REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL? EXCLUSIVE by Greg Hadfield and Ian Kostrzewski The property market in Brighton and Hove remains remarkably buoyant, according to Land Registry figures for the third quarter of the year. A unique analysis by Brighton & Hove Independent has revealed a significant increase in prices for detached properties – with an average price of £491,668, which is 4.2% higher than it was in the second quarter (April-June). The quarterly analysis is based on 1,112 transactions, involving homes with an aggregate value of £327.9 million – compared with a record of £390.5m in the same quarter in 2010, when there were 1,359 transactions. During the summer months, the average price of home in the city was £294,883, slightly lower – as expected - than the record of £299,834 set in the same period last year. The exclusive findings – full details of which are on pages 20 and 21 - come in the wake of a study that forecast prices in Brighton and Hove are set to

outpace those in London for the first time in more than a decade. According to research by Savills, the estate agents, the good news – for homeowners, at least – is that average prices in the city will soar by 32% over the next five years. Representative of the buoyant market, a five-bedroom Regency home in Kemptown, is on the market for £3 million. Yesterday there was also cheering news that the worst might be over for high-street retailers in the south (see page 27).

Expansive plan to build on success of Pride weekend Preston Park could stage extra events on Pride weekend next August to help the festival raise more for local charities - as well as meeting its infrastructure costs. A report to the city council’s culture committee recommends councillors grant landlords’ consent to stage the Pride parade through the city plus the ticketonly festival in Preston Park on Saturday, August 2. Councillors are also being asked to approve subsequent events in 2015 and 2016. Unusually, for next year, the council is also looking at a proposal from the Pride Community Interest Company to add events in Preston Park on the Friday and Sunday as well. A council report suggests the Friday event could be one not specifically aimed at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. This could be an onstage show in the main tent,

with ticketed seating for 1,800. One idea mooted for the Sunday is an outdoor “Proms-type” concert linked to commemorations of the outbreak of the First World War. No decisions, however, have yet been made. This year saw one of the most successful local Pride events, raising some £43,000 for LGBT charities. About 160,000 residents and visitors took part. But organisers feel the event would be on a sounder financial footing and raise more cash if extra dates were staged. Cllr Geoffrey Bowden, chair of the culture committee, said: “The council is very keen that Pride succeeds and raises lots of money for local LGBT charities. So we’re looking at these ideas, aimed at helping them recover more of their costs and generate more for those charities supporting and delivering vital services to the local LGBT community. “Extra dates would give an

opportunity to stage events attracting audiences beyond the LGBT community, and perhaps wider age groups. We are looking to do much to remember the sacrifices of WW1 next year so the suggestion for a related event on the Sunday is a good one for the committee to consider.” The report recommends that councillors allow the main Pride event on the Saturday to extend its hours. If agreed, it would run from 10am to 10pm instead of the previous noon to 8pm. Officials believe the altered timings would help ease the pressure for people accessing the park at the start of the celebrations and remove the ‘rush hour’ at the end by extending the closing time. This would allow people to head back into the city centre over a longer period. The culture committee meets to consider the report on Thursday (November 14).

Council could offer long-term permission for big events Some of Brighton and Hove’s highest-profile events could get long-term permission from the city council to help them become even bigger moneyspinners for charities and the local economy. A new report for the city’s culture committee recommends granting the Brighton Marathon and half-marathon five-year permissions, from next year to 2018. Under the proposal, the London-to-Brighton Bike Ride – as well as the corresponding night-time event - would each get three-year permissions, from next year to 2016. And the popular cinema Screen on the Beach would also get three years’ consent, from next year. Until now, such repeat events have had to secure annual approval from the council, covering things such as use of land and road closures. The culture committee is being recommended to approve the move as a way to help organisers with planning, securing better deals from contractors and sponsors, as well as cutting the bureaucracy involved in making repeat decisions. Special planning teams involving the council and

Pride attracted 160,000 people last year - and raised £43,000 for LGBT charities

The London-to-Brighton Bike Ride could get go-ahead for three years

emergency services would, however, still prepare in detail for each event. Councillor Geoffrey Bowden, chair of the committee, said: “These events are hugely successful, boosting the local economy and, in some cases, raising very large sums for charity. We know we want them back, certainly into the medium term, so it makes sense to reduce the number of decisions by extending their permission over several years. “For example, if we know we want the bike rides for many years to come, there’s no need to keep re-inventing the wheel.” The report goes before the culture committee on Thursday (November 14) for a decision. The fourth Brighton Marathon

last year attracted nearly 10,000 runners, boosting the local economy by £4.5m. The Sussex Beacon charity Halfmarathon, dating back 24 years, attracted similar numbers. The London-to-Brighton Bike Ride, first staged in 1980, is the main fundraiser for the British Heart Foundation, with 27,000 entrants. Some 5,000 riders take part in the night-time version. The Screen on the Beach first appeared between the piers in 2012. It proved a huge hit for fans watching the Olympics. It is hoped the screen would be popular for the Rugby World Cup, in the UK in 2015. Brighton’s Amex Community Stadium is among the competition’s venues.

Our city is a beacon to the country when it comes to the campaign for a living wage Jason Kitcat @jasonkitcat

A quarter of the country’s Living Wage employers are in Brighton and Hove. The Living Wage is a rate of pay that means people are able to live where they work. The rate is set by the Living Wage Foundation, which examines the costs of living - such as rent, energy and food. Campaigners in Brighton and Hove have been arguing for the living wage for many years. We took forward their work by immediately introducing the living wage for council staff as soon as we were elected, and setting up a Living Wage Commission to look at how a living wage might be adopted across the city. The Chamber of Commerce has since led on the campaign on

behalf of the council, and now more than 100 employers in the city have voluntarily signed up to pay their staff at least £7.45 an hour; a new rate of £7.65 was announced this week. These employers include businesses large and small as well as public and community organisations. This great success of the

to live, benefits such as housing benefit help them make ends meet. Recent research found that every worker who is paid the living wage saves the government an average of £232 in benefits and raises an extra £445 in income tax.

