WE’VE MADE IT! THE LIVING WAGE CENTURY EXCLUSIVE by Greg Hadfield @GregHadfield More than 100 companies have signed up to the Living Wage campaign in Brighton and Hove. The remarkable news comes as the country prepares to mark National Living Wage week. With a flurry of activity over the last month there have been some notable businesses sign up to support the belief that paying the Living Wage of £7.45 per hour is good for our city and the people who work in it. The latest include City College, Don’t Believe The Hype, Nixon McInnes, Impact Initiatives, R&M Scaffolding, Infinity Foods, Quick HR, We are Tilt Ltd, GBCPR Limited, and Public-i Group Ltd,
The 100th was Brighton Peace & Environment Centre (BPEC) followed by Rethink Events Ltd and the local Unison branch. That is a total of 102 to date. Elona Hoover, a BPEC trustee, said “We are delighted to be the 100th signatory of the local Living Wage campaign. This is evidence that we join a growing voice of employers that are taking a first step in recognising the value of peoples’ work, and the ethical imperative of enabling all those employed in our area to take part in our local economy.” Tracey Allen, of SEA PR Consultancy, which runs the campaign on behalf of Brighton
Chamber of Commerce, said: “I am so encouraged that more than 100 businesses have taken the time to sign up to the campaign and show how much they support people earning a decent wage in this city.” Today, Brighton & Hove Independent - media partner for the campaign - publishes an open letter from the local leaders of the three main political parties in support of the campaign.

Keeping our history and heritage safe by Frank Le Duc @BHcitynews
It cost £19 million. But its value - its richness as a community resource - is too great to be measured only in cash. The Keep - formally opened yesterday by the Queen - is the new home to the official archives and historical records of Brighton and Hove, and of East Sussex. The old county archive at The Maltings in Lewes had been declared not fit for purpose. Our heritage was at risk. So work began six years ago on designing and building somewhere suitable for hundreds of thousands of documents, some dating as far back as 900 years. Planning permission to build the new premises was granted almost three years ago. This month, The Keep opens to the public. It houses not only the county archive, but also about 350,000 items from the Royal Pavilion and Museums - as well as archives from Sussex University. These include the Mass Observation social history records and manuscripts by two writers, Rudyard Kipling and Virginia Woolf. The Keep may house old parchments and historical papers on its six miles of shelves, but its design and

technology are supremely modern. Temperature and humidity controls are crucial to preserve our past. The documents inside include written records detailing important events, the lives of individuals and the places around us. There are maps, plans and drawings, prints, photographs and films. Among the items being transferred with care from the Brighton History Centre are glass-plate negatives and lantern slides, oral history recordings and topographical prints, newspapers, microfilms, and rare books. The library of the Sussex Family History Group will also be based at The Keep, which will become the organisation’s headquarters. The group aims to encourage people to study family history and genealogy, and to preserve and publish relevant documents.
East Sussex County Council has led the project with the support of Brighton and Hove Council and Sussex University. The site - at Woollard’s Field in Falmer, boasts excellent visitor facilities that will cater not just for the public, but also for visits by schools and voluntary organisations, societies and similar groups. The Keep’s lecture room can hold about 150 people. And few would doubt that the 115 reading-room seats in the new building will be in demand, keeping about 35 staff busy. Some of those who previously used the Brighton History Centre campaigned against its closure as it made way for The Keep. The council has said that it would maintain a facility for local and family history study at the Jubilee Library, in Brighton, in addition to the facilities provided at other local libraries.

Support our local businesses on UK’s first Small Business Saturday Jason Kitcat @ jasonkitcat
I was delighted that the joint work between the city council and business groups for “Small Business Saturday” attracted cross-party support. Small Business Saturday is an initiative that began in United States in 2010 as a way of raising awareness of the benefits of small businesses. Across the country, promotions take place to encourage people to buy from and do business with - small firms in their area; importantly, it helps these businesses build up a support
base of new regular customers. The American scheme has been hugely successful, becoming one of the most popular shopping days of the year. It is estimated that the American Small Business Saturday event in 2012 saw $5.5bn being spent with small businesses across the
and we signed up to participate in early September. Since then the council has been working with business groups in the city to develop a programme for the day and the run-up to it. There are number of things in the pipeline, including raising awareness of the new business discount we are introducing for small Money spent with businesses moving into local businesses is money long-term empty properties. also running that is then reinvested in aWe’re number of focused the local community” support sessions for small businesses as part of the country. “Ride the Wave” programme, This year sees the first year helping businesses to weather that the initiative is being the recession.

Almost 3,000 tenants owe total of £839,000 by Frank Le Duc @BHcitynews
A quarter of all council tenants in Brighton and Hove - nearly 3,000 people - are in arrears with rent and owe a total of £839,000. The highest number – nearly 45% of those inarrears - owe up to £99, with about 40% owing between £100 and £499. Ododo Dafe, the city council’s head of customer access and business improvement, disclosed a small number of tenants owed more than £2,000. She told the council’s housing management consultative committee that the outstanding debt had risen 31% from the end of March. Ms Dafe said the council’s housing income management team collected £47.6 million in rents due - more than 98%. The amount left outstanding was £644,000 (1.34% of the total). A team of seven officers
contacted tenants as soon as they fell behind with their rent. While the council served notice of seeking possession, to protect its interests, it had a court team of five officers working with tenants to try to avoid evictions. The city has 815 council tenants affected by the government’s under-occupancy charge - branded a “bedroom tax” by opponents - which came into effect in April. Of these, 594 were in arrears with their rent, with 342 of them having fallen behind since the welfare reform took effect. The 594 tenants owe a total of £138,000 – or 16% of the total rent arrears - and 101 of them have been served with a notice of seeking possession. Most of those - 79 of them - have been served with a notice of seeking possession since April. Frank le Duc is the founder and editor of Brighton and Hove News.

Magnus Volk was one of this city’s great men. A 19th-century electrical pioneer, he first lit his own house on Dyke Road and then the Royal Pavilion with electricity and also brought the first telephone line to the city. If Brighton’s burgeoning digital industry needs a patron saint, he is surely the perfect choice. And yet the monument that stands to this great man has an uncertain future. In 1883, Volk opened the world’s first electric railway - and, ever since, the charming little trains have trundled back and forth along Madeira Drive. Volk also created the magnificent “Daddy Long Legs” seashore railway that stretched from Kemptown to Rottingdean and ran for five years at the turn of the 20th century. With tracks on the seabed, the carriages on stilts travelled at high and low tide. Sadly, though, the project was too ambitious and failed. The Volk’s Railway is already crumbling. The sheds are in a sorry state and supported by scaffolding. A £1.47m lottery application that would have paid for solar-panel palm trees to power trains was rejected in January. Another application has gone in and, it is hoped, will be successful. But what if it isn’t? This city doesn’t have an exemplary record when it comes to preserving the best of our precious Victorian heritage.

Of course, bad luck - and, to get the people involved if you believe the saloon-bar chatter, foul-play - can be blamed, too. But the fact remains that the West Pier will never now be resurrected. Even the attempts to replace it with the i360 have faltered. While some work has started, it’s still not clear whether the 183-metre observation tower will ever be built despite a promised £15m loan from the city council. But it doesn’t have to be like this.

