Academy row escalates, as parents and teachers demand

HANDS OFF HOVE PARK Greg Hadfield @BrightonIndy With students and staff on halfterm holiday, the increasinglyheated controversy about the future of Hove Park School is reaching a crisis. Governors at one of the mostimproved schools in the country are investigating the possibility of converting the school into an academy, outside of local authority accountability. But many parents and councillors are concerned that the move is unnecessary and will change the relationship of the school with its surrounding

community. Derek Trimmer, the headteacher, published a 1,300word statement explaining why the school is even considering a switch. He said: “Academy status aims to give more control over decision-making directly to the school. In short, academies have greater freedom to achieve best value for their students. “As an academy, we would have greater control over the way in which we spend our budget and the types of project that we would like to engage in. “This ranges from being able to apply more directly to central government for funds relating

to building projects, to choosing the types of school improvement partnerships we want to develop. Mr Trimmer went on: “We know that about two thirds of secondary schools are now either academies or in the process of converting and the significant majority of them are converter academies which have made the decision to make the move of their own free will. “A quick trawl through the DfE (Department for Education) list on the website shows that the vast majority of these are, in fact, very successful schools; in fact 89 per cent are currently judged >> Continued on page 6

Parties at odds over election results No sooner were the results for the European elections published than the Labour Party and the Green Party began bickering about who was in pole position to win the next elections: the Brighton and Hove City Council elections and the general election on May 7 next year. There was no disputing the outcome of the 10 European Parliament seats up for grabs in the southeast, a single region with an electorate of 6,441,003 - of which 36.5% turned out to vote. The UKIP surge resulted in them having four MEPs in the region ■ Labour Party ■ Conservative Party ■ Green Party ■ UKIP ■ Liberal Democrats ■ Others

(32.1% of votes cast, up 13.3% on 2009), with the Conservatives having three (31%, down 3.8%), followed by one each for Labour (14.7%, up 6.4%), the Greens (9.1%, down 2.6%), and the Liberal Democrats (8%, down 6.1%). The battleground, however, was the data published about how people voted in each of the 67 local authority areas within the southeast region. In Brighton and Hove - where turnout was 37.9% - Labour secured 20,414 votes (26.8% of the 76,030 votes cast in the city) - compared with 9,113 (14.5%) in the 2009 European elections, held when a Labour government was mired in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The Green Party received 18,586 votes (24.4%) - compared with

19,727 (31.4%) in 2009. From this raw data, party apparatchiks in both parties raced onto social media to argue that their party had - locally - "won" the Euro poll: Labour, because its votes had more than doubled in five years; the Greens, because a ComRes opinion poll of 1,004 people in the city last October had indicated Labour had 38% support - 11 percentage points higher than in the European elections; the opinion poll, sampled at a nadir in Green fortunes because of the Cityclean dispute, put the Green Party at 21% - three points lower than in last week's elections. In addition, Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion one of three consituencies in the city - claimed the European results suggested she was on track to win

the seat again next year. This may be true. Then again, it may not be. The European votes were not counted in wards or in constituencies. So no constituency data was published. Councillor Warren Morgan, leader of the Labour Group on the city council, tweeted on Monday: "In 2009 the Greens beat Labour by 10,000 votes, but a year later only won Pavilion by 1,250. Yesterday we beat them by 1,750. #cantholdseat". Which may be true. Then again, it may not be. In 2010, Ms Lucas won Brighton Pavilion, with 31% of the votes - in a general election in which Green support was concentrated in the heart of the city; in the two other constituencies - Hove and in Brighton Kemptown - Green candidates attracted only 5% of the votes. In other words, about three in four Green votes in the city were cast in Brighton Pavilion. In 2011, at the city council elections, the proportion was lower, at three in five. One thing seems clear: the Green Party vote in the city has not imploded - getting only 1,141 fewer votes last week than in 2009, despite

the travails of the minority Green council administration. It is possible for Ms Lucas to hope that nearly 14,000 of her party's votes in the European elections were from people in Brighton Pavilion. Therefore - assuming that Green support is very highly concentrated in a single constituency, that turnout is evenly distributed across the city, and that Green voters are just as likely to vote or not to vote as anyone else - it may be true that the Green Party is in pole position in Brighton Pavilion. With a higher turnout at a general election (70% or so), it may well be true that Ms Lucas could expect to attract more than the 16,238 votes that won her the seat last time. Then again, it may not be. In fact, the truth may be that next year's elections will be decided by people who have not yet decided whether to vote and how to vote – particularly when the results are much closer to home than Brussels or Strasbourg. Regardless, the bickering has only just begun. Data-visualisation challenge: Making sense of council data, see page 13

Pavilion setback

Courses reprieved

A £14 million bid to transform the Royal Pavilion estate in the heart of the city has been rejected. Brighton and Hove City Council and the Brighton Dome and Festival applied for the money from the Heritage Lottery Fund. to start work on a £35 million development programme to preserve the complex, which contains eight listed buildings and used to be the home of George IV.