Crunch time looms over disagreement about free Christmas shopper parking Frank Le Duc @BHcitynews

A meeting has been called to decide whether Conservative plans for free parking in Brighton and Hove will be put into effect. Conservative councillors called for five car parks to be free on Small Business Saturday on December 7 as well as on the three Sundays before Christmas – December 8, 15 and 22. The car parks are in London Road, Regency Square, Trafalgar Street and High Street, off St James’s Street, in Brighton - and in Norton Road, Hove. The Greens countered with their own proposals. These include reduced prices in the London Road and Regency Square car parks in Brighton and free parking in Norton Road, Hove, in the pre-Christmas period. Green councillors also propose permanently cutting the price of parking in London Road on Sundays. A decision will be taken at a meeting of the Brighton and Hove

50,000 to 100,000 visitors to the city centre daily; also, on December 7, there is an Albion home match. Councillor Kitcat said on Monday: “Officer analysis of the proposals backed by Labour and Conservatives to provide allday free parking in city-centre car parks just before Christmas shows they’re completely antibusiness and could ruin Small Business Saturday. “These are the busiest shopping weekends of the year when retailers want a fast turnaround in car parks, bringing in as many shoppers as possible. “Yet the Labour/Conservative scheme invites a limited number of shoppers to park all day for free, blocking car parks to other shoppers, reducing the number of shoppers in town and causing massive tailbacks, with resulting congestion and pollution.” Cllr Kitcat said the council would lose £112,000 in parking revenues. On Tuesday, Brighton & Hove Buses outlined concerns about the proposal for free parking, which it said would cause congestion around the city.

City Council Policy and Resources Urgency Sub-Committee on Tuesday, November 12. The subcommittee has three members: one Green (Jason Kitcat), one Conservative (Ann Norman) and one Labour (Warren Morgan). When the decision to offer free parking was made at a meeting of the full council on October 24, Conservative and Labour councillors voted together, outnumbering the minority Greens. A report to the sub-committee says the Conservative proposal related to some some of the busiest days of the year, with

It said that in December last year buses carried more than 350,000 passengers and warned people could face the risk of service disruption for the sake of a few free parking spaces in a “minimal” number of car parks across the city. Chris Todd, of Brighton and Hove Friends of the Earth said: “Bus services are incredibly important for the city’s economy. They are the most effective way of moving vast numbers of people in a compact city like Brighton and Hove. If councillors want to boost trade why are they not trying to fill empty seats on the buses?”

Brighton War Memorial, Old Steine

He died on October 15; he was buried on Tuesday. He was 22. This weekend, the sacrifice of James Lee Brynin - and that of countless others - will be honoured across the city and across the country. Nearly 1,000 atttended the funeral of Lance Corporal Brynin, who was born in Shoreham and who died far from home in Afghanistan, killed in action when his section became the target of enemy fire. Serving with the 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), he was shot in Helmand Province. Greeted by a troop of 30 men carrying embroidered

flags, the casket was carried into St Mary’s Church, Pulborough, cloaked in the Union Flag. Almost 1,000 residents, military personnel, comrades, friends and family watched and wept. Also present was the young soldier’s golden retriever, his companion since childhood. The former Steyning Grammar School student – known as “Jay” - was a keen fan of Brighton and Hove Albion. In tribute, more than £3,000 has been raised for Hounds For Heroes, which provides assistance dogs for disabled servicemen and women. “In Flanders fields the poppies blow”

Life story of Albion’s Knight in shining armour on its way to the best-seller list Richard Morris

The man who saved Brighton and Hove Albion releases his long-awaited - and potentiallyexplosive - autobiography next week. And it has already reached the best-seller lists. Earlier this week, it was ranked among the top 500 best-sellers on Amazon.co.uk – even before it was published. Last night, it was ranked at 1,904 out of Amazon’s 6m+ titles; in particular, it was ranked 25 in football biographies – one place higher than Sir Alex Ferguson’s first autobiography “Managing My Life”. Dick Knight brought the club from the brink of extinction and oversaw one of the most exciting – and important – times in the Seagulls’ history, working tirelessly for years to safeguard the club’s long-term future. He was instrumental not only in saving the club, but also in bringing it back to Brighton from a temporary exile in Gillingham

and then securing its new home at Falmer. Dick Knight: Mad Man - From the Gutter to the Stars is being launched at a host of events, beginning with an evening at Brighton, Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (BHASVIC) in Dyke Road, 7pm Wednesday, November 13. Entry is £8. At 7pm on Monday, November 18, there is another question-and-answer evening at Ropetackle Arts Centre, Shoreham. The book, with a cover price of

The Book Doctor Laura Lockington

Interpreters By Sue Eckstein I always used to be fascinated by my parents’ memories of the war. I would ask question after question. Some utterly ridiculous, of course; some utterly unanswerable. (Have you seen the rations that were meant to last them a week? I put more butter on two slices of toast now. But they were the healthier for it, I suspect). The air-raids, the doodlebugs, the dread of the knock at the door and a telegram, but the nittygritty of what it was like to live during those dark days are pretty clear to me, mostly through books and films. But what if you’d not been living in Britain? What was it like for a woman living in Germany?

Little by tantalisingly little, we find out some of the dark and disturbing secrets that Julia Rosenthal’s mother has been burdened with for years. When Julia herself returns to her childhood home in the suburbs (knocking at the door and explaining that she used to live there, something I have done myself after plucking up the courage to do so), all of the hidden and murky memories are unleashed. And then the past and the present collide with shocking and haunting results. This is a wonderful book and was the deserved winner of the People’s Book Prize. And don’t miss the very evocative picture of the suburban house on the back inside cover. It will bring back your very own

memories of childhood suburbia with a vengeance.