We are within our rights to question beliefs of immigrants Jean Calder @JeanCalder101
British life is bounded by rules and convention and I’m aware that, when I write, I sometimes break them. In a thoughtful recent letter (Page 11, October 18), Teresa Lipson criticised me for calling Ed Miliband a “son of elite immigrant intellectuals with little historic connection to this country”. She said this could encourage “racist invective” implying “a lack of loyalty” to the “adopted country.” My comment was made in a response to the Daily Mail’s attack on Ed Miliband’s father, questioning his loyalty to Britain. As I said then, I believe Paul Dacre, the newspaper’s editor, was wrong to attack his father. He was right, however, to question Miliband himself on his political beliefs - and his family background. A liberal convention has developed that we may not question immigrants on issues of background, belief and loyalty. I disagree. I disagree precisely because I am an immigrant, born of immigrant parents and married to another immigrant, one who miserably fails Norman Tebbit’s “cricket test”. The truth is that we immigrants are often deeply conflicted in our national loyalties, especially when we have been forced to leave a country in which we

might otherwise have wished to remain. The fact that we may work very hard and contribute to society does not alter this. Another truth is that immigrants, like the indigenous population, are not all alike. Some come committed to make a contribution, others to take what they can get. Some deeply admire the best of Britain’s democratic traditions and seek to uphold them. Others despise and seek to undermine them. A few asylumseekers are themselves abusers and war criminals. It’s not racist to say so. It’s the truth. We are taught to value “diversity” and “difference” and this is a good thing, but some commonality of belief is essential if a community or
their beliefs and willing to fight for them. This is not a problem if the ideas are based on equality, justice and human rights. It’s a huge problem if they’re not. Britain currently has, for example, a significant minority of people - some immigrants and others second- and thirdgeneration “settlers” - who are not committed to these principles and have not assimilated (or, in the case of many women, been permitted to assimilate) to British culture. They have an ideological commitment to set up a different sort of Islamic state - one which would among other things deny women, gay people and nonMuslims equal rights. In support of these aims, many hundreds of Islamists have already taken British intellectuals fail up arms against the British state and its to understand the extent citizens - supported people from other cultures by many more who support the antiare passionate in beliefs” democratic principles for which they fight. nation is to flourish.

Immigrants, like the indigenous population, are not all alike neighbourhoods, bullying, abusing and sometimes assaulting women and gay men In the wake of appeasement, other bigotries and abuses flourish, from the child “exorcisms” of fundamentalist Christianity and witchcraft, to a functioning caste system, to polygamy, child marriage, and female genital mutilation. In this dangerous situation, it is vital that democrats ask hard questions. If they don’t, they leave the field open to fascism of one kind or another. I came to England from South Africa in 1972 at the height of apartheid. Whites who left at that time were invariably people who rejected apartheid or refused to fight in South Africa’s border wars. Despite this, I was regularly questioned about my political beliefs and racial attitudes. I didn’t mind. I fully
understood why British liberals would want to check I was not about to promote racist attitudes in their country. Later, when I became a Catholic, I was closely questioned about my attitudes to abortion and the Pope. I accepted this - though it troubled me that questions often came in a context of entrenched anti-catholic prejudice. If liberal hypocrisies concerned me then, what stuns me now is that such questions are simply not asked. Yet, in a democracy, it is vital to ensure that all citizens know their rights and obligations - and that politicians and public servants are committed to equal rights and democratic values. We should never step back from our duty to inquire and question. This is not racism or xenophobia or even bad manners. It is a moral obligation.

The decline and fall of The Argus (Part II) Exclusive by Greg
The full extent of the decline of The Argus - the once-great newspaper for Brighton and Hove - has been exposed in the latest readership data. The data reveals that fewer than 6,000 copies of the newspaper are sold within the city boundaries. Indeed, there are only four areas where more than 1,000 copies are sold: Brighton (3,473), Hove (2,160), Worthing (2,108), Shoreham and Portslade (1,237). Out of 43 towns and villages, there are 14 where the Argus - rebranded a “Sussex” newspaper - sells fewer than 100 copies: Arundel (population 11,413) 65; Pulborough Rural (pop 21,413) 63; Horley (pop 25,275) 59; Hailsham (pop 23,345) 53; Polegate (pop 9,883) 53; Heathfield (pop 13,534) 41; Chichester (pop 26,807) 36; Billingshurst (pop 11,726) 29; Chichester Rural (pop 39,495) 21; Robertsbridge Burwash (pop 8,604) 20; Battle (pop 10,559) 16; Midhurst (pop 7,866) 10; Mayfield (pop 2,997) 5; Petworth (pop 5,725) 2.
The data, from the highlyregarded and independent Joint Industry Committee for Regional Media Research (JICREG) - was based on an Argus circulation of 16,622, as in the six months to June. In June, the circulation was 15,787. In fact, the circulation has now reportedly fallen below 15,000 - suggesting that its sales in Brighton and Hove could have dropped below 5,000. Despite the latest data, the Argus continues to advertise JICREG data from May 2013 (see picture), claiming it “reaches” a combined print and web audience of 117,652. In August, Brighton & Hove Independent reported the Argus - which used to sell 100,000 copies a day - was quitting its city headquarters. The “For Sale” boards remain outside its offices, opposite Asda, on Hollingbury Industrial Estate. Are you one of the two people in Petworth who still reads The Argus, we would like to hear from you: news@ brightonandhoveindependent.
The Book Doctor Isabel’s Skin
By Peter Benson It’s that time of year. Fog. Rain. Falling leaves.
But the moment he arrives in the small village of Ashbrittle, a sense of dread takes him over. And he’s quite right, too.
Time to stare at the sea frets rolling in across the pebbles. Muddy shoes and an unquenchable thirst for a bit of old-fashioned gothic. This book fits the bill perfectly.
When he catches a glimpse of a screaming woman who is being kept prisoner, the horror of his situation descends like a dark veil. Gradually, the secrets are revealed to us of her plight, and slowly, the full horror is revealed in all its fascinating detail.
A quiet man is David Morris. A book-valuer by profession for a London auction house, travelling every day by omnibus to his office in the Strand. He’s asked to take a trip to rural Somerset to value the library of the recentlydeceased and wonderfullynamed Lord Buff-Orpington. He sees this of course, as a break from the ordinary, a chance for a little travelling adventure (when it was, indeed, quite an adventure to get to Somerset in under one day)
This is a glorious example of a murder mystery in the great Edwardian tradition. I suggest you enjoy it with a cup of Earl Grey by a log fire. But don’t sit with your back to the door. You never quite know who will walk in behind you.