More courses under threat because of the financial crisis at City College Brighton and Hove have been reprieved. The college said that - as a result of ongoing internal consultations with staff and learners - it has agreed in principle that it will continue to offer provision of courses for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities in September. Lynn Thackway, the principal,

said: “Currently, we’re working with the team to consider new delivery models which we feel will be sustainable and that also offer our learners opportunities for supported working and volunteering placements. Once we’ve agreed the detail of the planned programmes, we will share this with our staff and learners and we look forward to launching our new programme soon.” A one-year journalism that was due to be cancelled has previously been re-instated.

Academy row escalates > Continued from page 1 as Good or Outstanding , with less than one per cent deemed to be seen as failing. Meanwhile, the city council Greenled minority administration is seeking cross-party support for a ballot of parents - something that the school says it is not legally obliged to do. The move will be discussed on Tuesday (June 2). Councillor Sue Shanks, chair of the council’s children and young people committee, said: “Academies are deeply contentious and the decision to become an academy is irreversible, so it’s crucial that everyone is fully consulted.

It’s disappointing that the school won’t conduct their own ballot." Hands Off Hove Park, a parent-led pressure group, has been objecting to the plans, which it says have not been subject to proper consultation. It has gathered almost 1,700 signatures on a petition to keep the school accountable to councillors. Sharon Duggal, on behalf of the group, has written to governors raising concerns that three of the six parent-governor posts are vacant. She said Pinacki Ghoshal, the city council’s director of children’s services, had twice written to the governors instructing them to hold elections: "The reason for this instruction is that the board

is currently in breach of the local authority's regulations on the constitution of school governing bodies. To date we are not aware of any reply to Mr Ghoshal’s instruction or the announcement of any elections. "Hands Off Hove Park School originally alerted the local authority to this breach and it's 160+ members are very concerned that the board is not taking this matter in hand as a serious breach of governance. Ms Duggal called for the election of three parentgovernors to be carried out immediately - "and certainly before any vote on academisation takes place".

Pavement parking targeted in a new council crackdown Drivers who park on the pavement are to be targeted as part of a concerted campaign in Brighton and Hove. Four areas are to be the focus of the crackdown announced by Brighton and Hove City Council. The council said that the crackdown would start next month in places where people have reported problems with illegal and obstructive parking and parking and driving on pavements. The four targeted areas are on busy roads, some of which are routes to schools or near leisure facilities or shops: ■ Portland Road, Hove - where vehicles block the views at junctions and pedestrian crossing points and drive onto pavements during the school run; ■ Kingsway - outside the King Alfred Leisure Centre - where people drive onto the pavement and come into conflict with people using the leisure centre and seafront, including children; ■ Nevill Road, Hove, between Eridge Road and Nevill Avenue – where residents and Sussex Police have raised concerns about obstructive parking blocking views near the traffic lights by Woodland Drive, and where people drive onto the pavement during the school run;

■ Ladies Mile Road, Patcham, between Warmdene Road and Highview Avenue South - where pavement parking has worsened near the shopping parades and close to schools. The council said that the education and enforcement campaign was being supported by Sussex Police, the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership, and Guide Dogs, the charity for the blind that has been campaigning nationally for action to be taken against pavement parking because of the dangers for people with poor vision or blindness. Parking on the public highway on or behind double yellow lines is unlawful, the council said. Posters will be going up in the four targeted areas from Sunday (June 1) and warning notices will be issued for two weeks from Monday, June 9. This will be followed by a week of enforcement action where people will receive penalty charge notices, starting from Monday, June 23. During action days staff will also be looking for abandoned and stolen vehicles. Alongside the enforcement action, the council’s road safety team will be promoting a “Park Safe/ Walk Safe” education campaign to address unsafe parking and driver

In Defence of Dogs by John Bradshaw Carlotta. Buffer. Marmaduke. Folly. Daphne. Flo. These were the names of my beloved dogs and I could never forget them. Flo is very much alive still, sitting on my feet as I write this. But the others are sadly in doggy heaven - chasing rabbits in a dappled meadow, of that I am sure. Dogs get a bad press in Brighton. The "pick up the poo" brigade is very vocal indeed (I would like to assure everyone that I always do) and the banning of dogs from public places seems to be getting wider (unlike in Paris, where our four-legged friends are welcome in restaurants and shops to no detriment that I can see). But reading this book to understand dogs is a

revelation. Yes, they are descended from wolves; and yes, they are bred to suit our purposes. Bradshaw makes it very clear what those purposes are in the 21st century, mainly for companionship. What a great companion a dog makes. This book has some wonderful tips and facts that are astounding: dogs that can alert people suffering from diabetes, for instance, letting them know when they have dangerously low-blood sugar levels, thanks to an acute sense of smell. There are also some touching line drawings, including one of a human skeleton found cradling the bones of a small dog in its arms, a staggering 14,000 years ago in Germany. It seems that throughout time dogs have been our constant companion. And, for that, I am very grateful.

behaviour outside schools. At the end of last year, the council began enforcing illegal pavement parking in Elm Grove, Brighton. As a result, 70 vehicles that used to be parked on the pavements at junctions are no longer there; in the first two months, 500 civil enforcement officer visits took place and 563 parking tickets were issued.

