Greg Hadfield @BrightonIndy On average, they could have spent more than twice as much as they did, in their ambition to be city councillors. The £62,977.88 spent by the 162 council candidates from the three main parties is, of course, only a fraction of the £243,999 spent by the parties’ nine parliamentary candidates in the general election campaign (as revealed in last week’s Brighton & Hove Independent). How much council candidates are allowed to spend depends on the size of the electorate in the wards in which they stand. In a populous three-councillor ward such as St Peter’s and North Laine, a party’s trio can spend more than £3,000 between them. In a less-populous two-councillor ward, such as Central Hove, it can be as little as £1,737. Often, the amount spent depends on the priority a particular party gives to a ward. Why spend a fortune on a no-hope ward? But why stint on a ward that is a must-win ward? Complexity is added by election regulations that mean a citywide party can perfectly lawfully allocate “notional” expenditure to individual wards for specific purposes - for

£3,952,41 £3,982.38 £3,759.69 £2,137.92

example, leaflets devoted largely to a parliamentary candidate, but which gives a passing mention to three council candidates. Some of the cost counts against the parliamentary candidate’s allowance; some counts against the allowances for the council candidates. So what do the figures tell us? Interestingly, Labour seems to have spent the most in two of their safest wards: Moulsecoomb and Bevendean (£2,483.96) and East Brighton (£2,162.94), represented by Warren Morgan, the council leader, and Gill Mitchell, his deputy. Meanwhile, the Greens secured their stronghold in St Peter’s and North Laine - in Caroline Lucas’s constituency, of course - with a table-topping investment of £3,024.51. The Conservatives spent the most in Central Hove (£1,299.38), Withdean (£1,089.87), and Rottingdean Coastal (£1,031.49) where they won eight out of nine seats. Central Hove was a costly disappointment. In total, Labour candidates spent £18,596.54, Conservatives spent £13,687.03, and Green candidates spent £30,694.31. So who got the best value for money? You pay your money and you make your choice

City College hosts end-of-year show City College Brighton and Hove’s Centre for Visual Arts End of Year Show is being held in the college’s York and Trafalgar buildings in Pelham Street for four days from today (Friday). From a department graded “outstanding” by Ofsted, the final projects from more than 400 students who complete their courses this year will be exhibited. They will include a range of different creative work, including photography, fine art, games development, fashion, textiles, graphics, illustration, and 3-D design. The exhibition has already received an enthusiastic response from Peter Heslip, the Arts Council’s director of visual arts and London. Mr Heslip said: “I’m impressed not just by the standard of the work on display but also the quality of the ideas and the sense of the experimentation that comes across in the students’ working process. The essence of great art is an unfettered freedom for risktaking. “The students here are given the opportunity to cover a lot of ground very quickly. The facilities

are also impressive in terms of the sheer scale and fit-out of the workshops not to mention access to other disciplines such as science labs. It’s clear that the Art Foundation programme is absolutely what’s needed in terms of launching our next generation of artists and creative industries professionals.” The End of Year Show is open to the public today (Friday) 10am5pm; tomorrow (Saturday), 10am2pm; Monday and Tuesday (June 22 and 23), 10am-8pm. Admission is free.

Shoreham College – Looking ahead to a bright future for all Shoreham College is a school that cares – it values its children as individuals, knows them well, and ensures that they feel safe, secure and happy. Within a warm friendly environment it instils traditional values of good manners and courtesy, and teaches the children to respect themselves, their peers and their community. Blending enthusiastic pupils, inspiring teachers and supportive parents, it is able to achieve something special: happy children who are not afraid to get things wrong and are therefore able to experience the joy of learning. Shoreham College believes that a happy child in a family environment will flourish; the teachers enjoy coming into school every day and so do the pupils.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Aaron Smith feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just

about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Brighton, Hove & the surrounding areas

and Aaron is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and

family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Aaron a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