An Independent View
City Deal is a big deal for us all We can all be forgiven for not knowing - or caring - more about the government’s “City Deal” policy. Yet when Jason Kitcat, the Green Party leader of the city council (and, of course, a Brighton & Hove Independent columnist), was asked - at a press conference to launch his minority administration’s mid-term report - which single, new achievement he would like to see in his end-of-term report, he said (after mumbling vaguely about 20mph zones), he was clear: winning “City Deal status”.He was right. Next week is crunch time: a “pitch team” led by Councillor Kitcat will argue - in front of the great, the good, and the bureaucrats - why Brighton and Hove should be a socalled second-wave city Firstly, a few facts. Cities are important: with their surrounding areas, they are home to 74% of our population and 78% of our jobs. They are central to the long-term growth and economic success of England. Secondly, a few words. “The country needs more business and employment opportunities to grow the economy. We believe that transferring powers from government to cities will make it easier for cities to achieve economic growth.” So says the govenrment.
What is a City Deal? It is an agreement between government and a city that give the city control to take charge and responsibility of decisions that affect their area; do what they think is best to help businesses grow; create economic growth, decide how public money should be spent. Up to a point, Lord Copper! The first wave of City Deals were with the eight largest cities outside of London, known as the “core cities”. “Wave 2” involves 20 cities: the next 14 largest cities outside of London and their wider areas and the six cities with the highest population growth from 2001 to 2010. Brighton and Hove was one of the 20 cities and their surrounding areas invited to bid for City Deal status. In a sense, such status promises a lot and delivers less. It gives a city extra powers - but not too many. It gives a city extra money but not too much. It enables a city to bid for certain funds - but not much more. Nevertheless, we wish Councillor Kitcat well along with impressive public servants such as Nick Hibberd and Phil Jones. A City Deal is a big deal for Brighton and Hove. Let’s hope we make it.
Corrections and clarifications The caption on the Past and Present feature on page 23 of last week’s edition was incorrect, because of a production error - for which we apologise. The photographs were not of Seven Dials - as many readers spotted! The caption should have read: “Taken looking west on Western Road, Brighton, in about 1906, this old photograph shows Lea & Sons, drapers and milliners, at 63-65, with J Sainsbury next door at 66. Today, fried chicken, sandwiches and holidays have taken over.

Brighton and Hove needs a pay rise: Labour’s plan for city Living Wage Zone
Peter Kyle
Nancy Platts
Purna Sen
We are writing to announce our goal to make Brighton and Hove one of the UK’s first Living Wage Zones. We believe that this can help tackle the low-pay problem that results in so many people in our city struggling to make ends meet - and can help boost the local economy. Ed Miliband has said that Labour will explore how Living Wage Zones could be introduced under a future Labour government in areas where enough employers are prepared to pay the living wage. We welcome the local voluntary scheme backed by many local businesses, voluntary sector groups, and trade organisations. But in a Living Wage Zone, government would provide incentives, sharing the savings to the taxpayer from reduced in-work benefits with firms and areas that help to tackle low pay by boosting the numbers of better-paid and higher-skilled jobs on offer. We believe that Brighton and Hove has the right mix of commitment from businesses, community campaign capacity, and local trade union
organisation to create the conditions to put Brighton and Hove in the forefront of this new approach to tackling low pay. This would provide more support for skills training in the city - as well grants for equipment and new technology that would mean that firms could move to higher-wage business models where a living wage makes business sense. We note that falling pay is a major problem in the UK. Working people today are, on average, £1,500 a year worse off than in 2010 and the election of the Conservative-led coalition government. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has said that the fall in real terms pay is greater than in any previous downturn. At the same time, the number of people who are being paid below the living wage has grown to nearly five million - a 14% increase since 2009. Unfortunately, the local picture on pay is even worse, because of the larger share of the local labour market taken up by lowpaying sectors, such as tourism and retail that pay below the
living wage (currently £7.45 per hour, but due to increase this coming week). Nearly 30% of jobs in the private sector in our city pay below the living wage. That’s above the national average of 26%. Clearly, a Living Wage Zone could make a big difference to many people and help create the momentum for fairer pay across the city. This would be good for the economy, too, helping businesses that want to take the high road to growth and boosting demand too. These ideas show a one-nation Labour approach to tackling low pay. We look forward to campaigning on this issue with trade unions, businesses, voluntary sector organisations, and community campaigners in the period ahead.

Ralph Miliband champion for the British Working Class Further to Jean Calder’s comments (Page 8, October 11) on the positive features of the Daily Mail, one might add that had Ralph Miliband been a right-winger, and a left-winger had attacked him, then - given his PolishJewish ancestry - accusations of anti-semitism would soon have been flying around. Moreover, it is a bit rich, as the Conservative MP for Richmond, Zac Goldsmith points out, to be attacked as a “man who hated England” by a newspaper controlled by a family who did much to support the Nazi cause in England by their support for Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. As a student of Ralph’s in the 1970s, I knew him to be an indefatigable champion of the British working class and, quite rightly, a critic of powerful sections of the British upper class - many members of which were apologists for Hitler, including the former King Edward VIII, aka the Duke of Windsor.

Tattoos are a scar on a generation Mike Holland @ RealMikeHolland
Tattooists are, without doubt, the very first people I would like to see launched into permanent orbit somewhere way outside the stratosphere. As someone who thought it was a good idea to have seven of the wretched things at the tender age of 16, I feel fully justified in suggesting I should be among the first in line to wave these useless individuals off. There can indeed be very few people who have been adorned with dreadful tribal markings who do not admit to wishing they had never had them at some time after becoming 25-plus and, in effect, growing up. There also seems to be some myth about getting these ghastly things removed. Whenever I see them, I feel obliged to ask the now-permanently-
scarred person whatever possessed him or her to think it was a good idea in the first place. For those of us who have had a bash at having them removed, we will all tell you stories of the hell we went through to remove these hated things. We all still bear permanent scars and some will, of course, be worse than others.
as best they could by laser treatment some years later. In my case, I was in the Merchant Navy and felt obliged to copy my peers, who all seemed very grown up - but, in reality, were little older than me. These days it seems to be footballers and pop singers that youngsters want to emulate. As soon as David Beckham and Robbie Invariably, the reply from Williams decided to make themselves look any young misguided victim tribal warriors, is that they are cool and they like a large proportion of our youngsters really like them” immediately followed In my case, I had the ones on my suit. Thanks largely to the forearms cut out under general example of these two characters, anaesthetic - with the skin being we now have a large part of our then lifted up off my arms and younger population with massive stretched before stitching. tattoos enveloping all of one arm, I then had to sit for three weeks which can never be treated. with my arms up in the air There have been several caseabove shoulder height to stop studies of late in which it has the blood pressure building been found that people with up in my arms in order not tattoos are on balance more likely to suffer indescribable pain. to act in an aggressive manner The remaining five were removed than those without them.
Send tattoists into the stratosphere (Photograph: Richard van Hemmen flickr Rich@rt) Well, blow me down with a feather! I thought how did they come up with that assumption. Try wearing the things, try walking down the roadtattooed up to look like Giant Haystacks, when the average youngster is built more like Elvis Costello, and see how you get on. Believe me, you need to be a bit more aggressive - because it now says tough on the tin and that’s what the world expects of you. We need a culture change to reverse this fanatical trend. There is a real need for tighter
regulation - although, of course it will never happen, as things have now gone way too far. What a pity it can’t be made law that all body art should be of a temporary nature and be properly removable when required. After all, English Heritage always insist that any alteration works to a Grade I listed building can be removable, thereby returning the building to its original condition. Why is it then that society tolerates this permanent scarring of the young human body? Our young people deserve better.