And they are set to change listen to those who question the 500 million people speaking 24 the boring face of British politics sanity of belonging to the very different languages, ever to see expensive Brussels club - a club basic issues the same way, let forever. Guess what? The political where we are chucking in £55 alone anything complex. You Mike Holland @RealMikeHolland

wafflers in the other parties are now going to be listening to us apparently. Yes, that is right, us - the little people who they normally take little or no notice of in favour of toeing the party line. Would they still be offering that without UKIP waiting in the wings? No, of course, they would not. And nor would the Conservatives be talking about an in/out referendum in 2017 either. Do you, however, trust the silvertongued wordsmiths to stick to what they say if they are fortunate enough to win the next election. Because I know I do not.

Our politicians are such a deadly-boring bunch that many people do not bother to vote

only have to look at some of the complete numpties we have in the European Parliament to realise there is absolutely no chance of it ever working satisfactorily. So let us have a referendum now, please, and see whether we stay in or not. Let us not defer the pain until 2017. Please can we also be honest in the build-up to a referendum. Perhaps that honesty can be provided by normal folk as well not political wafflers who most of us would not trust to run a bath and who will be interested only in protecting their highly-paid jobs and huge egos.

It needs explaining carefully just how much the Brussels club is actually trying to manage, too. The current European GDP is in excess of 16.5 trillion dollars. Anyone who is in business will know that when lots of small to medium-size businesses are merged or taken over by a larger concern, they more often than not lose their way and service suffers, as staff feel disenfranchised with that personal touch being lost forever. That is what the Brussels club is doing to us. And the sooner we are no longer a member, the better for everyone. Who knows we might even become Great Britain again!

Southern Water supports garden project to help young people grow key job skills

Local hoteliers get hands dirty in a good cause Members of Brighton and Hove Hoteliers' Association displayed true signs of affection for The Whitehawk Inn, one of the city's most important charities. Despite most people's image of the smart and serene men and women who manage big and imposing hotels, sitting behind shiny desks, our city's hoteliers put everything into a hard day's work for a great cause. They undertook many essential tasks

Moulsecoomb Forest Garden and Wildlife Project is based on the outskirts of Brighton. In existence for nearly 20 years, it has grown into an awardwinning and well-respected small charity that brings together a wide range of people from different ages, classes and abilities while offering an outdoor education to pupils that are referred to them. For pupils that struggle in school, they use the garden as an outdoor classroom offering qualifications and youth awards to help them move onto employment and training. This work is individually tailored to each pupil with a high degree of mentoring. The aim is to engage them by working with the environment through a therapeutic process, building confidence, motivation and selfesteem, at the same time raising awareness of the natural world which can then be linked in to education. The pupils have the chance to learn skills such as carpentry, construction, woodland

Andrew Mosley, of The Grand Hotel, and Howard Lewis, of Hilton Brighton Metropole, had made a recce a couple of weeks beforehand and so knew perfectly well what was in store. They then planned and managed the operation, providing not only the workforce, but also the supplies and equipment. The teams were from The Grand Hotel, Hilton Brighton Metropole, Thistle, MyHotel, The Old Ship, and Holiday Inn. Frances Duncan, the director of the charity was amazed at the amount of tasks that filled the day: "They sanded and treated all the benches and tables, mowed the lawn, treated the fence, pruned and weeded the big border, planted up the pots and a new border on the lawn. They provided all the materials and even brought their own elevenses! They were a real asset!"

The accidental hacker, Prince Philip, and Chamber of Commerce breakfast Robert Schifreen was a computer hacker before hacking was even a crime. It is three decades since he made history by accessing a British Telecom computer that contained thousands of mailboxes, including Prince Philip's. “One day in 1983, purely by

accident," he says, "I stumbled across someone’s password that wasn’t mine. I was testing something and I pressed some random keys that turned out to be real. I realised I could see more than I normally could…” And that was how - without meaning to harm anyone - Mr

What the Prestel Viewdata service looked like

Schifreen stumbled into hacking and the history books. At the time, there was no law against hacking, so Mr Schifreen was convicted of forgery. It was later decided that this legislation did not apply to hacking and he successfully appealed against his conviction in 1987. As a result, the Computer Misuse Act was introduced in 1990. Mr Schifreen and a friend, Stephen Gold, were at a trade show, when he looked over the shoulder of a British Telecom Prestel engineer. In an example of what became known as "shouldersurfing", he noticed the engineer had typed in the username of 22222222 and the password of 1234. After returning home, the two men used conventional home computers – linked to a blackand-white television - to gain unauthorised access to the Prestel interactive Viewdata service. In what became a multimillion-pound court case, the two men were tried at Southwark Crown Court in London and were convicted on specimen charges -