@BrightonIndy

Why I am stepping down Penny Thompson @penny_thompson

I am stepping down from the role of chief executive officer (CEO) of Brighton and Hove City Council. It has not been an easy decision. I don’t think my work is finished; but I do think it’s for the best. We have a new Labour administration in the council. The council wants to appoint a new CEO. I leave a strong, competent, highly-motivated executive leadership team - and I hope that they can continue to deliver on the council’s ambitious and tough agenda. I am pleased that the administration recognises my huge contribution to the council and city over the past two-and-a-half years. I am certainly proud of our corporate plan and budget delivery and a number of key achievements besides. Firstly, I leave an organisation with a culture underpinned by sound values and focused on high performance in the interests of all citizens and the city. It is a far happier, more open, empowered organisation than the one I joined in November 2012. Our recent silver award of Investors in People is testimony to that. I hope the council keeps going with the culture change and performance with consequence agenda that we have embarked upon. It is essential underpinning for a modernising, co-operative council facing huge financial challenges. Secondly, I leave an organisation that wants the same thing as its partners: private, public and voluntary. This is a shared commitment to a vibrant economy benefiting everyone (housing and jobs being key ambitions); a good life (irrespective of age); a well- run city (safe, clean, and moving) and a modern council - all combining to keep Brighton and Hove a fantastic city in which to live, work and visit. And there is evidence of progress. On top of our Greater Brighton City Deal last year, we won the Local Government Chronicle Growth Award for 2015 - being among the top-performing Key City regions with a developing >> Continued from page 1 months, our newly-elected council will now be largely rudderless in the stormy seas of Conservative-imposed, Labour-sanctioned austerity. Shortly after yesterday’s 90-minute secret meeting , Brighton and Hove City Council issued a statement: “Warren Morgan, leader of the council said: ‘I’d like to thank Penny on behalf of the council for her significant contribution to Brighton & Hove over the past three years, and for steering the authority through a difficult period.‘“

digital economy, a vibrant and renowned cultural offer, and falling numbers of unemployed. We have a number of exciting developments in the pipeline, among them the i360, King Alfred, and Waterfront developments. Of course, there remain challenges: the reducing budget; rising needs; and insufficient housing supply are just some of them. Over the next few years, however, the council will be associated with keeping the city changing and developing. Thirdly, I am proud that we are prioritising fairness for our most vulnerable citizens. Equality is the theme of our energetic and creative director of public health’s annual report this year. Under the leadership of our executive director of children’s services, we are properly attending to the experience of children at risk, children in care, children in education, and those with a disability. The forthcoming Ofsted report

renewal of our refuse recycling and parks services. These services in neighbourhoods are so visible and valued by citizens. Finally, I have sought to ensure that the council pursues equality for all including those quieter voices. As equalities champion, I have modelled our values and pursued an approach which supports all protected groups to be heard and the development of the “One Voice” group stands as testimony to that. I came into the role of chief executive clear that I would take up the post only if I were the first choice of all three leaders on the council. I have greatly relished the opportunity to work for those leaders and indeed for all 54 councillors. I am a longstanding and committed public servant who completes 40 years of public service this summer. I will miss all the people I have worked with in the council, the city, and beyond. And I trust that they

I leave an organisation with a culture underpinned by sound values and focused on high performance in the interests of all citizens” will provide evidence of a journey well underway...not finished. Our health and wellbeing partnership, between the council and health, is tackling the challenges of an ageing population and high numbers of citizens with significant mental health needs or managing the ravages of drugs and alcohol. I am pleased that we have developed a profound understanding of the seamlessness required between health and social care and between prevention, primary, secondary. and tertiary services. My role has been one of championing system leadership between the council and the health service and I do hope that this agenda continues to be prioritised and to flourish. Fourthly, I personally led negotiations to resolve a longstanding equal pay issue for the council. Painful though those negotiations were, the resolution of this significant issue has enabled the council to undertake a forwardlooking agenda of redesign and

will continue to do a great job for this fantastic city. I want to pay special tribute to my fellow senior managers in the city management board, and to my own executive leadership team, whose support and challenge I have always valued. Let me end, sure in the certain knowledge that I leave behind an organisation in better shape than the one I joined. I have worked unstintingly during my time as chief executive of Brighton and Hove City Council to be an #openCEO, setting a learning culture, and modelling accountable managerial leadership. I have appreciated the fellowship of so many who have signed up to our learning and improvement journey. I hope that many of those friendships will be sustained into whatever comes next. Penny Thompson has been chief executive of Brighton and Hove City Council since December 2012. She will leave on Tuesday, June 30.