Tony Bloom: How I see Albion’s future under Oscar Garcia Brighton and Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom has invested upwards of £150 million in the club. He recently unveiled plans for a new hotel and student accommodation - which looks set to take his personal outlay nearer to the £200 million mark. While much is known about Tony Bloom’s spending on the Seagulls, the man himself prefers to keep a lower public profile. Supporters are more likely to see him on a train back from an Albion away game than on the front pages of local newspapers. Today, however, he opens up to Brighton & Hove Independent in an exclusive interview with RICHARD MORRIS. Before a question-and-answer session with fans’ group, the North West Sussex Seagulls, he was
The summer obviously generated a lot of turmoil at the club. How did it affect you personally? It was a difficult time, certainly. But I try not to get too involved emotionally. Everything we did was done in the best interests of the club. Gus made it clear to me in March that he wanted to leave and did not intend on being our manager this season. From then, it was about doing things the right way. It was obviously a new situation for me, but I believe we did everything right. The summer ended with the appointment of Oscar. That was quite a left-field choice, wasn’t it? Not as far as I was concerned. We wanted someone who could come in and continue with the same style of play as the players were used to. The average time a championship manager stays in their job is about 15 months; so, in a sense, I am always thinking about who we might bring in. I started off with a list of about 50 names of potential managers, but that got whittled down to a few and Oscar stood out.
‘‘
invited to spend some time with the Brighton & Hove Albion owner. Mr Bloom spoke candidly about the departure of Gus Poyet, how he was won over by the enthusiasm of Oscar Garcia, and the club’s plans to push for promotion to the Premier League - something he said was still on the agenda this season, despite a mixed start to the campaign. He also revealed his pride in seeing so many young people across Brighton, Hove and the rest of Sussex now shunning top-flight clubs in favour of Albion shirts – with the club boasting more than 10,000 members of its Junior Seagulls scheme. Here, we print the results of the fascinating and wide-ranging interview.
which really went against him was that he had not played or managed in English football. But I am confident I made the right choice and hope Oscar
‘‘
I can’t guarantee we will make the Premier League, but that is the aim. What we do have is solid foundations and if we do get up we will be well prepared.”
will be here for a long time. He was definitely the best person for the job. Surely, this makes it difficult for him in terms of identifying signings. Is he in charge of player recruitment? I think people underestimate how much he knows about football in this country. His knowledge of players is exceptional. Not a single player will join this club without his say so and although we have a scouting team which identifies potential targets, Oscar will watch DVDs of them playing and unless he is 100% happy that they will fit into his system, we won’t move on to the next step of trying to sign them. Oscar will always have the final say on new players joining the first-team squad.
The club is in my blood and I am thoroughly enjoying the role. I envisage being chairman for a while yet.” He has excellent credentials from his time at Barcelona and in Israel. And when we met, we got on really well. I was very impressed with his enthusiasm and passion and I did not have to sell the Albion to him. He was excited about what we could achieve here. The only thing
Oscar’s job is running the first team. However, what we do want is to have an environment where all the teams, from the senior team down through the youth squads, all play the same system. We want to produce players who are comfortable on the ball and it is important to have someone at the top who shares that vision. The new training facility is going to be amazing and we hope it will help attract the best talent in Sussex to the cub.
How involved will he be with the new academy set up and will the Albion try and learn from his time at Barcelona?
A lot is being made of the restrictions of Financial Fair Play. Would you have liked the opportunity to bankroll big signings - or was self-sufficiency always the plan for moving the club forward? Sustainability has always been one of our aims and, as a club, we are always looking for ways to increase our revenues. But, as it is, we will still be losing millions each year while we are in the Championship. Financial Fair Play is not perfect, but it will hopefully address some issues and stop wage inflation. We think it is the right way to go. It might make the gap between the Premier League and Championship bigger, but I don’t think it will stop the clubs who get promoted being able to compete and stay up. I can’t guarantee we will make the Premier League, but that is the aim. What we do have is solid foundations - and if we do get up we will be well prepared.

Albion chairman Tony Bloom began watching the Seagulls when he was six
Your chief executive, Paul Barber, seems to be the target of some fans’ frustrations. What would you say to supporters who are criticising him? Paul has actually just been voted the best chief executive in the division by other Championship clubs. And myself and the board are extremely happy with the job he is doing for the club. At the end of last season, we were looking at going into this season with a 7% reduction in our playing budget. But, thanks to Paul’s work during the summer, we managed to save £2 million - which meant we could actually increase Oscar’s playing budget from last season. Supporters might not realise that, but that is an example of Paul’s work actively improving what is available for the playing budget. Lastly, some fans are worried that, with the all the off-the-pitch investment, it could be that the Albion are becoming more and more an attractive option for potential buyers. How do you see your long-term relationship with the club? I started watching the Albion at the age of six, when my granddad was vice-chairman. There are highs and lows in being chairman; the club is in my blood and I am thoroughly enjoying the role. I envisage being chairman for a good while yet.
Comment
Tony Bloom at the North West Sussex Seagulls meeting in Horsham
Richard Morris
I was certainly impressed by Tony Bloom’s answers – as well as the club’s recent efforts to engage supporters. In a week when a number of football clubs have banned local journalists from press conferences - or for reporting on matches - it is refreshing to see how much effort is being made by Brighton and Hove Albion to make sure the Seagulls remain accessible to supporters. Not many chairman would be willing to give up a Tuesday night and travel down from London and back again to spend an hour or so with supporters.
But Tony Bloom did just that - and the 60 or so fans who attended the meeting were clearly grateful. By interacting with fans on web forums, providing interviews with podcasts and bloggers, the Albion do a great job in connecting with supporters. And long may it continue. Supporters won’t agree with everything being done at the Albion - and that includes me - but they should appreciate the lengths the club is going to in order to firstly understand concerns and secondly to address them. A raft of various ticket deals announced this week shows the club is addressing issues. Long may it continue.