five against Mr Schifreen, four against Mr Gold and were fined, £750 and £600, respectively. Although the fines were modest, the pair appealed to the Court of Appeal, where they were acquitted. After the prosecution appealed to the House of Lords, the acquittal was upheld. The curiosity that had led Mr Schifreen to court also shaped the different strands of his career: a journalist specialising in Robert Schifreen: Poacher turned gamekeeper information technology; He will explain what businesses a computer security consultant and commentator; need to think about to protect and, most recently, a member of their IT security and how the the University of Brighton’s IT attitudes to data protection have changed radically in the last 30 department. At a Brighton and Hove years. Chamber of Commerce breakfast next month, Mr Schifreen will talk Robert Schifreen will be speaking about his journey from poacher to at Brighton and Hove Chamber of gamekeeper and how he has used Commerce breakfast at Carluccio’s, his hacking experience to help Jubilee Street, Brighton, on others to protect themselves from Friday, June 27.

Online property searches going from strength to strength with million pound savings Online estate agent I Am The Agent has predicted a landslide shift to digital listings in 2014 after revealing record breaking figures on both sales and lettings for the last 12 months. I Am The Agent has just published its 2013 figures along with predictions for future growth following a budget busting year across both its residential sales and rentals services. The online estate agent - which helps sell and rent properties nationwide confirmed that it rented 4000 properties through its website

Rebecca Peach, managing director

in 2013 – the equivalent of 78 per week or 11 per day. Of these lettings, the UK's landlords saved a total of £3,264,000 on traditional estate agency fees in 2013 thanks to I Am The Agent's fixed fee, no commission policy. The mammoth savings for landlords were coupled with significant savings for vendors - the site sold almost 1000 properties through the year. With no commissions and fixed fee packages for those wanting to sell a property online, vendors also reap the rewards of choosing an online estate agent versus a traditional property expert. In total, those selling a house with I Am The Agent last year saved almost £1 million in commission charges and is the first estate agency to offer a 24/7 tenant and buyer enquiry line. Rebecca Peach, managing director said: "For many people 2013 was fraught with financial challenges with increases in energy prices and the cost of living and continuing unemployment particularly amongst the young.

“We're delighted therefore that we were able to save those with a property to rent and a property to sell to keep much more of the proceeds in their own pockets rather than forking out thousands in estate agent commissions. "With landlords nationwide keeping £3 million + of their money and vendors £2+ million better off from their property sales, our figures are overwhelmingly in favour of selling and renting property online rather than going to a high street office. “Not only this, tenants save to with no agency fees”. The I Am The Agent website also racked up 72,000 active users in 2013, a figure that is made up of those buying and selling, renting and leasing. It is taking this momentum forwards to 2014 with a call to all those with a property to rent out or sell to consider a move to an online estate agent to access substantial savings.

the city is our office Bonett’s

What constitues a ‘good buyer’? If only we could tell at the outset! As you are no doubt aware, it is currently something of a seller’s market, with demand for property out-stripping supply. My first tip to buyers is: when you see the place you like, don’t prevaricate; get on with it. If you like it, someone else may too. If you are thinking there

may be a better property next week or around the corner, when you then return to make an offer 10 days later, the one you liked is often gone…damn! So, what should you as a buyer do when you are ready to make an offer? Your over-riding priority should be to show to the agent you

want to buy through, as clearly and unambiguously as possible, your ability to proceed in a timely manner. Make sure you have your finance in place and know exactly what you can afford including all the disbursements (allied expenses, stamp duty, etc,.) Speed is very important but simplicity and surety are more so. Some buyers are real cash buyers rather than lenders’ cash i.e. mortgagees. However, cash buyers are not always best as, given their strength, they can be fickle if the seller and agent do not dance to their tune. What they forget is that there are other cash buyers out there and in fact, a mortgage buyer can be just as good if they have everything in place to raise the funds promptly. Agents need to choose buyers who will fit as much as possible to their client seller’s timescales regarding actually moving. But

they also need to manage their client sellers’ expectations too as buyers will not hold on forever if the sellers cannot find the absolute ‘perfect property’. Even if sellers have not found somewhere, a buyer should start the buying process going, instruct solicitors, arrange their survey or property valuation and so on. This shows serious intent and often there will be a bit of a rush where the seller suddenly finds just the right place and needs to move quickly. In that case, you are already primed, having the solicitors already working on the pre-contract paperwork and getting your finance and survey done so there are no last minute hitches. Often, sellers tell agents they do not want to put their own property on the market until they have found somewhere to buy. Unfortunately, that does

not always work out. They do not have the money ready to buy and they don’t even know exactly how much they have available, as they have not tested the market and found a buyer. A good agent will find you an able and willing buyer and manage that buyer’s expectations in relation to a chain. This is the most common type of sale, so talk clearly about timescales with your agent if you are selling, and make sure they are advising potential buyers too. So, be clear, be decisive, trust the agent…yes, you have to and if you feel they are not taking you seriously, look at what you are saying. If you are going nowhere, ask to speak to the boss of the firm as they should have the experience to advise you best. Best of luck, Paul Bonett F.N.A.E.A. M.A.R.L.A.