£20, will also be available from City Books in Western Road, Hove, where there is a free booksigning event for supporters from 1pm on Saturday, November

16; on the same day, there is a signing session at Waterstones in Brighton. A Kindle version is also planned for release.

Dulce et decorum est Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Last week’s call for a Living Wage Zone by Labour’s three parliamentary candidates

Green candidates: What the Labour trio should have included in their letter about the living wage It was startling to find that there had been a sub-editing slippage in your issue of November 1. We are, however, glad to supply the paragraph missing from the long letter by the Labour candidates for the three parliamentary seats in Brighton and Hove. Here it is: “It was, of course, a Green initiative to introduce a Living Wage scheme to Brighton and Hove. This was in the

vanguard of national moves to do so, and was announced by Cllr Bill Randall in July 2011, soon after he took leadership of the council. “It sought to introduce such a scheme among council employees – and firms whom the council sub-contracts. This has been supported by the Chamber of Commerce, which recognises that not only workers gain from such a scheme, but also the general economy. And so, once

again, where the Greens lead, the Labour party is glad to follow. We doff our hats to Green wisdom, humanity and economic acuity.”

Questions for Jean Calder on why she writes so often about Sharia law In response to Jean Calder’s Brighton & Hove Independent article (page 8, November 1) on the beliefs of immigrants. First it was her article on October 11 supporting the Daily Mail’s clearly anti-semitic stance on Ed Miliband’s Jewish father - for which the Mail apologised - and then her recycled stereotypical Islamophobic scaremongering on Sharia law (August 2, September 20, November 1) that made me feel like it was the inquisition on its way! How many years did you, Jean Calder, spend studying the vast intricate corpus of Sharia law? Why do you only focus on the same rehashed one-sided views of Sharia law? Do you know that our prime minister, David Cameron, recently announced a plan to make London the world’s financial capital for Sharia-compliant financial products? What relevance does Sharia law have to Brighton to merit writing

about it four times within the short life of Brighton & Hove Independent? Have you been to listen to Friday sermons given by local Imams against domestic violence, disrespect to one’s neighbours and fellow citizens regardless of their gender, religion, race or sexual orientation? Do you know that your articles are destroying the years of painstaking work our local council has been championing in promoting community cohesion and prevention of extremism? Do you realise just how many people you have discriminating views against, describing second- and third-generation descendants of immigrants as “settlers”?

Let’s have a Civic Service that helps meet the needs of young and old alike Mike Holland @ RealMikeHolland

Given our ageing population, it is obvious society simply cannot doddle along hoping the problem of who is going to look after our elderly properly goes away. With the baby-boomer generation hitting retirement age, the problem is about to get a whole lot worse. At the same time, we have a growing problem of what to do with school-leavers who are struggling to find a job. Even more important is the need to tackle the substance misuse and, in some cases, total lack of respect many of our young people display in everyday life. In many cases with no job to go to and little prospect of finding one, is it any wonder a good

number have no self-respect and, therefore, display none to others? I am not suggesting we return to National Service - although that would be preferable to the yob binge culture that we have now. I am suggesting Civic Service, which could encompass

The much-reported 15-minutea-day visits to the elderly are a scandal and the issue requires addressing immediately. Not by doubling it to 30 minutes and hailing it a great success to be boasted about in political circles. We need real change so that each elderly, disabled or vulnerable person gets the support they We need real change so need throughout the that each elderly, disabled or day, every day.

Let

them earn a respectable young person’s wage, rather than paying benefits and breeding a generation of unemployable people. Perhaps, if we are lucky, it may not be too late to turn the tide - although I suspect, whichever wonderful bunch of politicians we elect, next to nothing will change as we continue to flounder about being dictated to by Brussels. I do think, however, that any party brave enough to put forward a proposal for all young people to participate in a compulsory 12 months of Civic Service would be supported in the polls by a huge proportion of the electorate. Anyone brave enough to tackle the permanent winge-anddemonstration brigade?

We don’t need a return to National Service

100 up! Brighton and Hove celebrates Living Wage Week Greg Hadfield @GregHadfield

At the start of National Living Wage Week, the Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce celebrated the recruitment of more than 100 local businesses supporting the business-led campaign with an event in the offices of Mayo Wynne Baxter. The guest speaker was Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton Pavilion. Dr Lucas said: “I’m immensely proud of the overwhelming levels of support that employers in Brighton and Hove have lent to the Living Wage Campaign.

Over the last month, there has been a flurry of activity with some notable businesses signing up to support the thinking that paying a living wage is good for the economic development of our city and the people that work in it. The latest sign-ups included

‘‘

Paying a living wage is good for the economic development of our city and the people that work in it.”

City College; Nixon McInnes, a digital agency; Impact Initiatives, a charity; Infinity Foods, the retailer and cafe; Brighton Peace

Jason Kitcat, leader of the city council, joins the celebrations

“In just two years, our city has made great strides, showing that - even in a time of economic hardship - it is possible to tackle inequality while also promoting competitiveness. “By paying their staff a living wage, local businesses are sending a clear message that everyone should earn enough to cover the cost of living.” Dr Lucas also paid tribute to the support of Brighton & Hove Independent, media partner for the campaign, following our exclusive four-page report last week. Later, it was announced that the living wage outside London had been increased by 20p – from £7.45 to £7.65 an hour. The Brighton Living Wage Campaign campaign is funded by the city council, but managed wholly by the chamber of commerce.