TEDxBrighton: Ideas worth passing on to the future Adam Tinworth @ adders
If TED conferences are unabashedly about “ideas worth sharing”, the third TEDxBrighton event was about something even more ambitious. It was about ideas that are worth leaving behind us. It was an interesting theme for a city often perceived as being a place for new ideas. That image is, in itself, a legacy of decades of new ideas. At TEDxBrighton 2013, we got a lot of new ideas - 14 of them, crammed into just over six hours. Some talks existed on the point of crux between the legacy of the past and what we want to pass on to our future. Sam Watling talked emotively about the failings of an education system conceived in the heat of the industrial revolution, and modified surprisingly little since. Can we build an education
system fit for an information age, where we use digital tools to allow students to feedback on where they are struggling and reprioritise their teaching even as the course progresses? There was some characteristically Brightonian whimsy - from Dave Waller rapping on the stage, bringing the Bronx to Wales, to Subathra Subramaniam’s use of traditional Indian dance to inspire people to seek knowledge of, and education in, science. Others were more typically Brightonian, like Dr Meg Barker’s talk suggesting a more flexible, gentle approach to the relationships in our life. Which seemed like a logical progression from the city’s current values. Other ideas had the potential for compelling change. Duncan Baker-Brown’s talk arguing that green construction need not be more expensive - especially if you use waste intelligently - led to one attendee suggesting TEDxBrighton
be recycled as wall insulation in one of his projects. Carol Pearson’s shared video of her delightful bowel surgery, as part of an effort to raise awareness of endometriosis - a condition that affects as many women as diabetes - which can cause infertility, painful sex, and which is incurable right now. Can, she asked, free our daughters of this legacy? Nikki Crumpton’s experiences in being involved in the 2012 Olympics put some useful context on the other talks. She argued, persuasively, that legacies need to be flexible enough to adapt to change, yet focused enough to change how people behave to have any significance. This completed Leila Johnston’s earlier talk, debunking our idea of the future as a blank page, and suggesting that we focus more on the roots of the future that exist in the present. Oh, and she really wants us to stop buying time capsules. But Aral Balkan’s closing talk
The 14 speakers - and performers - captivated the TEDxBrighton audience was perhaps the most disturbing. While clothed in the “shiny happy future” of most TED talks, Aral was actually giving us a stark warning. Unless we become more aware of technology, he suggested, we are going to leave our children a future where the data of their lives is owned not by them, but by corporations. Their information will be traded away for temporary convenience, and any sense of privacy in our lives is gone. We can still turn away, he suggested - if we can adopt open tools where the data remains with us.
And for that to happen, those open tools need to become design-led - to provide a userexperience that matches those of closed tools like those from the likes of Apple, Facebook and Google. There’s a challenge for Brighton’s digital sector. Adam Tinworth is a content consultant, journalist, veteran blogger, university lecturer, and believer in portfolio careers. He is responsible for the content strategy of the TEDxBrighton blog and provides real-time blog coverage of the conferences.

The 100 Living Wage su An open letter from the leaders of the three political parties on Brighton and Hove City Council
Lucho and Christine Zuidema, of Brighton House, the award-winning ethical guest house
“The council is pleased to support the Chamber of Commerce in its campaign encouraging local businesses to sign up to the Living Wage. As a major resort with national and international appeal and an influence that extends through the arts, information technology, innovation, business and culture, it is only right that we use that platform to promote fairness and equality and pursue the well-being of those who work here. “The Living Wage campaign simply asks local businesses to consider - and hopefully implement - a wage level that better reflects the cost of living in this city; a reasonable and fair proposition to ensure employees can afford to work where they live...and live where they work. Those who have implemented the Living Wage believe it is a ‘win-win’ for both employer and employee; improving staff loyalty, turnover and business profile; whilst ensuring a fair wage. “The council and other large employers like City College have signed up to the campaign, as have over one hundred local businesses and we sincerely hope that more will take the time to learn about the initiative and join. “Businesses in Brighton & Hove have
demonstrated their resilience in the face of challenging economic times; our hope is that the more employers in the city will further demonstrate our uniqueness and strength by signing up to the local Living Wage campaign.

Denial of access to businesses can trigger insurance claims Noel Preston @noellyp
A significant number of businesses in the city centre were affected by the Churchill Square explosion, which forced them to close for the best part of the day on Tuesday, October 15. This undoubtedly reduced the daily takings of all the businesses who were asked to evacuate, close and not re-open for up to six hours or more. It was estimated that Brighton’s biggest shopping centre lost business from about 15,000 shoppers after the explosion - reportedly caused by a gas canister in an empty unit - at about 8.20am Nearly 1,000 members of staff in shops were evacuated as road closures - including West Street, Western Road and nearby roads caused travel disruption. For businesses who suffered lost revenues, there may be help at hand in the form of their insurance policy.
Most retail package or commercial combined insurance policies, where the Business Interruption section is insured, should have an extension to cover such a situation. A technical insurance jargon example may read something along the lines of “Denial of access - provides cover should property in the immediate vicinity of your premises be damaged and access to your premises is prevented or hindered, whether your property is damaged or not”. A plain English translation: If you had to close your business because of an incident close by, you may be entitled to reimbursement of some of your lost income under your policy. Depending on the insurer and whether the insurance has been arranged correctly, this extension may carry a limit of say £25,000 or £50,000 or may even be unlimited. It will be the responsibility of the business-owner to prove possibly from previous Tuesday sales through the year and those in previous Octobers - the takings were directly affected and
Cordoning off Churchill Square came with a cost
reduced because of the incident and the closing of the vicinity to members of the public (ie potential customers). How can businesses find out if they can recoup some of their lost takings? Speak to your insurer (if direct) or your insurance broker,
who should be able to assist. Because if you don’t ask… Noel Preston is the managing partner of Brighton-based Preston Insurance Brokers: 0845 129 7505. Email: noel@prestonib.co.uk; visit www.prestoninsurancebrokers.co.uk

Juice 107.2 launches its first Christmas Toy Appeal for children in need This year Brighton’s Juice 107.2 is appealing to the people of Brighton and Hove to help make the lives of less-fortunate children a little better. The station is asking the public to donate just one extra Christmas present to The Juice 107.2 Toy Appeal. The presents will be collected from designated drop-off points across the city and distributed to as many disadvantaged children as possible via local charities in time for Christmas. When most of us think about Christmases as children, we think of family, trees, presents, happiness, and being loved. But, for just a second, imagine you had no reason to remember Christmas as anything but cold and lonely, no presents, no tree, no one even to wish you a Merry Christmas. That is the harsh and cruel reality for some children at Christmas. In Brighton and Hove, more than 20% of
children and young people living in our city are living in unacceptable levels of poverty. While we know that receiving a toy will not simply clear away any problems, we hope that for a short while they will feel the joy of Christmas that many of us take for granted. If Christmas is about giving, then this is your chance to give a gift to a child who will appreciate your generosity more than most. Simply take your spare toy, unwrapped and new, to either Juice 107.2 at 170 North Street, Brighton - or to Holmbush Shopping Centre, Shoreham by Sea, at their daily drop-off point just outside Marks and Spencer and Tesco - from now until December 20 during office hours. Juice 107.2 will do the rest. Mike Holland, one of the founding partners of The Juice 107.2 Christmas Toy Appeal, said: “The British Engineerium
is delighted to be supporting The Juice 107.2 Christmas Toy Appeal. Christmas can be a difficult time for a lot of families here in Brighton and a simple donation of one extra Christmas present could help some of these children feel a little Christmas joy.” Hanna Neter, of Juice 107.2, said: “We are very excited to be working with The British Engineerium, Domestic and General, Mears Group, Holmbush Shopping Centre and Brighton & Hove Independent, launching the brand new Juice 107.2 Christmas Toy Appeal 2013. “The simple concept of buying one extra Christmas Ppresent and giving it to the Juice Appeal will go to help some of the children most affected by poverty.” Please get in touch if you are a charity that would like donations, a business or shop that would like to be a designated drop-off point, or if you would like to donate.

Withdean Sports Complex opens athletics track A new athletics track at Withdean Sports Complex in Brighton has been formally opened. Sally Gunnell, who won the 400m hurdles at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, cut the ribbon to open the track, ahead of a community sports day. Ms Gunnell trained and competed on the track - as did fellow gold-medallists Daley
Thompson and Steve Ovett. Brighton and Hove City Council is spending £2.6m on refurbishing the sports complex, which is managed by Freedom Leisure. A council spokesperson said the new athletics track and electronic timing system was designed to cater for national standard events, as well as being home to three local clubs.