Tips for buying a property to let as an investment At Crosby & Woods we act for many clients who have decided to invest in property as a way of generating a long term regular income whilst also retaining a substantial asset. In the UK we have some of the highest levels of property ownership in the world and there can be no doubt that investing in bricks and

mortar has been, and no doubt always will be, seen as a very solid and hopefully profitable alternative to a pension as a means of funding the future As with all investments there are risks involved but if these are sensibly managed then there is no reason why becoming a buy-to-let

investor should not be an attractive option for many more people to consider. In an article of this length it is impossible to give definitive guidance on this issue and how to be successful as a buy-to-let investor so instead we have simply set out some basic tips based on our professional experience and

Crosby&Woods | SOLICITORS Call: 01273 734 600 Email: advice@crosbywoods.co.uk from also speaking to our clients who have successfully invested in property already. 1. Do an honest self assessment as to your attitude to risk, how much money you have to spend and also whether you are happy to invest long or short term. Property ownership should be viewed as a medium to long term asset. Over time property prices have historically risen quite substantially in Sussex but as the recent recession has shown, never forget the market can have wild swings and depreciations so as a get rich quick scheme this may not be the most prudent option to invest in. 2. Speak to local property experts and estate agents to ascertain what type of property is best suited to the buy-to-let market and in which areas of Brighton & Hove and the surrounding areas it works best in. In short know your target market and area. A reputable letting agent will be able to assist you in finding the right property in the right area for the type of tenants you want. The advice is don’t buy the property you would wish to live in, buy one that has wide spread appeal. Factors such as good schools locally, low crime rate, close proximity to shops, the beach and especially to public transport will be the ones any prospective tenant will be considering and will put value upon. 3. Ascertain what type of tenant you wish to rent to from the start as this should guide you on what type of property to buy and how to furnish it. As a general rule if you want students, a property needs to be easy to clean and affordable; if you want professional(s) then it should be modern and stylish but not over decorated and lastly if it is for a family they will undoubtedly have plenty of their own belongings and so will want a blank canvas to turn it into ‘their’ home. Do remember at all times that this is not the home you will be living in so furnish it so it will appeal to as many potential tenants as possible. 4. In the current era of low interest rates, speak to a good broker or financial advisor to ensure that the maths of buying this form of investment do add up. Interest rates will rise (most commentators believe in early 2015 and realistically then plateau around 3% in the next 12-24 months) and the cost of living is also likely to go up too. It is vital therefore to stress test the finances of any buy-tolet investment to ensure that not only is it affordable and profitable for you now, but that it will also remain so as your costs go up. It is also essential to not think any

future increase in your expenses can be met by simply raising the rent. Firstly rent cannot be arbitrarily and quickly raised and secondly, the property may have a ceiling in terms of the maximum a renter will ever be willing to pay for it. If a small increase in interest rates (say 1-3%) would quickly turn the investment into a loss maker then the advice must be to not proceed. 5. Do decide if you wish to actively manage the property yourself or instead employ an experienced letting agent to do this for you. There are financial savings to be made if you self-manage but against that comes a very considerable administrative and time burden dealing with any maintenance issues that may arise. 6. Do decide if you are happy to prepare your own legal documentation (the DIY off-theshelf paperwork) or whether you feel you will be more reassured by having instructed an experienced solicitor to draw up the paperwork for you. In most cases a tenant will voluntarily vacate when the tenancy ends but there is always a risk that they will refuse to leave, or will not pay the rent due to you, and in these circumstances an application to Court will be needed to get possession and recover any outstanding money owed. In this situation it is likely you will be paying out on your mortgage and not getting in the rent to cover that (and incurring legal and court fees too) so speed is of the essence to ensure your own financial position is not seriously jeopardised by a tenant refusing to pay you. 7. Don’t cut corners to lower expenses and increase profit – the aim of buy-to-let is of course to make money but it comes with legal responsibilities which must be met. There are numerous health and safety regulations that must be complied with by a landlord at all times – some of which include the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and the Electrical Equipment & Safety Regulations. These Regulations impose mandatory things that you must do as a landlord and a failure to ensure they are done can expose you to criminal prosecution. These issues again are all ones that should be considered when deciding if it is economic to be a buy-to-let landlord and also whether you wish to be a handson owner or instead use an experienced agent to manage all issues for you.