106. They are Brighton Botanical Ltd, Madgex, Travel Nation, and Rickshaw Travel. The campaign has been running for 18 months in the city and has provoked a significant debate. With tourism and hospitality central to the city’s economy, some representatives of the sector argue they are unable to pay the living wage because they are unable to pass the cost on to their customers. In contrast, campaign organisers point to how fast-growing digital companies firm are beginning to be a driver of the local economy. Consequently, they are pleased that it is the digital sector that leads the way in the number of Living Wage sign-ups. Julia Chanteray, president of Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce, used Monday’s Living Wage Week celebration by launching a challenge for each business to recruit at least one other - thus doubling or even trebling the achievements so far. She said: “We’d like to see the campaign going into a third year with lots more businesses being signed up so that paying the Living Wage becomes the norm in Brighton and Hove.” Separately, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, and the Living Wage Foundation released the new UK Living Wage rates for 2013/2014.

organisations have until April 1 2014 to implement the higher rate. Yesterday Tracey Allen, of SEA PR Consultancy, which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the campaign, said: “I am so encouraged that over 100 businesses have taken the time to sign up to the local campaign and It is encouraging to see the Living Wage debate increase during Living Wage week. “I am pleased that the rate has gone up – and I am also pleased it has not gone up too much. This way it keeps it achievable for more businesses, but makes a difference to the employee’s pocket as the cost of living increases.” For more information, visit: www.livingwagebrighton.co.uk

Bid for City Deal status for “Greater Brighton” reaches crucial stage In July last year, a Greater Birmingham City Deal document was formally signed by Greg Clark, the minister for cities.

The Greater Brighton City Deal has moved a step closer after a team from across the region presented the bid for the funding flexibility and new investment to government. The “Greater Brighton: Superfused City Region” proposals set out ambitions to improve job prospects, earnings and business opportunities by establishing growth centres across the city region - which draws on one of the most highly skilled work forces in the country. Research into Brighton’s creative technolongy cluster has shown that “fused” businesses - which bring together creative content and technology - grow three times faster than the average business. The City Deal aims at spreading this success across the Greater Brighton area. The bid sets out ambitions to: • become the southeast’s most-

improved economy linked to London; • establish a prominent creative technology growth centre in Brighton’s New England quarter; • develop a network of universitybacked growth centres, unlocking sites from Newhaven to Worthing to create space for businesses to grow; • commit £8.3m of new publicsector investment and unlock £173m of new private-sector investment; • deliver 8,500 new jobs; • create a new Greater Brighton Economic Board of public, private and university sector partners to lead the region’s economic strategy. Through the “City Deal” programme, the government is giving city regions more freedom and flexibility to kick-start their economies according to their local strengths.

The leaders of Adur and Lewes District Councils, Mid Sussex and West Sussex County Council, Worthing Borough Council, and Brighton and Hove City Council have worked in close partnership with the Coast-to-Capital Local Enterprise Partnership on the bid. City council leader Jason Kitcat said: “This is a very exciting stage of the City Deal process. A tremendous amount of hard

region’s importance to the national economy has been recognised. We are going beyond traditional boundaries to bring together a true partnership that will improve our area for all.” Tony Mernagh, executive director of the Brighton and Hove Economic partnership said: “City Deal has been a great catalyst, bringing together the different actors in the city region to address some long-standing challenges and some exciting A tremendous amount of grasp opportunities.” hard work has gone into a bid Phil Jones, chief executive of Wired to strengthen our economy” Sussex, said: “The Brighton Fuse work and collaboration has gone research has into developing a bid which will clearly demonstrated the strengthen our economy and importance of the creative tech nurture local business. sector to our economy. “We are rightly very ambitious “Most of this cluster of and I am delighted the city companies didn’t even exist 10

or 15 years ago, but now they are key to the city’s current and future prosperity. “It is clear that there are barriers to growth for these companies. The infrastructure of the city hasn’t been able to keep pace with the cluster’s growth. “Workspace which is right for these businesses is in really short supply especially in those areas of the city that these businesses want to be, and broadband capacity is not good enough to enable these companies to create and deliver their new products and services effectively. “Our hope is that the Greater Brighton city deal bid will help with these issues, and that’s why Wired Sussex has put a lot of time and resources into helping develop it, including being a central part of the team which is actually pitching the deal to ministers.”

The ups and downs of property prices in Brighton and Hove Comment Patrick Kneath, of Beaumonts

At Beaumonts Estate Agents, we have seen a 25% increase in 2013 for transactions, compared with the same period last year. In relation to prices, we have seen a 10% to15% increase in some sectors of the market - for example Edwardian or Victorian houses in Fiveways. This is partly due to “out-oftown” buyers looking to move to the area for the good schools, transport facilities and life style change. We have further noticed an increase in first-time buyer registrations and buyers living in rented accommodation coming into the marketplace - including more “buy-to-let” investors.

This is due to building societies and banks “softening” their approach to lending and low interest rates for savers, who now see the market rising and feel the need to buy. We would hope there is not much of an “artificial stimulus” to the increase in prices that seems to be emanating from London. There always has been a demand for investing in bricks and mortar - and, while prices are rising, the selling market is driven by job security and wage increases, which seem to be heading in the right direction. Patrick Kneath, a committee member of Brighton and Hove Estate Agents Association, is a property analyst with Beaumonts Estate Agents, 9 King’s Parade, Brighton, BN1 6JT.

Brighton and Hove - Past and Present

In the summer of 1908 (or thereabouts), Brighton beach - looking east towards what was then still the Palace Pier - a lot of people appear to be enjoying themselves. On a wet autumn day today, you can see only pebbles and slightly changed skyscape. [Old photograph courtesy of Step Back in Time, 36 Queen’s Road, Brighton.]

Divorce without the fireworks Remember, remember the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent to blow up King and Parliament.

in the poem – Bonfire Night is a happy occasion, it brings parents and children closer together and for most involves marveling at the lit up sky, eating autumnal comfort food and enjoying a roaring bonfire.