Who needs lovers with drinking buddies like these? Drinking Buddies (15) Running time: 90 mins Director: Joe Swanberg Starring: Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, Anna Kendrick, Ron Livingston, Jason Sudeikis Enjoyable, emotionally engaging and bittersweet relationship comedy with a sharply observed script, believably flawed characters and a pair of terrific central performances from Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson. What’s it all about? Written and directed by mumblecore maestro Joe Swanberg, Drinking Buddies stars Olivia Wilde as Kate, the marketing manager of an independent Chicago brewery, Love Brighton-0111:Layout 1 who enjoys a flirtatious
friendship with co-worker Luke (Jake Johnson), who works on the brewing floor. The pair eat lunch together and frequently go for post-work drinks with their other colleagues, but their relationship is strictly platonic, not least because they both have partners – Kate is in a relationship with music producer Chris (Ron Livingston)
their friendship, but Chris and Jill share an awkward kiss while taking a hike together. This prompts Chris to reassess his relationship and he ends things with Kate, which sends her into a downward spiral and leaves Luke to pick up the pieces. Olivia Wilde is terrific as Kate, seizing the chance to play an engaging and relatably complex lead character (rather than The pair have believable the token love interest) duly delivering one chemistry together that and of her best performances is both charming and to date. Rising star Jake Johnson is equally good very funny. as Luke and the pair have while Luke is engaged to art believable chemistry together historian Jill (Anna Kendrick), that is both charming and very even if they haven’t quite got funny. Similarly, Swanberg uses around to picking a date yet. Livingston’s occasionally dull When Chris invites Kate, Luke screen persona to intriguing and and Jill to his family’s cabin in unexpected effect, while Kendrick Michigan for the weekend, Luke tones down her usual sparky 28/10/13 1 charm in favour of something and Kate14:53 end Page up cementing more down-to-earth.
The sharply observed script (which grew out of Swanberg’s improvisational technique, workshopping with the actors) has a raw honesty to it, commendably side-stepping the expected clichés in favour of recognisably realistic situations that are often painful to watch, such as Luke’s powerless jealousy when Kate drunkenly hooks up with another co-worker. Swanberg gets the bittersweet tone exactly right – there are moments and lines that are laugh-out-loud funny, but there’s also an underlying sadness to the film as each character is aware that they are reaching a turning point in their lives; with that in mind, the somewhat ambiguous
ending to the film (which it would be churlish to spoil here) works brilliantly and even serves to point up the inherent cut-anddried falseness of the majority of romcoms. In addition, the film is beautifully shot, courtesy of Beasts of the Southern Wild cinematographer Ben Richardson and the carefully chosen but never intrusive soundtrack features songs from the likes of Richard Swift, Cayucos and Foxygen. Drinking Buddies is an emotionally engaging, sharply observed relationship comedy with a strong script and superb performances from Wilde and Johnson. Highly recommended.

Mr Bake: Big, bold and brash – not for the calorie-counters
Mr Bake is available at all Bagelamn branches. Also, on Saturday, December 7 (9am to 2pm), St Ann’s Well’s Farmer’s Market, St Ann’s Well’s Park, Somerhill Road, Hove. Visit: www.mrbake.co.uk

Mr Bake is the brainchild of business-savvy Tommy, who alongside baker extraordinaire, Ed - concocts bold, brassy bakes for Brighton and Sussex. Those familiar with the cake and baking scene in our city may have heard of the Mr Bake brand, due to their success with launching CroDoughs earlier in October. Not heard of CroDoughs? Perhaps “Cronut” is a term you are more familiar with. “Cronut is now a branded phrase, so we call our version CroDoughs,” laughs Tommy. A cross between a doughnut and a croissant - the word was coined in New York this baking creation has been a sell-out across the city. Available at all Bagelman branches, the lemon-tinged CroDough has been a triumph and an indication of what Mr Bake are made of. “Ed and I have been friends for years and he’s always baked... we got together in December last year and he asked me to help him become a baker full time. He then went away to Australia for three weeks and came back and said to me ‘Let’s do Mr Bake!’ and that’s how it all started,” said Tommy.
Mr Bake initially starting trading at Street Diner in August and the chaps view their bakes as being “big, bold and brash”. “Ed is 6’ 2”, with massive hands. So doing fondant for Ed is a challenge!” Tommy goes on to explain why the intricate details may be missed on their brassy cakes and bakes. “Ed bakes for the joy of it and makes cakes for people who love cakes.” Mr Bake certainly don’t produce for the calorie-counters among us and list Harry Styles, of pop group One Direction, as a fan. “We love to be challenged, we love being experimental and making that our brand,” says Tommy. “We look at flavours, we have a look at how we can make a cake our own. Ed does a lot of tweaking to find out how to make everything more bold.” With their cakes having enticing names like “Billionaire Boys’ Club”, “Chococolypse” and “The Hungry Monkey”, the concoctions Mr Bake create are packed full of frosting, jam, cream and other such wicked delights. With more homegrown creations in the pipeline, including Duffins (doughnuts + muffins), Mr Bake have big plans for the future. Their partnership with Bagelman sees them able to bake throughout the day on Bagleman premises - as
With Bonfire Night just a matter of days away, many of us will be busy throwing parties and having friends round to celebrate Guy Fawkes’s evening. Sausages are often the main dish of choice, as they provide warmth while watching the fireworks throughout the evening. Here then is your definitive guide to the best sausages across the city - to ensure the bangers go off with a bang on the night.

Using 100% pork meat in their sausages, they provide interesting flavour combinations such as chili and coriander, ginger and leek, cracked black pepper and black pudding.

opposed to Ed’s parents’ kitchen in Burgess Hill; they will also be introducing Mr Bake’s Weekly Treats at Bagleman over the coming weeks. “We’re very lucky to have such a fantastic partnership with a Brighton institution such as Bagelman,” Tommy says, sipping his coffee. Mr Bake as a brand are expanding to cater for parties, cool club nights, social events, and office dos as well as the usual birthday
and wedding affairs. Ed and Tommy work together with each client to find a delicious, exciting balance of big flavours to cater for the occasion in hand. “This is a very exciting time for Mr Bake,” Tommy says, with a wicked smile. I couldn’t agree more. Mr Bake are certainly on the rise (no pun intended) and if there was one food brand to keep an eye on over the coming months, Mr Bake would be it.

Muddy Lovely Green Barn, Bolney, West Sussex
Opened by Paul and Dave in 2006, Brighton Sausage Co. provides Brightonians with more than 50 different varieties of sausage. Traditional pork appears alongside lamb, chicken, beef, game and a continental selection. Will pork, honey and thyme take your fancy this November 5? Or how about a more daring duck and orange banger to see in your evening? The menu is very eclectic and there is certainly
Feeling adventurous this Bonfire Night? Why not make your own sausages using Muddy Lovely’s premium, free-range brand of pigs. Half or quarter pigs are available to order direct and each box contains chump, hand, neck, loin, belly and leg - plus optional head and trotters! Dust off the mincer, get creative with your casing, and give home-made bangers a bash.
Method 1. Grease and line an eightinch-square tin, using butter and baking parchment. The tin should be covered on all sides. Preheat oven to 180c/160c fan 2. Place the raspberries and Chambord into a bowl, mix together - taking care not to break the raspberries. Leave to soak up! 3. Using an electric mixer, mix the sugar and eggs together until really light and fluffy. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the melted butter ensuring its all fully mixed in. 4. Fold the mixture into the mix, taking care not to knock air out 5. Fold in the pecan nuts and the roughly-chopped mix 6. Scatter the raspberries into the mix; they should have soaked up most of the booze, and mix in! 7. Pour the mix into the pan; if you’ve got any juice left from the raspberries, drizzle it on top. 8. Bake in the centre of your oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. They are done when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out mostly clean; it doesn’t matter if blondies are slightly gooey in the centre! Allow the blondies to cool completely in the tin. 9. Remove and cut into squares, then eat!