Retro, vintage and achingly cool, a café that is a creative city gem @placesieatbtn

Café and Salvage is beautiful, both aesthetically and in ethos. Set up as an independent alternative to Hove’s obsession with corporate coffee shops, this vintage boutique stands out as being the place for the creative souls of Brighton and Hove to relax, chat and work - without a time limit or WiFi charge in sight. Co-run and owned by Meg and Tazz, Café and Salvage opened its doors last September. Former neighbours, the duo initially bonded over their shared love of boot fairs, vintage finds, and salvaged goods. A business partnership formed and Café and Salvage was born. Ranging from crockery to leather sofas, Café and Salvage is as much shop as it is food-and-drink establishment. Meg and Tazz scour antique markets and flea markets to bring an eclectic array of goods for café-goers to browse and purchase. With an ever-revolving collection of furniture, this ensures that no two visits are quite the same. Selling everything from leather sofas to Mona Lisa prints, Café and Salvage is Hove’s own miniature Snoopers Paradise. You can even purchase the teapots, should one

take your fancy. A unique element to this fine independent café. Tazz puts heart and soul into sourcing and organising a mightyfine selection of loose teas. Arranged in beautiful, large jars with an almost Alice-in-Wonderland-like labelling, these teas say nothing but “drink me”. Ranging from black cherry to delicate passion fruit, the teas are served in equally-exquisite and dainty cups and saucers. The coffee is incredibly reasonably priced. A mere £2 will get you your favourite caffeinated beverage with no added charge for extra shots and each cup is made precisely to your liking. Food at Café and Salvage ranges from early-morning American-style pancakes, served with lashings of maple syrup to light lunches, bagels and paninis. All bread is from Real Patisserie and fillings sourced as locally as possible. One of the main draws are the stellar handmade cakes. From traditional carrot cake and rich, gooey fudge cake to Americaninfluenced pumpkin pie and New York cheesecake, each are handmade daily and consistently throughout the day; if one sells out, Meg is seconds away from the kitchen to whip up another. Slices are £3 each and cut big enough to last until your next visit.

With a distinct, livingroom feel, the café is all-inclusive and welcomes babies and dogs with open arms. There are plans to introduce folk evenings and host classical music throughout afternoons.

It is enough to put a smile on the face of even the darkest of creative souls.

It’s somewhere in between a Latte and a Macchiato and it’s been around for a while now we’ve been pretending to know what it is for about a year. The mindless torture of bulls never quite made it big over here, and we’ll never grasp the pronunciation of “paella”, but huge, deep fried, doughy sticks

Pinot Grigio - or Pinot Gris, as it is known in France has become a firm favorite. Its ability to produce wellbalanced, clean flavours of white fruit and honey as well as refreshing acidity means that it finds a place on most good wine lists. The dusty blue-grey fruit are often harvested early in the season to preserve the freshness and acidity that create such dangerouslydrinkable whites. It is most widely grown in the Alsace region of France, where it produces deeply-fruity wines with a delicious spice and buttery finish, as well as in northern Italy, where the wines tend to be less full-bodied and intense. Many very drinkable examples also come out of Australia and New Zealand and even some of America’s northern states. This versatile grape is a variety that, when twinned with fine seafood or white fish, really comes into its own. The acidity of the northern Italian whites - especially those from the Friuli-Veneto regions - bring out the taste of prawns, squid and white meat. Sam Gardom @SamGardom www.feastblog.co.uk

Sussex Active

City-based travel company leads the shift to responsible tourism Tom Gallagher @GallagherTDG

If, like me, you have lived in Brighton too long for your own good, you might remember the rather unpleasant spectacle of a dolphin show. Back in the 1980s, Brighton played home to its own pod of captive dolphins, much to the delight of those who came to see the animals in what was then a very popular show. The shifting moral zeitgeist

A pod of spinner dolphins in the Red Sea

has, quite rightly, witnessed a more enlightened and responsible relationship to animal welfare and it seems incredible to think now that such large mammals were contained in subterranean dank. Brighton has a unique and not altogether positive place in the history of cetacean conservation. So it is apt then that a leading travel company that has focused its energy on the plight of captive whales and dolphins comes from our own city by the sea.

Responsibletravel.com is a pioneer of responsible tourism, has published details of a recent survey that indicates that fewer and fewer of us want to see captive species as part of our holiday. The survey of 2,050 people conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Responsibletravel.com and Born Free Foundation, the international wildlife charity - reveals that awareness of the ethical issues and physical implications of keeping dolphins and whales in captivity is changing public opinion; nearly nine in 10 (86%) said they would not wish to visit a marine park to see the animals. The survey presents some of the issues that blight the captive creatures, including the fact that they are confined to tanks, are fed dead fish, and commonly develop problems such as abnormal repetitive behaviour and aggression. Justin Francis, managing director at responsibletravel.com, said: “For too long, the travel industry has buried its collective head in the sand on this issue. Just as there was a point when circuses’ time was up, the same is happening with orca circuses. It’s clear that the majority of holidaymakers are not interested in these shows for ethical reasons. “The time has come for travel companies, and the representative body ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), to face the facts and stop supporting this irresponsible

form of tourism.” Will Travers, president of the Born Free Foundation, said, “It seems clear that when presented with the information on which to make an informed decision, British travellers have had enough. There are no longer any captive dolphins in the UK and I hope that the result of this survey will hasten the day when there are no captive dolphins kept for public entertainment anywhere in the world. We have a responsibility to make that dream a reality.” Last month, Responsibletravel. com and the World Cetacean Alliance launched a petition to encourage the travel industry to stop supporting killer whale and dolphin shows. The petition has been signed by more than 8,500 individuals, travel companies, charities, non-governmental organisations, and other businesses. A long way has most certainly come since Brighton’s own exploited pod did its best to entertain its audience. And thank goodness for that. But whether the spectre of whales and dolphins held in captivity will ever be consigned to history, as it has been in Brighton, remains to be seen.