Living in Sussex few of us are likely to forget Bonfire Night. If you live in or anywhere even near Lewes the celebrations are infamous. Most people will remember at least the first few lines of this poem but I wonder how many know of the second verse? It is totally and utterly outrageous, shocking even, and has rightly been forgotten:

For separated families it can be another calendar date marred by sadness, where children celebrate with one parent or where the only fireworks are those between warring parents – who in Guy Fawkes like fashion - plot and scheme. Intent on hurting each other, feelings are more akin to the second verse of the famous poem. As a Collaborative Family Lawyer and Mediator I help separating couples see that if you are prepared to put the work in you can do things differently….. divorce doesn’t have to be about fireworks, or plotting your ex’s downfall.

A penny loaf to feed the Pope A farthing o’ cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A faggot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we’ll say ol’ Pope is dead. Despite the gruesome nature of November 5th’s origins reflected

Many couples think that the plotting and scheming is inevitable; one wins and the other loses. So when they come to me I explain it does not have

FA MI LY L AW to be that way. Collaborative law is a way of doing things differently. Each partner has their own lawyer, we all sit down together to work out a way forward. As a mediator I can also help couples negotiate some of the practicalities of parenting after parting. So who has the children on special occasions such as Bonfire Night are resolved long in advance and so that everyone can look forward to the event. Once the parents I work with understand that the process is open and built on trust then things become easier, they can start seeing that with some work their relationship with their ex can be more like a business arrangement that needs to be maintained so that their children can still benefit from having two parents involved in their life. lp couples work together to find new solutions and move on from the often explosive past of an unhappy relationship ; for many this means that in time the only fireworks are the ones that light up the sky on a chilly November night.

Health chiefs in Brighton and Hove are working with a national charity to encourage more men to check whether they have the signs of prostate cancer. Prostate Cancer UK has awarded funding for a specialist nurse to work with the Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group on a one-year pilot project.

Primary children in schools across the city have been offered a complimentary school lunch this week. The city council marked National School Meals Week in partnership with the council’s school meals contractor, Eden Foodservices.

A pensioner who continued to claim housing and council tax benefits despite having savings and investments of more than £60,000, has been given a three month community service order. Lloyd Worrell, 78, of Brunswick Place, Hove, pleaded guilty to two charges of benefit fraud when he appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is considering whether to investigate two Sussex Police detectives for misconduct over their handling of a case involving the late broadcaster Jimmy Savile. The IPCC has written to the force about the way that the case was handled by the officers, asking for more information.

The worst might be over for the high street in the south The UK retail sector is beginning to feel the effects of the nation’s fledgling economic recovery, as demand to rent premises rose in the south during the third quarter of the year, says the latest RICS Commercial Property Survey. With winter fast approaching, 21% more chartered surveyors reported rises rather than falls in demand for shops. While demand is still historically low, this jump in interest from potential retail tenants does represent a welcome sign that the worst could now be over for the high street. Significantly, every part of the country saw demand for retail space increase with London seeing the most notable growth. In tandem with this more positive picture for the sector, the amount of new retail space being built across the country also rose slightly (net balance +6%). There has also been a rise in demand for office space, with 34% more surveyors seeing a rise in demand rather than a fall, and in industrial space with 51%

Churchill Square is hoping for a strong Christmas

more surveyors seeing a rise in demand. These two sectors have also seen a drop in availability in the south, pushing rental expectation for the next three months up. Simon Rubinsohn, RICS Chief Economist, commented: “The pick-up in the desire to occupy retail space is broadly

reflective of the improved trend in high street spending. “That does not, however, mean that the big challenges facing the sector have disappeared. Rent expectations are still largely soft away from the southeast part of the country and it is mainly in London where the numbers are strongly positive.”

Checkatrade.com hits 1m reviews A total of one million customers have now posted reviews on Sussexbased Checkatrade.com, which provides access to thoroughly-vetted and continuously-monitored trusted trades to stem the tide of rogue traders. Kevin Byrne, the company’s founder - Entrepreneur of the Year in the 2011 Brighton and Hove Business Awards - said: “Customer reviews are the lifeblood of our business and allow us to protect the public from rogue traders. “When a consumer doesn’t know which trusted trade to use they can turn to us and our 15 years’ experience. Reaching one million reviews is an outstanding achievement, which is a strong testament to the hard work put in by my staff.” Peter Payne, a customer living in Rochester, Kent, posted the millionth review after hiring Checkatrade.com member Kai

McEvoy, of KRM Carpentry. Kai installed top-quality solid oak flooring and a new wooden staircase in Mr Payne’s home. Checkatrade. com sent him a hamper full of goodies as a gesture of thanks. Mr Payne rated Kai 10 out of 10 for all review categories: tidiness, reliability and timekeeping, courtesy and workmanship. He wrote: “Very pleased with everything KRM did, The finished result looks amazing.” It is the latest milestone for Checkatrade.com, which now receives approximately 500,000 visits to its website each month and has more than 11,400 trade members. The firm is recording record profits and rapidly expanding, advertising on ITV’s Daybreak weather and Channel 5’s Cowboy Builders to raise awareness among consumers and attract new trade members.

Hammer time - Chris Hemsworth returns as Thor

The Great It would be churlish to suggest that director Alan Taylor landed the job purely because of his work on Game of Thrones, but that experience is certainly notable, not least because he gets the tone exactly right, expertly balancing thrills, laughout-loud humour, darker themes and powerful emotion. Similarly, the effects are excellent and the fight sequences are both genuinely exciting and inventively staged, particularly during the actionpacked London-set climax that uses its Greenwich locations to

wonderfully imaginative effect. On top of that, the film is packed full of clever in-jokes and nods to Marvel fans, from the obligatory Stan Lee appearance to an inspired, crowd-pleasing cameo it would be wrong to spoil. There are also not one but two postcredits stings (one mid-credits, one post-credits), so don’t leave before the end. Worth seeing? This is a Thor-oughly (sorry) enjoyable, emotionally engaging sequel that delivers thrills, spectacle and laughs in equal measure. Highly recommended.