March 21 - April 20 You need to show yourself the same tenderness you would show to others, this week. Don’t be too self critical. You have done well so far in coping with a difficult situation. Perhaps now is the time to ask for some support. Towards the end of the week there may be issues surrounding close friends and travel.
September 24 – October 23 You may have been involved in formal therapy sessions recently or undergone some self analysis and now better understand your own physical and spiritual needs. This is a time for new beginnings, fresh starts and new challenges but this doesn’t mean old friendships have to be abandoned. In fact this week could bring back an old flame back!
TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Because you have some challenging decisions to make you are in a nostalgic mood and a little at sea emotionally. You are full of what ifs! Don’t feed these insecurities. Give yourself a little time to reflect and you will soon realize that you did indeed make the right decisions and the ones you make now will be right too!!
Tom Gallagher @GallagherTDG
The chilblains and raw skin of ice-swimming might not appeal to us all, but it has become a way of life - a philosophy even - for its proponents regularly undertaking one of swimming’s most unique challenges. The World Winter Swimming Championships (WWSC) - held every two years - is where that challenge is competitively met. And in 2014, it’s going to be especially chilly. Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland and, while it may be synonymous with Santa Claus, it happens also to be slap bang on the Polar Circle at the border of the frozen Arctic tundra. It would be fair to say that if cold-water swimming is your thing, then the 2014 WWSC is going to be about as cold as it gets. Finns, the great Sauna-loving Nordic nation, have been cutting holes in icy waters in which to swim for centuries. Known as “Avantouinti”, the frosty habit is inexorably linked to the traditions of the sauna and there’s even an Avantouinti Society in Finland. Across Northern Europe and the United States, winter-swimming is booming - with many different locations providing exciting backdrops in which to indulge: northern Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia all harbour burgeoning populations of chilly-dippers. The decision to host the world championships in Rovaniemi seems fairly understandable and in keeping with the essence of ice-swimming. Firstly, it’s very cold; situated on the Arctic Circle, it would be. But perhaps more importantly is the city itself. As the “official” home of Santa Claus and where “Christmas can be experienced all-year round”, it’s hard to think of a more magical or alluring backdrop. The symbiosis of the event and its home for 2014 seems compellingly relevant. The city is a bustling hub of 60,000 people and 14,000 reindeer. Worldclass attractions and facilities combine amid a dazzlingly-

beautiful environment. Organisers of the event hope that visitors and competitors will be able to enjoy the city in its own right. There will be a three-day celebration of competitive ice-swimming at the championships, which begin on March 20 with a seminar on the international cold-water scene, the blue-ribbon 450-metre endurance swim, and the evening’s opening ceremony. Events throughout the competition, which is limited to 1,200 people, include competitive and noncompetitive races of between 25 and 50 metres in breast-stroke and freestyle. Junior swimmers have their own classification and, every evening, award ceremonies and gala celebrations mark the end of the day’s Arctic antics. At the climax of the series, on the final day, the last of the awards will be handed out and will include the accolade for “the most original swimming performance”, before the closing ceremony that will see the handover to the next host in 2016. Despite its fun and inclusivity, this
is a serious competition and one not to be underestimated. Its very nature demands a keen respect, which is reflected by the organisers’ conditions of entry. For those looking to compete in the 450-metre race, a written certificate from an individual’s swimming club or trainer proving their capacity to undertake extreme cold water, must be shown. And nobody is getting in anywhere before a doctor’s certificate is seen and a signature of personal liability is completed. The WWSC is going to make a wonderful excuse to visit Finland early next year - and whether you brave the water yourself or just soak up the carnival atmosphere, you are sure to receive a warm welcome.

SCORPIO
October 24 – November 22 You hold all the cards this week and are in a very powerful position but make sure you keep this to yourself. You do not want to been seen as smug or controlling. Play it cool and you should get what you want. This is a great week for parties whether it be birthday, engagement or well just for fun! Let your hair down!
May 22 – June 21 Your life seems to be racing along almost uncontrollably at the moment. Although things seem exciting they can be quite frightening too. You have to trust that all will be well. This is a time for letting all those forces play out and you will be astounded at the results. The focus of excitement is on home and love.
SAGITTARIUS
CANCER
CAPRICORN
June 22 – July 22 You find change unsettling and this is a week of change. I know it’s difficult for you to embrace this, particularly if it is significant or rapid change but things will truly turn out for the best. This week you need to focus on redrawing the boundaries in relationships or at least tackling some insecurity you may have.
22 December – January 20 You are beginning to realize that actually you are pretty good at what you do! Over the coming weeks more career opportunities will open up. If you make the most of this new found confidence your rise should be rapid if not meteoric! Indulge yourself this week with a little shopping spree. Not too heavy on the plastic though!
LEO
AQUARIUS
July 23 – August 22 You may feel a little constrained at the beginning of the week and stifled. This is not the time to make bold decisions with regard to your domestic situation or your career. As you move towards the weekend your choices will become clearer and the benefits of being circumspect also. Then is the time to follow your heart and make positive decisions.
January 21 – February 19 There is no point worrying about things you can’t change. You are wasting energy if you do this. As the saying goes you have to “learn to accept what you cannot change”. Focus on all the good things that are happening right now, have faith and trust that the cosmos may know better than you what is good for you!
Virgo
Pisces
August 23 – September 23 Sometimes you are just too scared to deal with your own emotions but this is a great week for meditation, contemplation or just getting in touch with the inner you. There are positive financial and career changes forecast too but you need to make sure every I is dotted and every t crossed if you are signing a contract!
February 20 – March 20 You and only you can make the decisions that you know have to be made. Don’t listen to so called “good advice” those delivering it may well have their own hidden agenda. Once you have made your mind up about how to proceed, start taking steps to make things happen - you may well be surprised at who turns out to be your ally!
November 23 – December 21 You’ll be making a hospital visit or dealing with someone in need of a little TLC sometime soon. Your attentiveness will be rewarded. This is a great time for nurturing that creativity that is so much a part of your being. Try to find time for that art or literary project you have shelved for far too long!

