, notably Due South and Food for Friends where he was part of the team that won the Best Restaurant accolade in the 2012 Foodie Awards.

Speaking of working in a vegetarian restaurant, Michael’s business partner, Carla, adds: “It was a challenge for Michael.

Being Scottish, he was always

about meat, fish and game - and then he was put in front of a vegetarian restaurant.”

Agreeing with a head nod, Michael views his former position as helping him become a better chef.

“I’m massively experimental,” he says, when asked about his menu choices for 64 Degrees.

“The whole idea behind this place was to have interesting and decent food that you could have if you were a student or a high-roller... the menu reflects local produce and what I’m going to with that local produce is take something and add an Indian influence or an Asian influence or a British influence to it.”

With a simple, stripped-down menu created by Michael and his dedicated team of chefs, patrons can expect to graze on pigs’ cheeks, scallops and samphire, beetroot and goats cheese and salmon pastrami. “We are here to do something you can’t do at home,” Michael states with confidence.

“We’re doing small dishes to share; it’s about sitting down, getting multiple plates of things you want to try and having things to talk about,” Michael says, explaining the concept he’s labelled social dining.

Inviting myself and a friend back later that evening to experience 64 Degrees first hand, I informed Michael I couldn’t think of another Brighton restaurant that had me as excited to try their menu.

With little social media output and a halfbuilt website, 64 Degrees is relying on word of mouth, passing trade, and a sense of mystery to build an established clientele. Cleverly organised into clear and concise sections, 64 Degrees invites you to choose dishes from “meat, fish and veg” sections, while the miniature flip-board menus continue to reveal desserts and a smallyet-perfectly-formed drinks selection.

Starting with the Anno Samphire G&T (£6), I was informed this particular brand of gin is distilled by scientists in Kent. A unique Breaking

Bad-esque touch to 64’s spirits section.

Throughout the evening, we moved onto a fruity Spanish Albarino, charged by the glass at an incredibly reasonable £5.

Drinks aside, the food is what you really want to experience at 64 Degrees.

Sitting at the bar area, we watched intently as Michael and his team prepared inspiring dishes of high-quality food. Presented on granite and slate sharing plates, we gorged on stripped back, sashimi-like mackerel with coriander and coconut, gorgeously-creamy artichoke wraps with leek and malt, and crispy, robust pig cheeks with a woodland tartare.

Rounding off our meal with sticky toffee pudding and a delectable peanut butter brownie with droplets of cherry gel, it was one of those moments that makes you stop and say to each other “Wow!”.

Completing the evening were two rum-soaked gummy bears

sprinkled with lemon sherbet - a wickedly fantastic and boozy way to end our meal.

“Everything I do, I want to be the best at,” Michael said. And quite rightly so.

Visionary, experimental, conceptual and clean dining is what Michael and his team are about and they do this very well indeed. I highly advise you to grab a few friends, take an evening off, head down to Meeting House Lane, and experience social dining at its best.

Marmalade: Scrumptious cakes, luscious coffee, and filling sandwiches

Nestled away on the corner of Eastern Road and Church Place lies your new favourite café.

Marmalade is cosy yet spacious and ideal for whiling away autumn afternoons, glancing through steamy windows at the day going by.

Set up by long-term friends and hospitality staples, Tania and Louise, Marmalade is their newest venture. To them, Marmalade is about simple, accessible, easy food that can be enjoyed by all walks of life.

Expect lovingly-homemade quiches, pies, salads as well as sandwiches and pastries.

Speaking to the hard-working duo, their vision for Marmalade is about creating a space for people to enjoy healthy yet highquality food.

“Our afternoons are filled with prep, right up until the following day,” Louise said, emphasising the handmade

nature of Marmalade. Right down to the large, enticing and handwritten menu boards, a lot of Marmalade comes from the heart and talent of Tania and Louise.

If the homemade treats don’t take your fancy, indulge in Real Patisserie breads, pastries from Cocoa, and an array of bakes and cakes from across Brighton and Hove.

Offering a lovely 10% discount to the NHS staff close-by, Marmalade are already finding their niche in the saturated café mecca of Kemptown.