Portman, in turn, is pleasingly feisty as Jane, while Hiddleston once again steals the entire film with a wonderful, emotionally complex performance that allows you to glimpse the pain and heartache underneath the scheming,trickery and wisecracks (he gets all the best lines). The supporting cast are equally good, particularly the everfabulous Kat Dennings as Jane’s assistant Darcy (who gets slightly more to do this time round and, amusingly, still can’t pronounce Mjolnir), Jonathan Howard (as Darcy’s put-upon intern Ian) and, in a brief, but effective cameo, Chris O’Dowd as Jane’s date Richard.

The places I eat

Treat yourself to a real feast this Christmas at some of the city’s finest restaurants Claire Beveridge @placesieatbtn

It may be only early November, but Christmas will soon creep upon us like the cruel winter mistress she is. And there is nothing worse than suddenly realising it is mid-December and nobody in your office has organised a celebratory get-together. If it’s the traditional turkey and all the trimmings you are after, you will be better off sticking to one of Brighton’s many pubs. Cricketers, Hove Place, The Sussex Yeoman and Fountain Head all have excellent two-or three-course traditional menus available for under £25 a head. But this is Brighton and Hove, not some humdrum town in the middle ofnowhere. We Brightonians like to be diverse, different and wholeheartedly embrace our liberal, quirky and alternative roots.

Coal Shed 8 Boyces St, Brighton BN1 1AN www.coalshed-restaurant.co.uk Telephone: 01273 322998 Push the boat out this Christmas and spend a luxurious evening at Brighton and Hove’s best steak restaurant. For £40 ar head, you can graze on options such as lobster and prawn ravioli, wild boar and prune terrine, roasted pheasant with chestnut,

plus mulled wine poached pear with stilton and honeycomb for dessert. With a wine list that is heavily geared toward old and new world reds, there is also a decent selection of white wine to complement any fish dishes, as well as sparkling and champagne available by the glass.Able to cater for up to 40 guests in the main dining area, Coal Shed also has an additional private room available for hire to make your Christmas Party that extra special. Upmarket but still retaining a casual dining atmosphere, Coal Shed is a stand out for high-class food this December.

Chimney House 28 Upper Hamilton Road, Brighton BN1 5DF chimneyhousebrighton.co.uk Telephone: 01273 556708 This little-known pub off Seven Dials does wonderful homecooked food, made from locallysourced ingredients, and is the perfect location to while away an afternoon or evening sipping red wine with colleagues. Its Christmas Feasting Menu is £25 a head and serves up to 12 diners. Gorge on roasted game birds, pork and ham-hock pie, with quince trifle to finish. Quaint, cosy and confident, the Chimney House is a perfect “that little place I know not far from town”.Book ahead and enjoy a wonderful meal by a roaring fire this winter.

Riddle and Finns II 139 Kings Road Arches, Brighton BN1 2FN www.riddleandfinns.co.uk Telephone: 01273 821218 The beachfront boutique of fish restaurants, Riddle and Finns II invites you to experience a dazzling array of aquatic wonderment. With two set menus to choose from - priced at £25 and £35, respectively - Riddle and Finns have put out all the stops to ensure a memorable Christmas party for 2013. Choose from pan-seared scallops, smoked salmon and caviar, wild sea bass and polenta, whole lemon sole or ginger pudding with brandy sauce. Wash these delicious dishes down with glasses of reasonably-priced wine from an eclectic list that includes more than 20 different types of sparkling and champagne for you to try. Reliable, elegant and classic meals are to be had this December at one of the best fish and seafood restaurants on the south coast.

Al Duomo 7 Pavilion Buildings, Brighton BN1 1EE www.alduomo.co.uk Telephone: 01273 326741 Al Duomo, in the heart of the city, is the perfect establishment for a kitsch and debauched night out with their cheap and cheerful “dinner and disco”

Coal Shed, 8 Boyces Street, Brighton

menu. For a mere £27.50 a head, you get to enjoy a threecourse Italian-influenced meal, followed by hits from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s until 2am. Think parma ham and melon, deep-fried whitebait, chicken breast and mushrooms, penne with basil and pine kernels, followed by the classic tiramisu. Bottles of wine start at £12.65 and glasses of Prosecco come in at a very reasonable £4.75. Deciding to move onto spirits later? Premium spirits and mixer start at £3.95. Sometimes all you want to do is get slightly sozzled on cheap white wine, make a pass at someone you shouldn’t, and spend the following day trying to conceal your shame and embarrassment from your colleagues. Al Duomo is perfecto for that sort of behaviour.

Ginger Pig 3 Hove Street, Hove BN3 2TR www.thegingerpigpub.com Telephone: 01273 736123 This is where I shall be heading in December to embark on a three-course menu comprising of oxtail ravioli and crispy ox tongue, slow-cooked breast of pheasant with prunes, pearl barley and cavolo nero, finished off with a delightful cardamon panna cotta. For only £25, this gourmet menu is ideal for small groups and those who really love their food. James at the Ginger Pig even devised a separate vegan menu for one of our party, ensuring that everyone was happy and catered for. Expect excellent customer service, high-quality food and a jovial, friendly atmosphere.

