hanover Welcome to The Hanover Directory

There is so much going on in May that it’s difficult to fit everything into one magazine! We have the Brighton Festival and Fringe, as well as the Artists Open Houses, with many events in and around Hanover, not to forget the annual Cats of Hanover Portrait Exhibition in the Dover Castle. We also have a feature by David Gibson on Sarah McCarthy, who is the chair of the new Phoenix Community Association, and Tom Kiss has good news of more electric vehicle chargers coming to Hanover. Remember there are local council elections on Thursday 2nd May and we may also be taking part in the European Parliament elections on 23rd May. Have a great month!

A lunar model will light up Queen’s Park; photo by Ed Simmons

This concert includes Alwyn’s Naiades, Toward the Sea by Takemitsu and Bax’s Sonata for Flute and Harp. (£10, Thurs 9 May, 1pm, St Nicholas Church, Church Street, BN1 3LJ.) Marking 50 years since the first moon landings, Brighton will have its very own moon with artist Luke Jerram’s realistic illuminated lunar model lighting up the sky above Queen’s Park. The model is seven metres in diameter and features mind-boggling detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. Museum of the Moon’s blend of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround-sound composition created by award-winning composer Dan Jones will offer a unique experience to all. (Free, Fri 17 May, 6pm to Mon 20 May, 12pm.)

Another free event in Queen’s Park is Ghost Caribou, a night-time street act by Thingumajig Theatre. Giant illuminated creatures, part caribou, part spirit, roam a mystical world after dark, accompanied by a wild herdsperson. As they gather a crowd, they clear a space to perform their otherworldly ceremony. (Free, Sat 18 May, 4.30pm walkabout, 9pm full show.)

At the Phoenix Gallery (10-14 Waterloo Place) you can see Iron Men, an exhibition of photographs by Fototala King Massassy, who records the vibrant everyday life of Bamako, the capital of Mali, with genuine empathy. (Free, Sat 4 – Sun 26 May, 11am-5pm, closed Mon & Tues.) Brighton Festival Ticket Office: 01273 709709 Website: brightonfestival.org.

David Gibson meets the chair of the new Phoenix Community Association...

Sarah Mc Carthy...Community Activist

Sarah was born in Brighton. Her father was director of the Museum of Labour History in London’s East End and not surprisingly she grew up with a heightened sense of class consciousness and the divisions inherent in a class-based society. She became a mother at 20. Having lived in insecure rented housing and even at times on friends’ sofas, desperate for a stable home, she got involved with the squatting movement, moving in 1994 into empty dwellings in Phoenix Place. As a parent with a young child she experienced great support and sense of community amongst the squatters. The squatters successfully campaigned for their squatted homes to become Housing Association (initially by the Chichester Diocesan Housing Association) and for social housing to be provided by what became the Phoenix estate. I met Sarah a couple of years ago to organise a residents’ survey. After some initial cynicism about whether anyone will listen, she threw herself into meetings and encouraged her neighbours to join in. Showing great persistence and determination she

Sarah and two other members of the community association painting over graffiti

was soon elected as the chair of the Phoenix Community Association and is building a community of residents coming together to improve the estate and forge a stronger community spirit. The association is giving social tenants a voice and, by agreeing an action plan with the landlord, Hyde and the council residents are beginning to discover their collective power to shape their area. It feels a bit like there is a strong desire to rekindle the sense of support and community along with the campaigning successes of the early squatting years. The community association is impressively inclusive. As Sarah puts it, she values “getting people together who would normally be in a group and seeing barriers come down and empathy develop”. Sarah adds that, since launching as a group, “As a community we have built a partnership with the Phoenix Gallery to involve youngsters in a mural project and worked with GoodGym to paint over hundreds of yards of graffiti that was bringing the area down. We have started regular walkabouts with the landlord Hyde, developed plans to improve IT access at the community centre, won money to improve a neglected ball games area, improved access to the food bank, organised community socials and progressed plans for a community garden/allotment. “It’s really great to see people coming together and beginning to realise how much difference we can make together.” David Gibson

hanover This year there are nine Artists Open Houses in Hanover...

Hanover Arts Trail

This May come and discover the wealth of artists and makers producing incredible work right on your doorstep. There are nine Artists Open Houses on the Hanover Arts Trail this year, including three exciting new venues. Many of the spaces will be open every weekend in May for you to browse and buy (check individual listings for opening dates and times). These are mainly private homes where artists and makers hide away the rest of the year, working in attics, garden studios and on kitchen tables. Then along comes May, the house gets tidied and the doors are opened, ready to show you some rare delights from the local artistic community. This is a unique opportunity to buy directly from the artists. Not only does this mean you may pick up a great bargain, it also means you get to meet the people behind the work and find out what inspires them and their creative process. You may even spot a future art star as the winners of our Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drawing Competition are showcased alongside our more established artists.

Locations for electric vehicle chargers proposed The Hanover Trail 2019 Phoenix Brighton 10-14 Waterloo Place www.phoenixbrighton.org 17th May 18:00-21:00, 18th-19th May 11:00-17:00

The proposed locations for over 20 lamp-post chargers in Hanover & Elm Grove have been detailed by the council. They form part of the council's citywide deployment of over 200 lamp-post chargers for electric vehicles, hitting the streets later this year.