• SKIN CLEANSING

The backlash was swift. The Green Group of councillors condemned the removal of Ms Thompson, calling it a “clumsy and costly mistake”. Councillor Phélim Mac Cafferty, convenor of the Green Group, said: “The Leader of the Council was not able to give us a stronger reason than a spat with the Chief Executive to end their employment. If there were problems between the Chief Exec and the new Labour administration then surely any Leader worth their salt would resolve problems to avoid costly mistakes? “

Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, leader of the Conservative Group said: “It seems strange that the new incoming Labour Administration has decided so soon that they want a new Chief Executive.“ Finally, Jason Kitcat, the former council leader, struck a personal note. He said: “Penny’s record of public service and delivery is impeccable. She has been totally apolitical and a huge talent for the city’s greater good.” There’s nothing more we really need to know.

When it comes to choosing cosmetic treatments it would be easy to get confused. That is why Jackie Knight set up A New You in Brighton; to offer an unbiased and straightforward service that ensures everyone is well informed about what is available, and most suited, to them. Jackie, a Registered Nurse with over 20 years’ experience in the cosmetic surgery industry, says many of her clients are looking to feel and look better without going under the knife. “Most people who come to see me want to freshen up in some way, to put a bit of life back where they have spotted signs of ageing,’ she said.

Jackie added that some clients, at first, have been put off by celebrity face lifts who have had obvious work done, resulting in an unnatural face or ‘trout pouts.’ All treatments are only available at A New You after an in-depth consultation where Jackie and her team will ensure they know exactly what you are looking for. ‘We often suggest that some treatments are performed over two sessions or a course to avoid using too much product. This is particularly the case with filler to the lips, as subtle looks are considered very youthful and are frequently requested. We respond to our clients and create the natural look rather than something that looks overdone.’

DERMAL FILLERS for lines & wrinkles

3D-LIPO for fat & cellulite reduction

BODY TREATMENTS It isn’t just the face that can benefit from non-surgical treatments. Among the most common conditions are stubborn fat and cellulite, for which Jackie recommends 3D-lipo. ‘3D-lipo utilises advanced nonsurgical technology to target and reduce fat cells. It includes vacuum rollering which can reduce cellulite by increasing blood supply and lymphatic circulation,’ she said. For legs that need a bit of TLC, A New You offers foam injections otherwise known as Sclerotherapy to treat small broken veins. Stretch marks can be improved by a needling technique and prescription based creams. These are just examples, there are other treatments available.

CHOOSING A CLINIC The first part of choosing a treatment is choosing the right clinic to offer advice and to carry out any procedures. Look for a clinic that is registered with the Care Quality Commission as a must, and Save Face accreditation is preferable.

AFTER of time is taken to understand your needs and what look or effect you are trying to achieve,’ Jackie advises. ‘It is your body and you know what you are aiming to achieve. Don’t be pushed into something you don’t want and make sure you feel confident you’re getting the treatment and result you want. If you don’t feel comfortable going ahead then don’t proceed.’ She also advises checking on the after-care offered and that you have full details of any potential sideeffects. ‘There are always risks with any type of procedure and it is essential that clients are fully informed before making the decision to go ahead.’ Jackie and her team at A New You offer confidential, independent advice and consultations. ‘Whatever your concerns about treatments please come and talk to us without obligation.’ Why not get in touch with the team now by calling 01273 604444.

‘It is essential the practitioners have appropriate qualifications and experience. Take the time to find out what these are, wherever you go. Secondly it is imperative that plenty

Give a dog a home campaign

AWARD WINNING! Exceptional childcare in Hove for children 0 – 5

Brighton & Hove Independent has teamed up with New Priory Vets, Vets 2 Home, and Dogs Trust Shoreham to help find homes for some of Brighton and Hove’s unwanted dogs. This week is Kerry.

www.dogstrust.org.uk

Factfile: “Kerry is a very pretty 6 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier. “She is a huge favourite with both staff and volunteers as she’s such a sweetie. “ Kerry is looking for a home with a confident and calm dog to help her settle in and allow owners to start working up to leaving her alone as this isn’t something she is comfortable with at present. “ New owners will need to continue her training as although she is very friendly with people including strangers, she does sometimes forget her manners. “ Kerry enjoys keeping fit and would really benefit from owners who enjoy long walks and generally keeping busy.”