“I want to be there, I want to

make the cappuccino, I want to bake the quiche, I want to serve the customer and say ‘hello, how was that?’ and they say it was lovely and that is the element of what we wanted to do,” Tania says, spotlighting not only the commitment of the duo, but also the passion behind Marmalade.

The gorgeous space can also be used for private hire and functions upon request.

Pop up to Marmalade and while away an afternoon over scrumptious cakes, luscious coffee, and filling sandwiches.

Remember to say hello to Louise and Tania while you’re there, you’ll find them in the small

kitchenette planning tomorrows delicious quiches.

Attention girls of Brighton and Hove – Show U needs you dancing!

For the last 15 years "Show U" has worked with dancers and models in Denmark and performed shows for Baz Luhrmann - "The Moulin Rouge" gala show and tournament.

They have also organised the Hans Christian Andersen 200 Jubilee Show which toured around Scandinavia and accompanied singers and bands such as Aqua - Barbie girl, with dancers and styling. Show U has even provided 30 cheerleaders for the national football matches in Denmark and VIP shows for sponsors before and after matches.

For the new beginning in Brighton, Show U would like to train girls, who fancy dancing, costumes and show make up.

Show U’s first Brighton based performance will be Christmas themed. The aim is to get the girls ready for Christmas, for a few shows and promotional events.

Rehearsals will be during the school break from 28th October – 2nd November from 13.00-17.00 in Brighton. The cost will be £150 for all six days.

Show U has worked with many girls from the very beginning of their careers, and watched them become great in Theatres and on TV. As Show U are a show unit, they are working with lots of dance schools who perform

technical training. To get shows ready in time, organisers demand trained girls. That goes for choreography, costumes and make up as well as learning discipline.

To have respect for each other and show a good behaviour is a common thing. It all comes along when working as a team.

The more professional the girls become, the more they learn the balance between being a star and day to day schedules. Giving the audience a great show on the road, but at the same time waking up and continuing their school or work the day after. Discipline is a must to get a show ready. Show U has always been like a very large family, with solidarity, fun and high energy as well as a hard work.

Show U owner Diana Wøhler commented on the excitement leading up to the start of her Brighton launch: “It is going to be exciting to see how far we get with the girls coming for half term training. There will always be girls at different levels and that can be positive for the set up. Later there will be more shows to do, but one thing at the time - Christmas, I can’t wait!”

If you wish to be part of the fun and join the Brighton and Hove team (minimum age 13), please email to register - diana@showu.dk.

Horoscopes from Kimi 18th - 24th October

Aries 21 March – 20 April You take more of a leap than step up in your career. You are, quite rightly, recognized as a rising star. Not everyone though is happy to share in your good fortune, so be careful who you exchange confidences with.

As far as romance goes just ask the question, the answer may not be as bad as you anticipate!

Taurus 21 April – 21 May Well two are definitely tangoing this week. There is pleasure in the knowledge that your feelings are reciprocated and this could make for a highly charged romantic week.

But make sure you take care of your physical as well as emotional health or you may find your work performance a little lackluster and this may just be noticed!

Gemini 22 May – 21 June With new and unexpected projects you could find your career heading off

in a new direction. Approach these opportunities with caution, not bull in china shop mode, and things should go well. Time to put a little emotional distance between you and any current or potential partner. This is not the end but you may both benefit from some space.

Cancer 22 June – 22 July Again it’s a good week for the gym but this time you don’t need it as a stress buster. You’ve just had too many working lunches of late, time to work them off. You may be dealing with someone hot headed or at least a little argumentative this week, keep your cool. Remember to err is human to forgive sublime!

Leo 23 July – 22 Aug Something physical is in need of a general overhaul or spot of maintenance. Shirking this duty could turn out to be a costly at a later date. That done you can focus on you. Give yourself a pamper session

or a well earned day to yourself.

Sometimes there is just no pleasing some people. Top tip don’t try this week!!

Virgo 23 Aug – 23 Sept The focus will be on the home and familial relationships. Plain speaking may be called for. A word of caution there is a difference between openness and tactlessness. This week should bring greater clarity to an issue that’s occupied your mind for some time. Remember we don’t always get what we want but we often get what we need!