Open market can be a magnet for food-lovers again Claire Beveridge

The rejuvenation of the London Road area of town is gathering further pace, with a brand new market area due to open in early 2014. Brighton Open Market is on course to throw open its doors in January and will provide a much-needed new space for traders and producers

across the city. The newly-refurbished area will give a platform for those involved to showcase their produce and talents with an emphasis on promoting local, organic, ethically-sourced and healthy, fresh goods. As building works on the previous market site continue, the new Brighton Open Market will provide 45 permanent stalls; the space can also be expanded for use as a creative hub with entertainment,

street art and installations planned for the future. The project is being funded by a development of 87 affordable homes by housing group Hyde. Working closely alongside City College in order to provide training and skills for their apprenticeship students, Hyde also provided 80 full time jobs during the construction phase. Market-based trading has been prominent on London Road since the First World War and it

will be fantastic to see ethical, local produce filling the streets in that area again. I can remember the maze of fruit and veg stalls, fishmongers, haberdasheries, butchers, bakers and candlestick-makers that once were on that site. We can only hope the new Brighton Open Market can capture the special atmosphere that was once a prominent shopping destination for food-lovers and

the general public alike. Over half the pitches are already taken and opening is over three months away. If you would like to be involved or find out more, telephone Janine Woodward on 01225 750925. Email: janine@ethicalproperty.co.uk

Sep 24 – Oct 23 You are ready for a fresh start. Your energy levels are high which translates into you making big career strides. Just one word of caution, don’t promise what you cannot deliver. Any travel this week should be work related but it’s unlikely to be overseas.

@GallagherTDG

April 21 – May 21 You could be thinking of entering into a new partnership, launching a new product or investing in property. Whatever the legal issue this should turn out to be a good move on your part provided you clearly understand the commitment you have to make.

Oct 24 – Nov 22 Sometimes you have so many ideas in your head you find it difficult to reach a decision. Share your fears with a loved one but not your colleagues or you may be perceived as indecisive. Take control and all bodes well, procrastinate and the opposite is true!

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

May 22 – June 21 Lately money, or lack of it, has been on your mind. You are wondering how you can fund either your present lifestyle or the large purchase you wish to make. therefore a bit scary. Don’t panic, revisit your ideas, listen objectively to others advice and all will be well!

Whether you embrace it with open arms and lavish it with attention - or “Bah! Humbug” your way through the whole damn thing there can be no denying that the festive season is upon us. The lights are up, the box of tinsel is coming out and the awful Christmas jumpers are calling from their forgotten corner of the cupboard. If the cold and windswept weather that has welcomed the start of this year’s run-up has done little for your bonhomie, some winter sun might be in order. And in Orlando, Florida, the magic of Christmas is big business cast beneath perennially-warm blue skies. Synonymous with its theme parks and bound to its sunbelt beauty, Orlando is the multifaceted United States destination that has the capacity to cater for

Relax under blue skies this Christmas

visitors all year round. The tourist board, Visit Orlando, is busy extolling the city’s festive virtues of which begin, unsurprisingly, at the theme parks. - Walt Disney World Resort offers some of the most elaborate of seasonal festivities, with more than 1,300 decorated trees and 8.5 million lights strung throughout. For several weeks around the holidays, guests celebrate the season with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom

The Grinch at Christmas at Universal Orlando Resort

Park, Holidays Around the World at Epcot, and the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios; -Universal Orlando Resort celebrates the classic tale of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” with Grinchmas at Islands of Adventure. Guests can also visit Universal Studios to experience Macy’s Holiday Parade, presenting floats and balloons direct from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. On New Year’s Eve, CityWalk comes alive with performances by national acts, a gourmet buffet and nightclub entertainment -SeaWorld Orlando has an annual Christmas celebration that runs for six weeks, beginning on November 23. SeaWorld offers special shows and attractions, including Shamu Christmas Miracles, Winter Wonderland on Ice and The Polar Express Experience; -LEGOLAND Florida will feature Christmas Bricktacular, a celebration with daily appearances by Santa Claus, a 270,000-LEGObrick Christmas tree and other seasonal creations. Kids can also

participate in the countdown to 2014 during a giant, LEGO brick drop at “Kids Standard Time,” otherwise known as 7pm. Beyond the thrills and spills of the parks lies the city. Orlando wears the busy adornments of a modern metropolis well. Bars, clubs, cafes, art galleries and museums are all bound together by a common thread of Orlando’s close association with African American and Caribbean culture. In this heady cultural mix is a range of seasonal goodies. There’s plenty to enjoy in Orlando away from the family-focused fun as a winter-sun destination for adults. The city is also full of dining experiences from award-winning restaurants to casual eateries. It is also a world-class spa resort, an adrenaline-junky’s paradise, and a shopping megalopolis. And without children in tow, adult travellers can take advantage of some great off-peak deals. Tom Gallagher is a Brighton-based freelance journalist interested in travel and sport.

The company is looking for up to 150 new recruits to join the 500 strong group currently undertaking the scheme across its five UK sites. Jaguar Land Rover claims its apprenticeship scheme will give students a strong blend of real world experience and academic learning. Applicants can choose from either a four year Advanced Apprenticeship aimed at GCSE students or a six year Higher Apprenticeship aimed at A-Level entrants. To qualify for the Advanced Apprenticeship, applicants must have a minimum of five GCSEs, graded A-C, which must include English,

The six year programme focuses on a variety of roles within Jaguar Land Rover, with spells in product development, finance, purchasing and manufacturing. As well as giving real world experience with one of the world’s most brands, the Higher Apprenticeship includes a fully funded engineering degree from The University of Warwick. In both cases, recruits can expect to work alongside world-class engineers to develop Jaguar Land Rover’s latest vehicles. This year Jaguar Land Rover is calling on more young women to consider engineering careers and join a growing number of females choosing to work in the automotive sector.