32% of UK motorists call for smoking ban
Motorists should challenge parking tickets, MPs say Drivers who contest parking tickets should be offered a 25 per cent discount, MPs say in a new report Motorists should take a risk and challenge parking fines, MPs have said as they called for drivers to be offered a discount even if their appeal fails. The proposals, drawn up by the Transport Select Committee comes as figures show that only one per cent of tickets are taken to a tribunal by drivers. Many are reluctant to do so because they risk losing a 50 per cent discount for paying early – worth up to £65 – if they lose. Under the changes proposed by MPs, drivers would get a 25 per cent discount after an unsuccessful appeal if they paid up within seven days. The changes proposed by the committee represent a compromise between the current system and demands by motoring groups for the councils to “stop the clock” when an appeal is lodged. “A common-sense approach to parking enforcement should minimise the issuing of Penalty Charge Notices to motorists who make honest mistakes,” MPs said. The Committee’s investigation was launched against a backdrop of councils’ soaring revenue from parking charges and fines. More than 350 councils who enforce parking in their areas are supposed to use the powers to manage traffic flow. But the latest figures show they are set to net a £635 million profit this year. MPs rejected calls from local authorities that they should be
A poll reveals which European road laws Britons would like to see here in the UK allowed to spend the surplus as they wish, rather than being restricted to using the money for transport projects. The Committee also called for parking fines to be frozen, expressing surprise that the stiffest penalty – £130 in central London – is £30 higher than the fine imposed for offences such as driving using a mobile phone. “It’s right that parking charges
time after the alleged offence. Councils should be legally obliged to publish their parking accounts every year in the interests of greater transparency. “Annual parking accounts would show how much local revenue is derived from the enforcement of fines,” Mrs Ellman added. This was welcomed by Edmund King, the AA’s president, but he was disappointed by its approach to contesting tickets. Common-sense approach “We believe the full discount should to parking enforcement remain in place should minimise the issuing until appeals have been heard.

Government plan to cut motoring costs Drivers will benefit from plans to introduce fuel price comparison signs and a freeze on MoT test prices, say ministers. The government has announced a range of measures to bring down motoring costs, including a pledge to crack down on fraudulent claims for whiplash injuries. Roads minister Robert Goodwill has said the government is “determined” to keep down the costs of owning and running a car. Plans include: ■ Crackdown on whiplash claims: Ministers are promising to save motorists money by tackling the so-called ‘compensation
culture’ which pushes up insurance premiums. Currently drivers can claim for whiplash without a medical report, but the government will next year introduce independent medical panels to identify exaggerated or fraudulent claims. The move has won support from Labour, insurers and motoring organisations. ■ Fuel price comparison signs: The cost of fuel is one of the main gripes among drivers, with petrol and diesel typically costing 7.5p per litre more at motorway service stations. The government wants to install a
series of price comparison signs, to be piloted next year, which will show petrol station prices along any given route. This will allow drivers to make an informed decision about where to top up their fuel. ■ Freeze MoT test prices: The maximum price that can be charged for inspecting a car will be frozen at £54.85 until 2015. ■ Driving test cost review: The Department of Transport also has plans to review driving test fees, which currently cost £31 for the theory test, £62 for the practical test and £50 for a provisional licence.
In a survey of over 2,000 Brits, conducted by YouGov, the used car website investigated which European road laws Britons would like to see implemented in the UK, in which a ban on smoking in both public and private cars took poll position, echoing Cyprus’ ban on smoking in private vehicles carrying under 16s. This highlights how the smoking ban and stricter advertising rules relating to cigarettes may be having a greater effect on the public consciousness. However, conversely, only 1 in 10 (11%) felt a law was needed that requires you to have a breathalyser with you when using a car or motorcycle, snubbing France’s new law introduced to deter drink drivers.
horns after dark. This follows the UK Government’s recent introduction of stricter driving laws, such as stricter penalties for those sounding their horn at night, and drivers facing on the spot fines for lane hogging and tail-gating. However, Brits seemed less concerned with energy efficiency, just over 1 in 10 (11%) said they felt a law preventing stationary vehicles from leaving their engines on was something they’d like to see introduced, as made popular in Belgium. Astonishingly, some Brits were willing to adopt a selection of more bizarre European laws. 3% commented that they’d like the UK to implement Denmark’s requirement for motorists to check under their cars for sleeping children. A further 2% thought Russia’s law against driving a dirty car should There are some be enforced and an conflicting views here in even wackier 1% that Britain terms of what motoring thought needs a law against laws should take priority those who decide to wash their car on a over others, with some Sunday, as applied in people opting for more Switzerland.

Straight from the commentary box Never go back. It’s a phrase often used in football. I have to say I probably would agree on most occasions. The second spell for a player at a football club often never lives up to the hype and expectation. One man desperate to prove the naysayers wrong is Andrew Crofts. I vividly remember commentating on so many of his goals as they were so often winners. The glancing header at Exeter away in the pouring rain, the drilled shot against Southampton in Gus Poyet’s first game in charge. He has the knack. He also has an incredible level of fitness. Goals often come late in games as he keeps going when others falter. He’s aware in the box like a striker.

end of last season the club had actually been looking at having to make a 7% reduction in the playing budget but that because of his chief executive’s hard work over the summer enough savings had been found elsewhere to actually hand the Albion’s head coach a slightly improved war chest with which to fund a promotion push.

Big match preview: Doncaster Rovers vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Oscar Garcia
Leaky Doncaster Rovers defence should suit Seagulls strikers Brighton’s grave injury list is finally easing ahead of tomorrow’s (Saturday) trip to Doncaster Rovers – although the game is likely to come too soon for any of the long-term absentees to make too meaningful an appearance. Liam Bridcutt has returned to training this week but is unlikely to feature tomorrow while Andrea Orlandi has been pencilled in for a comeback in one of the Albion’s next two fixtures – although the home game with Blackburn appears the more probable. Leo Ulloa and Craig MackailSmith should be back in action next month and Kemy Agustien has also stepped up his recovery following a stop-start opening few weeks to life at The Amex. Oscar Garcia will be confident his side can address their five game winless streak against a Doncaster side who go into the match on the back of a pair of heavy defeats. Rovers have lost their last two outings (away to Reading and Middlesbrough) and leaked eight goals in the process – scoring just once in return. It is the sort of statistic which will be music to Oscar’s ears at a time when his own attacking players have struggled to score on a regular basis. With his wellexecuted equaliser in the televised
game with Watford, Andrew Crofts moved level with Ulloa at the top of the Seagulls’ scoring charts with four goals and the midfielder has also clocked up an impressive 28 shots so far this season – more than any other Albion player. Oscar’s system appears to suit the 27-cap Welsh international and the Albion number eight has been among the stand-out performers so far this campaign. He should also benefit from the return from injury of the Kemy Agustein and Andrea Orlandi – with the former allowing Crofts to get forward more and the latter the club’s chief creative influence.
Tomorrow’s match looks set to be a clash of cultures, with Doncaster conceding an average of 51% possession at home so far this season. Albion boast an average of 55% possession when away, hinting it could be Brighton who enjoy more of the ball. However, Doncaster lead the league in aerial duels won (58.5%) while Brighton have a far less impressive average of 47%. Rovers have also scored 55% (six) of their goals from set pieces – suggesting Brighton will be well advised to limit the number of corners and free kicks they give away in tempting areas.

Some sections of the Albion support have criticised Bruno during recent games after an unsuccessful experiment in midfield saw him replace fans’ favourite Inigo Calderon in his more natural right back position. During the second half against Watford, Bruno showed signs of returning to his best going forward and his developing partnership with Will Buckley remains key to the Seagulls attack. ASSISTS*