Libra 24 Sept – 23 Oct This week is full of temptation and it comes in many guises. Resist all.

At work don’t throw your toys out of the pram. There may be a valid reason for someone questioning your actions. Don’t max out those credit cards and as far as family and friends are concerned sit on the fence. It’s the best place right now!

Scorpio 24 Oct – 22 Nov You gain credit for bringing about the impossible this week by salvaging that seemingly unsalvageable project. You can’t do this alone you will need the help of colleagues. Good job that you have all those diplomacy skills at your finger tips. Use those tactics at home and you may be seen as manipulative. Be direct and you will avoid conflict.

Sagittarius 23 Nov – 21 Dec Financial matters abound this week.

You could be discussing a partnership, property purchase, investments or simply looking at a budget forecast. If you have done your homework, have faith in yourself and be bold in your decision making. A new image would be good to match your mood. But avoid 80s power dressing if you want to be taken seriously!

Capricorn 22 Dec – 20 Jan You could be heading up a new group; this may be a social project rather than a

career one. Your skills as a team leader will be called into play and you may gain kudos as well as satisfaction from the enterprise. Be careful around the home and car this week as accidents can happen. Keep spare keys at hand!

Aquarius 21 Jan – 19 Feb You may have a moment of epiphany this week; at the very least you will be seeing things more clearly. Some big decisions will have to be made and some big changes may ensue. It would not be a good idea to act on this knowledge right now. You need time to reflect and plan before you jump ship!

Pisces 20 Feb – 20 March A career opportunity opens up but this could be hampered by detractors. Don’t let petty jealousies mar your progress.

You are a logistic thinker and have good administrative and interpersonal skills.

Bring these to bear, don’t get involved in heated debate and you will win the day and the job! Domestically a loved one is in need of some TLC!

Ferrari apprentices start living the dream

Enzo Ferrari, the eponymous founder of the fabled Prancing Horse, once said that “A Ferrari is a dream. For most, it will remain a dream – except for those lucky few.” The 11 new teenagers who started their 3-year Ferrari Apprenticeship are indeed “those lucky few”.

Competition for a place on the Ferrari Apprenticeship scheme was understandably fierce, with over 1100 applicants from school-leavers who dreamed of working for the famous Italian Prancing Horse. The new Apprentices will be employed at Ferrari dealerships throughout the UK, and will complete 24 weeks of training at Ferrari North Europe’s head office as part of their 3-year apprenticeship programme.

Matteo Torre, Regional Manager Ferrari North Europe, commented: “We are delighted to welcome the new Apprentices to Ferrari as well as congratulate the 4 graduating Apprentices as they begin their career as fully-qualified Ferrari technicians. We have been overwhelmed by the interest in this programme. This project is part of the Ferrari philosophy of investing

in young talent and we are proud to continue this philosophy through the Ferrari North Europe Apprentice Programme and to ensure that the Ferrari dealer network has a continual supply of high quality, knowledgeable and expertly trained apprentices who will hopefully become the Ferrari technicians of the future.”

During the 3 year programme, the Apprentices will receive intensive training on diagnostic and mechanical equipment required to service and maintain the current range of Ferrari models such as the Ferrari California, 458 Italia, F12berlinetta and the flagship FF. The Apprentices will also have access to other models from Ferrari’s recent past, including the F430 Coupe and 612 Scaglietti, to ensure they have the necessary skills to confidently service the cars they are most likely to see in the workshop at their respective dealerships.

Demonstrating the success of the programme, the 4 graduating Apprentices have all been employed full-time as fullyqualified Ferrari Technicians

Motorists install cameras to combat crash for cash claims

Motorists are installing video cameras in their cars to combat ‘crash for cash’ fraud claims.

The devices, known as ‘dashcams, record the view through the windscreen and capture events before, during and after a collision.

The recorded footage can also be used by defendants against accusations of lane-hogging or tailgating on motorways following new fixed penalty legislation which came into force in August.‎ Halfords is introducing new incar camera products in response to this growing demand - making the technology that has been widely used by the emergency services for many years accessible to all motoristswho want to film their journeys for protection.