Brighton’s football boss wins coveted Championship award

JOHNNY CANTOR

@johnnycburger

Straight from the commentary box 7 weeks until Christmas. That usually means 7 weeks until I start looking for Christmas presents. I haven’t yet read the new book from former Albion owner and chairman Dick Knight but like many Seagulls fans I expect a copy in my stocking. I would expect some wonderful stories from a man who has never been short of a few words! I find it increasingly difficult to find time to sit and read football books but there certainly seems to be growth in the market. Albion have been well served with, amongst others, Dan Tester’s On This Day and The Match of my life from Pitch Publishing which highlights some of the best games from big names from the past and there’s Gullhanger from Mike Ward. This year the big sellers will be headed by Sir Alex Ferguson’s biography no doubt

and Keith Gillespie’s How not to be a Football Millionaire all come recommended by some colleagues. The often outspoken but regularly refreshing Craig Bellamy has his story on the shelves as well. There are too many to mention really but The Nowhere Men from Michael Calvin gives an inside track on the life of the football scout, a world that we often never see. One player I always admired was Dennis Bergkamp. He dazzled as a player but his new book also promises much and, like his career on the pitch, I’m sure is likely to deliver. If you like foreign football Graham Hunter’s Barca sheds light on the Camp Nou and mentions Albion coach Oscar Garcia as well nice insights like how Lionel Messi took growth hormones as he was so small. There are some pieces of work that also stand the test of time. My favourite is Left

Paul Barber CEO Brighton & Hove Albion

Richard Morris

Brighton’s often maligned chief executive has been voted the best in the Championship by the Abion’s rivals. Paul Barber has become a target for disgruntled supporters and Amex regulars concerned at price increases and redundancies at the Albion. Just last week, in an exclusive interview with the Brighton & Hove Independent, chairman Tony Bloom reiterated his support for the man who has been tasked with bringing the club’s spending

under control and told to address annual losses of around £8million. And he revealed that was it not for Barber’s penny-pinching saving the club £2million in the summer, head coach Oscar Garcia would have had to go into this season with a playing budget seven per cent lower than that enjoyed by predecessor Gus Poyet. Now Barber has been named CEO of the Year for the Championship in a football business award. He was due to find out last night (Thursday) whether or not he had secured the overall award for all four professional leagues in England and the top tier of Scottish football.

Brighton & Hove Albion Women in League Cup action Albion’s women are also in action this weekend. They make their long-awaited return to Withdean Stadium on Sunday afternoon when they host Gillingham in the Premier League Cup. Kick-off is 2pm and entry is free for all season ticket holders and under 16s. The price for everyone else is £2.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s biography certain to be a big seller this year

(mind you I feel I’ve read it already with all the exerts). It certainly feels like there is something for everyone this festive season. We have Harry Redknapp’s new oeuvre, there’s Sven Goran Eriksson work on all things on and off the pitch. The Secret Footballer

Foot Forward by former Albion player Garry Nelson. It has the highs, the lows, the mundane, the mud. It is also very honest, a quality that a football book requires (if I am to finish it!) and hope Dick Knight’s Mad Man tells it like it is and like it was.

Big match preview: Brighton & Hove Albion vs Blackburn Rovers

Nathan Jones

Oscar Garcia has tough decision to make in attack

manager Gus Poyet. That would make room for Lita to take his place in the starting line-up. More likely though is that David Lopez – fresh from his match-clinching strike last weekend – will start on the right with Conway on the left, leaving room for only one of either Barnes or Lita. Liam Bridcutt, Kemy Agustien and Andrea Orlandi have returned to training but will most likely sit out action until after the fastapproaching international break. Keith Andrews, Andrew Crofts and Jake Forster-Caskey should continue as the midfield trio while Will Buckley’s hamstring injury

may see Solly March given a run out from the bench. Blackburn are likely to prove a more testing opponent than a Doncaster team which had leaked eight goals in two games. Blackburn currently sit ninth in the Championship and in Jordan Rhodes they boast arguably the division’s most clinical striker. The Scotland international has 10 goals from 40 attempts. However, Blackburn have won just once on their travels this season and Oscar will be hoping his defence can shackle Rhodes and end a run of three home matches without a win.

Likely starting XI: Kuszczak, Bruno, Upson, Greer, Ward, Andrews, Forster-Caskey, Crofts, Conway, Lopez, Barnes. Likely subs: Ankergren, El Abd, Chicksen, Calderon, Ince, March, Lita. Out: Ulloa (knee), Mackail-Smith (knee), Hoskins (Achilles), Bridcutt (hernia), Buckley (hamstring)

We wanted three points, we needed to stay in touch with the Championship pacesetters, so we took a calculated gamble and it worked well. In the first half we got into enough good positions but just lacked that final ball, but we controlled the game and Jake scored a great goal . “We tried to capitalise on that in the second half but it wasn’t to be and Doncaster came out, grafted and got their goal. “We decided to go for it and we did, we changed our shape which we don’t normally do and got a big three points. “We’re fighting to stay in touch with the teams at the top ready for when we get the majority of the players back.”

(Talking after the win at Doncaster)

Oscar Garcia faces a selection headache ahead of tomorrow’s match with Blackburn Rovers after Leroy Lita’s late goal at Doncaster strengthened his claims for a starting slot. The on-loan front man found the net for the first time since his temporary move to The Amex from Swansea during the Seagulls’ welcome win last weekend while Ashley Barnes drew another blank. Barnes, who has deputised for Leo Ulloa since the Argentinian striker fractured a bone in his foot, has impressed with his general play but struggled to score and is without a goal from his 24 shots so far this campaign. And Oscar’s assistant boss Nathan Jones confirmed that Lita was itching to get a first start in the stripes. Speaking earlier this week Jones said: “He [Lita] has had to be patient. He is champing at the bit and angry at times because he isn’t starting. “We know he can score goals and today [against Doncaster] he had his opportunity and scored. “That is what he does he is single minded in that kind of way.” One option for Oscar could be to move Craig Conway out to the right hand side and deploy Barnes in the same left flank role he often operated in under previous

Albion Statistics:

As an established England youth international, Forster-Caskey is one of the most exciting prospects to emerge at from the Albion academy for some time. A tidy, energetic midfield player with an eye for the spectacular goal (see last weeks strike against Doncaster Rovers), Forster-Caskey is now showing signs of establishing himself as a regular first team player.