Studio 93a 93a Islingword Road Every weekend in May, 10:00-17:00

The proposed locations in Hanover include: Albion Hill, Belgrave Street, Carlyle Street, Elm Grove, Ewart Street, Franklin Road, Freshfield Street, Hampden Road, Hartington Road, Luther Street, Queen's Park Road, Richmond Street, St Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terrace, Tarner Road and Wellington Road. These compact new chargers are easily installed onto existing lamp-posts, allowing residents in Hanover & Elm Grove to charge their vehicles whilst they are sat idle. This should provide reassurance for anyone hoping to ditch their fossil fuel cars and move towards cleaner alternatives as we work together to tackle climate change and improve inner city air quality. These chargers will be in addition to the ones already available on Islingword Road and Bernard Place, where electric vehicle owners can pay ÂŁ7.85 a month for unlimited charging with renewable electricity on the Polar Network (polar-network.com). To find out more and see a complete map of the proposed locations across the city, visit: electricbrighton. com/planned

hanover Your monthly update from the Hanover Community Association...

Hanover Community

HCA is the small charity that manages the Hanover Cen live locally. We always welcome your feedback and sug and have comments, compliments or complaints. Welcome to YOUR community centre! Many of you reading this visit the community centre for one reason or another; you might attend a class or group yourself, or take your children to an activity session. That’s great because it supports the teachers and organisers to keep the classes and events running, which in turn helps us to keep the centre busy and operating. So how about those of you who don’t use the centre? We would love to know what we can do to entice you through the door! The important word in the heading is YOUR – it is a centre for all those in Hanover and we would really welcome some feedback as to what you would like to see happening here.

hanover An update on local parking schemes...

Residents’ parking schemes update... Over the last few months the council have been talking to residents and businesses in the Elm Grove, Hanover and St Luke’s areas about how their parking schemes are working and whether they would like to change the hours and/or days of operation. As a result, some changes were put to the council’s Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee on 19th March. 70% of respondents in the St Luke’s area light touch scheme (Zone U) supported joining the neighbouring Queen’s Park zone (Zone C), which currently operates a full scheme from 9am to 8pm seven days a week. Councillors agreed to proceed with changing roads in Zone U into Zone C from 1 June 2019.

A review was carried out at the end of last year of the two parking zones in the Hanover & Elm Grove area (Zone S & V) which have been operating for more than a year. The Zone S ‘light touch’ scheme operates Monday to Friday, 11am-midday and 6-7pm. A quarter of residents in the area responded to the consultation, with just over 60% in support of keeping the scheme hours as they are. Some residents in a small number of streets known as the ‘top triangle’ (Arnold Street, Baxter Street, Carlyle Street, Cromwell Street, Lynton Street and part of Queen’s Park Road) supported further consultation to find out whether they would like to join the Zone V scheme. The committee agreed to consult this top triangle area on joining Zone V (full scheme) with a detailed design. Some residents commented about speeding on one-way streets, and there will be an opportunity to outline these issues in more detail in the next consultation. Another problem raised was about pavement parking on Elm Grove. Brighton & Hove City Council are lobbying the Government for pavement parking powers similar to those in London.

Freshfield Street and Queen’s Park Rise are currently in the light touch Zone S, but when roads in Zone U join Zone C, they will be surrounded by roads with parking enforcement from 9am to 8pm. The committee agreed that an initial consultation be undertaken with residents in these two roads to see whether they too would like to join the Queen’s Park scheme in Zone C or remain in Zone S.

FRIDAYS (term time)

A Hanover-based choir who like to sing in the pub...!

Local Vocal...

“Nothing beats a good sing EXCEPT singing in a local pub with a great group of people, an inspiring choir leader and a large glass of red wine in one hand!” Katie – Local Vocal Local Vocal love their choir so much, they decided recently to spread the love with a Hanover pub crawl.

Kicking off in the safety of The Hanover, their regular venue, they then set off down the hill for their first solo evening gig. Would the regulars at The Constant Service avoid eye contact and treat them like buskers on the tube? Away from diners having a peaceful meal, they launched straight into “One Day Like This”. Not only did the punters love it, they joined in! One commented, “They sounded amazing. I had a real sense of euphoria and raised hairs on my neck.” Bolstered by the compliments and the buzz of audience participation, they followed with “When Doves Cry”. A Prince fan said she was moved to hear the song broken down into harmonies. After a finale of Sweet Dreams, buoyed by Dutch courage and acclaim they chatted down the hill to The Dover Castle.

Nerves set in again. Undeterred they opened with “Tender” by Blur, and were surprised by the warm, positive reaction.

Reaching the Village, slightly worse for wear, they managed to harmonise “Chasing Cars”, and “Africa” by Toto. A passing dog walker came in to listen saying she loved singing, but didn’t have the singing ability to join in. However, this choir has varying abilities and there are no auditions. Over time, by singing regularly, members find their singing improves, often to the relief of their families!

Choirs are growing in popularity. Singing can reportedly release endorphins, reduce stress, increase lung capacity and lower blood pressure. With Local Vocal, it’s a very sociable way to meet neighbours. Their newest member, Tony, loved the warm inclusive welcome he received by all and particularly from the charismatic choir leader, Aneesa Chaudhry. This busy lady is a vocal coach, a talented jazz singer and leads two other choirs. Local Vocal is her only choir who sing with glass in hand though. It seems pretty unique:

“This is the BEST pub choir I’ve ever seen! Actually, it’s the only pub choir I’ve ever seen. No matter how tired I am when I arrive, I always feel energised when I go home.” Katherine – Local Vocal – working mum of three The Local Vocal meet during term time at The Hanover on Thursdays at 8pm; find them on Facebook.