Club announces tickets for Sunday fixture at just £1.75 Richard Morris

Sussex fans can catch a day’s cricket for just £1.75 this Sunday as the county celebrates its 175th anniversary. Non-members will be asked to pay just one penny for each of the club’s 175 years for day one of the side’s match against Nottinghamshire, which gets under at the weekend. And as well as an exciting day of action at the BrightonandHoveJobs. com County Ground, the landmark occasion will also be commemorated by a special programme, a vintage car display, a stoolball demonstration during the lunch interval, and a ceremonial cutting of a birthday cake on the outfield. Local firm Mayo Wynne Baxter are backing the event by sponsoring the annual Hove Festival of Cricket which runs between Sunday and Friday next week – taking in the LV=County Championship four day game with Nottinghamshire before climaxing with the NatWest T20 Blast match against Gloucestershire on the Friday. Sunday also signals the start of Sussex’s annual Real Ale Festival which takes place throughout the week and boasts 25 different ales, including a number from Sussexbased brewers. It promises to be an exciting week for cricket fans and the county’s chief executive Zac Toumazi cannot wait for the celebrations to get underway. He told the Brighton & Hove Independent: “This is a very special moment in the club’s history and we are really looking forward to the events that are planned to mark it. “We are especially grateful to the organising committee, under the chairmanship of board member Bob Warren, and all supporters are encouraged to get involved and join us. “We’re very fortunate to have the

support of a company like Mayo Wynne Baxter. The relationship between club and company is one that has grown over the past few years and we’re excited about the start of our festival at Hove with their support.” It certainly is an anniversary worth marking. Formed in 1839, Sussex CCC was the first of the 18 First Class county outfits and followed in the footsteps of Brighton Cricket Club which had previously represented the wider county. There have been four cricket grounds used for matches in Brighton itself – including its current home in Eaton Road, which was acquired from the Stanford Estate Trust in 1871. Before then Sussex had headquarters at The Prince of Wales Ground (Park Crescent today), Temple Fields (where Montpelier Crescent now lies) and the Royal Brunswick Ground (where Third and Fourth Avenues are now). In fact, upon moving to the site of the county’s current home turf from the Royal Brunswick Ground was used to establish the first square to play on. The first county match was played at Eaton Road on June 6 1872 against Gloucestershire. However, as longsuffering Sussex supporters will know only too well, the club did not land its first County Championship until 2003 – a wait of 164 years. That success heralded the start of the county’s most successful

www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk

era – dubbed The Golden Decade by regulars. Sussex reclaimed the County Championship in both 2006 and 2007 – landing the double in the former by pairing the top prize with the C&G. The Pro40 League was added to the county’s list of honours in both 2008 and 2009 – with Sussex’s first Twenty20 title, also arriving in 2009 courtesy of a win against Somerset on a dramatic finals day at Edgbaston. Prior to that decade of almost unprecedented success, Sussex had sampled one-day success in 1963, 1964, 1978 and 1986 – but is was the first years of the new millennium which established Sussex as one of the game’s most competitive counties. This season’s campaign has started encouragingly – with the side having won two and drawn two in Division One of the County Championship and two from three in the southern section of the T20 Blast group stages. The visit of Nottinghamshire on Sunday promises to be a keenly contested fixture, with the East Midland outfit six points better off than the home side but having played a game more. More information on the anniversary celebrations and tickets are available online at www.sussexcricket.co.uk or by calling the ticket office on 0844 264 0206. The £1.75 tickets need to be booked in advance.

MIKE DONOVAN

Straight from Brighton Racecourse Marmite? You either love it or hate it. Well, Ed Arkell, Brighton’s clerk of the course, loves it. And it will be part of his early breakfast this morning as he fuels himself for the reviving course’s third and final May raceday in the afternoon. Arkell, in his fifth year, said to the Brighton and Hove Independent: “It’s always the same. Two pieces of toast and Marmite in the stable lads’ canteen. It gives me the energy I need.” The 33-year-old, once the country’s youngest clerk, will be flat out to ensure an encouraging start to Race Hill’s season gets even better. His alarm goes off at Silly O’Clock at his home near Fontwell Park, where he is also clerk, before a familiar drive along the A27. He will walk the course at about 5.30 before informing the media within the hour of the conditions. After a little paperwork, Arkell will breakfast before liaising with owners and

trainers with queries. He checks on the scheduled doctors, veterinary surgeons and course ambulances to ensure “a great level of medical care is available”. Arkell said: “Safety of the competitors both human and equine is paramount. It is the most important part of my job.” He will walk the course again half-an-hour before with the chair of the stewards (“another pair of eyes”) and attend a briefing with stewards. Arkell will ping around like a pinball between the weighing room, parade ring and stewards box, chatting to trainers, jockeys, owners, stewards, whoever during racing to guarantee edges are smoothed. He is confident the trend for decent attendances this campaign will be reflected. Arkell said: “We’ve had good atmospheres at meetings this year. Advanced ticket sales have been good, the track is in fantastic condition and we are refurbishing.”