The Insurance Fraud Bureau estimates around 30,000 ‘crash for cash’ incidents take place every year, costing insurers around £350 million and pushing up premiums for honest, innocent drivers by

around £44 each.

A new tactic that is being used by increasingly bold frausters has also emerged this year. They flash their headlights to give victims the impression they are being allowed to join a main road but then accelerate in order to hit the unsuspecting driver side-on.

Halfords in-car technology manager Alec James said: “Following an incident people are often reluctant to admit guilt and risk losing their no claims discount*. In addition, the surge in fraudulent so-called ‘crash for cash’ claims is causing genuine concern among innocent drivers.

“The range of recording devices we now offer means that we can provide drivers with the means to produce evidence of how an incident occurred and who is at fault should the need arise.”

The new in-car cameras are available in Halfords stores as well as halfords.com.

in the Official Dealer network.

However, completing the Ferrari Apprentice programme is not the end of their training regime with Ferrari. In fact, Ferrari has one of the highest rates of training days per employee of any automotive brand, particularly for technicians, due to the very complex, unique and highly-advanced technology which is featured on the current product range – much of which has

been developed through Ferrari’s experiences in F1. This means these Ferrari Apprentices – now Ferrari Technicians – will continue to receive on-going training at Ferrari North Europe, as part of a structured career development path for their entire career – as we constantly need to train technicians on new processes, methods and technology every time we introduce a new car.

The Ferrari North Europe Apprentice Programme is open to all school leavers aged 16 or over, and includes in-house and in-dealer training for 3 years, with 24 weeks of specific training at Ferrari North Europe’s head office during the 3 year programme.

Those interested in applying for the September 2014 intake should register their interest at ferrariapprenticetraining.co.uk.

Night-time curfews not the answer for young drivers says The Co-op Night-time restrictions on young drivers should not be part of the solution to increase safety on Britain's roads says The Cooperative Insurance.

Transport Research Laboratory has made a series of recommendations for new drivers which includes night-time curfews. These come ahead of an imminent Government Green Paper on how to improve young driver safety.

The Co-operative would support the introduction of a Graduated Driver Licencing system which would expose novice drivers to a greater number of driving experiences to prepare them for life on the roads.

However, The Co-operative Insurance believes enforcing a night-time curfew as part of the GDL is not the answer.

James Hillon, Director of General Insurance, said: "We fully support the aim of making the roads safer for everyone, but believe that educating novice young drivers will be more effective than imposing such a restriction.

"We recognise that too many young drivers are involved in road accidents, and that their

premiums are higher as a result, but believe these issues can be better tackled by encouraging them to drive safely.

"In 2011, we introduced telematics insurance for young drivers where a smart box is installed in a car. The scheme has helped cut accident rates by a fifth by helping to inform young people how to improve their driving and rewarding responsible driving with lower premiums."

In addition to the significant reduction in accidents, claims for the most serious type of ‘catastrophic' accident are 30% lower. The scheme calculates premiums on how the individual drives - not on how their general age group drives - and has helped lower the average young driver premium by over £400.

James added: "Our experience with telematics shows that the technology can inform young people how to improve their driving, and importantly, rewards good driving with lower premiums.

"In the case of night-time curfews, young drivers may have a real need to drive at night, such as for work, and we're

concerned that curfews would have unintended impacts on their lives. Telematics prices insurance on driving behaviour, which includes the time they drive, so if they drive when accidents are more likely to occur the premium will reflect this.

"Passing your driving test and getting a car is an important liberating step for young people.

We believe most take their responsibilities as a driver seriously and the aim should be in helping them to drive safely."

The Co-operative Insurance Young Driver scheme uses a Smart Box installed in a car and takes the average of 4 factors: speed, acceleration/braking, cornering and time of day, from which young drivers achieve a score that will get them a discount providing that they drive safely.

Young drivers with The Cooperative Insurance do not face a penalty charge for driving at night but the risk will be reflected in the premium.