Licensing scheme for thousands more shared homes Frank le Duc @BHcitynews A licensing scheme has been extended to thousands more shared houses and flats across Brighton and Hove. Councillors have agreed to extend the scheme from five of the 21 wards in Brighton and Hove to seven more. The scheme will cover Brunswick and Adelaide, Central Hove, East Brighton, Goldsmid, Preston Park, Regency and Westbourne from Monday 2 November. It already covers Hanover and Elm Grove, Hollingdean and Stanmer, Moulsecoomb and Bevendean, Queen’s Park and St Peter’s and North Laine. A report to members of the Brighton and Hove City Council Housing and New Homes Committee said: “There are an estimated 6,460 houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in the city, nine times the national average for this type of housing.” Some, larger HMOs, already have to be licensed under national rules. The law applies if they are three or more storeys high and home to five or more people who are not related to each other. The report to councillors said: “The mandatory licensing scheme has been in operation in Brighton and Hove since 2006. “The council currently license, or have licence applications for, 1,030 larger houses in multiple occupation across the city.” The committee also agreed to put up the licence fees for the first time in five years.The rises take effect from Saturday, August 1. Charities will remain exempt.

The Albion Roar Alan Wares @albionroar As I write this, on Sussex Day (June 16), Sussex County Cricket Club is being as generous and hospitable to its visitors – on and off the pitch – as any South Saxon is ever famed for. Meanwhile, our best wishes go to Surrey’s Rory Burns and Moises Henriques, injured in a sickening collision in the T20 match at Arundel last Sunday. The medical staff were on pitch

for 45 minutes for the two players knocked unconscious on the boundary while going for a catch. Thankfully, both waved to the crowd when being lifted into the ambulance and the prognosis is good. For a full report, see Mark’s column opposite. Tune into Radio Reverb, 97.2FM, online at www.radioreverb.com, or via the podcast on iTunes and www.albionroar.co.uk.

We will never, ever forget Dan Tester @BHIndyAlbion Last week David Bellotti passed away, aged 71. In Sussex, he will always be remembered as the man who presided over the systematic destruction of our football club in the mid-1990s. As chief executive of Brighton & Hove Albion, he was the mouthpiece of despised chairman, Bill Archer, who lived over 200 miles from the Goldstone Ground. The former owner of Focus DIY never ventured anywhere near ‘his’ football club and, with a little help from Greg Stanley, sold Albion’s home of 97 years without building – or even securing a site – a new stadium. An outsider looking in may suggest that as Bill Archer owned the club, he could do what he liked. But, the Albion’s articles of association prohibited anyone

from profiteering from the sale of the Goldstone. Fortunately, our club has many passionate supporters and when one such fan, accountant Paul Samrah, discovered this information… all

hell broke loose. As Archer probably didn’t even know where Brighton is, general day-to-day fire fighting and downright lying was left to the meek, mild and bespectacled David

Albion fans sending a message to the hated regime

Fast, eﬃcient and friendly

Bellotti. The former Lib Dem MP, utilising the skills he undoubtedly honed as a politician, i.e. the ability to tell whopping great porkies, dealt with a level of abuse unprecedented in modern football. It was justified. He was supposed to be one of us, an Albion fan since the early 1970s. From 1995 to 1997, frustration

test for Hughton’s men, with matches against Derby, QPR, Middlesbrough, a Boxing Day clash with Brentford and Ipswich, followed by the first game of 2016 against Wolves. Fans hoping for a nice end to the campaign will have been left disappointed, as for the second season in a row, Albion will make their longest trip of the season, Middlesbrough away, for the final league game. Whilst many fixtures are subject to change, at a first glance it’s fair to say that the Championship is shaping up to be as tough as it’s ever been. Where Brighton will fit in terms of the league table is hard to call at this point, with the squad yet to truly take shape. Come August 8th, we’ll start to get a better idea of how the season will look.

regularly boiled over as thousands of fans sung their disapproval every game, invading the pitch and occasionally storming the directors’ box to chase the unwanted Bellotti away. Such was the potential threat to his safety, a bodyguard was hired but he still – unbelievably – attended games. The hide of rhinoceros doesn’t come close. In his death, it’s important to remember he was a puppet, carrying out Archer’s orders.Yes, he wasn’t particularly pleasant, and he very nearly helped destroy the club we all love. But, we survived. We survived because we all stuck together to root out the evil. We survived because Dick Knight – a true Albion fan – took over, ousting the hated Bellotti and Archer. It is hard to say anything nice about Bellotti but he is no longer with us, and he was a human being, with family and friends. His passing, to me, simply serves as a reminder of our traumatic past. And that should never be forgotten.