Seagulls meeting with managerial candidates as efforts to replace Oscar Garcia gather pace Richard Morris

Brighton and Hove Albion have stepped up their efforts to recruit a replacement for Oscar Garcia – with the Seagulls expected to continue meeting with candidates over the coming days. Fans have been anxiously awaiting news of the club’s next manager since Oscar’s resignation, but the Albion hierarchy are insistent the club will take its time over the decision. Speaking earlier this week, Albion chief executive Paul Barber told supporters: “Our aim is to conclude things as efficiently as possible. The most important thing is not the speed of the appointment - it is about ensuring we find the right candidate that meets our criteria for the next stage of the Albion’s development.” And he gave a hint – albeit a vague, apparently allencompassing one – over the identity of the applicants. “Tony Bloom and I will be holding initial meetings with the candidates,” he said, “who are a mix of British and foreign,

experienced and emerging, managers and coaches - over the course of the next few days. “We’re delighted at the calibre of the individuals interested in our vacancy. We have spent the past week or so measuring people against our criteria and we now have an excellent short-list.” Just who is on that shortlist remains unknown but Paul Clement – an assistant coach at Real Madrid – appears to have ruled himself out following his side’s recent Champions League win. The Albion’s best hopes of appointing the up-and-coming British coach may have been for Real to lose in the final and dispense of their current coaching team. Tim Sherwood remains the favourite with the bookies but the possibility of the former Spurs man taking over at The Amex has received a somewhat lukewarm reaction from sections of the Seagulls support. He also denied having had any contact with the Albion during a recent radio appearance – although of course that does not mean he has not subsequently spoken to the club. Former Norwich City manager Chris Hughton remains among

the front-runners and could be seen as a relatively safe bet by the Seagulls board. He has experience managing in the Championship and his understated, dignified style may appeal to a club no doubt keen to avoid another manager speaking out against budget restrictions and the financial struggles generated by Financial Fair Play restrictions. Phil Neville is another believed to be on the short-list. He moved from Everton to Manchester United with since dethroned David Moyes and his Old Trafford future is uncertain following the appointment of Louis van Gaal. The feeling in Manchester is that the Dutchman will want to bring his own coaching team with him. Neville was also widely reported to have been considered for the Albion job when Gus Poyet left last summer. There were even suggestions in the national press that Neville made it as far as an interview before eventually losing out to Oscar. Another 12 months coaching at a top Premier League club will have done his chances of securing a first management job no harm at all. Former Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay was initially among the

Chris Hughton, Paul Clement, Neil Lennon, and Tim Sherwood are four potentials

favourites but is more likely to pursue interest in Premier League jobs, including the recently-vacated Southampton job – coincidentally a role Oscar is now being heavily linked with. Mackay took Cardiff up but on a substantially higher playing budget than any new manager will be offered at The Amex and would prefer an immediate return to top flight management. Neil Lennon and Steve Clarke are others who have seen their names linked to the Albion hotseat – with Clarke particularly thought to be a good fit for the

Seagulls. And one final name causing a flutter of interest from Seagulls fans is Remi Garde. The former Arsenal player recently called time on a three year spell at the helm of French club Lyon and has publically said he intends to take a break from football. However, reports in the national press yesterday (Thursday) suggested the Albion are keen to speak to him in a bid to provoke a U-turn and sell the prospect of marshalling another assault on promotion a short hop over the Channel in sunny Sussex.

Jobs fairs are a great opportunity to get your foot onto a career ladder. For graduates and college-leavers fairs provide an important chance to talk to potential employers, but getting face-to-face with companies is not only valuable to first-time jobseekers. Jobs fairs are perfect places to make contacts and look for the next step on the ladder; whether you’re junior, graduate, middle-weight or senior. They help with understanding not only what companies do, but also what they’re looking for.

Alongside some amazing exhibitors (a full list is included in this guide on page 5), we are running a comprehensive programme of talks, workshops and advice sessions. It’s a one-stop-shop for everything you need to kick-start or grow your career in Digital, Media or Technology.

The local digital, media and technology sector is growing fast and innovating constantly. To more and more people, it provides a rewarding and fulfilling career. It requires people with special skills and the right aptitude. From Programming to User Experience, from Digital Marketing to Graphic Design, the industry celebrates companies who are right on the edge of new developments, and embraces people with passion for what they do. So whether you’ve always made films, have drawn before you could write, are fascinated by computers and how they work, or even if you just want to be a part of this exciting sector in your current capacity, this is the jobs fair for you. www.brightonjobsfair.co.uk