Customers can earn 30% of their initial premium back in discounts if they achieve a top score of five for their overall driving performance.

Oscar’s new arrival should make Yeovil trip more comfortable Leroy Lita will be the main talking point ahead of Brighton’s match with Yeovil Town tomorrow (Saturday) – but the striker is likely to start on the bench.

The striker’s arrival at The Amex earlier this week provided a welcome boost to supporters amid growing concerns the Albion would struggle to secure a temporary striker by the end of the international break.

If, as expected, the club receive international clearance from the Welsh FA, the one-time Reading goal-grabber should find himself on the Seagulls’ bench – with Ashley Barnes favourite to continue in the central striking role until Lita can prove his match fitness.

Oscar Garcia’s side have struggled in front of goal in recent weeks, with the Seagulls managing just a goal a game so far this season. That is the same as rock bottom Barnsley and just half a dozen of the Albion’s Championship rivals have registered fewer goals. Oscar will be hoping the signing of Lita will improve his attacking fortunes and an average of just three shots on target a game this season suggest it is the area most in need of addressing.

Brighton have struggled to open up defences in the absence of chief-creative force Andrea Orlandi and almost half the side’s efforts at goal have come from outside their opponents penalty box.

As I look to Albion’s trip to Yeovil this weekend it was interesting to see Gary Johnson is the 25th (out of 92) longest serving manager at 1 year and 281 days (as of Saturday). Only 7 managers have more than 3 years at the helm of any club, only 3 more than 4 years.

Yeovil Huish Park Stadium Saturday, October 19 Kick-off: 3pm

Lita loan deal will help Oscar cope with injury-hit attacking options Brighton fans heading to Yeovil tomorrow will do so boosted by the news the Albion have finally managed to add a loan striker to Oscar Garcia’s roster.

The Amex faithful had begun getting restless with the lack of movement into the club since the loan window opened – with a suspension and then injury to top goal threat Leo Ulloa leaving the Albion with just one fit first team striker.

Thankfully though, a new attacking recruit arrived on Wednesday in the form of experienced goal-getting Leroy Lita who signed on temporary deal from Premier League Swansea City. Brighton are awaiting international clearance for the 28-year-old former England Under 21 international.

If, as expected, the Albion are given the green-light by the Welsh FA, Lita is certain to be involved in tomorrow’s trip to Somerset.

The Seagulls have made no secret of their desire to sign at least one striker during the recent international break but had been left frustrated after original target John Obika suffered a recurrence of an earlier injury – ruling out a loan deal from parent club Tottenham at least for the time being.

Assistant manager Nathan

Jones set supporters tongues wagging with a recent trip to Barcelona during which he watched – and tweeted from - a Barca B game, while Cardiff City’s Rudy Gestede was one of a host of players linked with a loan move to The Amex.

In fact, Lita’s deal was kept impressively quiet by the Albion, with the Wednesday afternoon announcement coming as a pleasant surprise to supporters who had begun to doubt whether any new recruits would arrive in time to feature this weekend.

Lita himself appears to have reassessed his options after reports during pre-season suggested he had turned down a number of Championship clubs in favour of awaiting interest from within the top flight.

A successful spell on loan at Sheffield Wednesday at the tail end of last season helped the Yorkshire outfit escape relegation – with Lita registering half a dozen vital goals in his 17 league outings for The Owls.

Leo Ulloa reassures Albion fans he is settled in Brighton amid rumours former boss Gus Poyet could try and tempt the striker with a January bid.

“I’m really happy here, my family are happy and we love the city. I feel that people want me here and that is the most important thing for a player.

temporary spell, this time at Birmingham City, saw the striker find the net three times in ten league matches but he has managed just two league goals from 16 league appearances for Swansea City since signing for the South Wales team in 2011 for around £1.75million.

Observers would have to go back to his time at Bristol City (31 goals in 85 league appearances between 2002 and 2005), Reading (20 goals in 84 league matches between 2005 and 2009) and latterly Middlesbrough (20 in 78 between 2009 and 2011) for Lita’s most impressive form but the hope is that the once sought after striker can recapture his form during his time on the south coast.

His deal runs initially until January 1.
