A SNAPSHOT OF OUR CITY
FOOD AND DRINK
A growing population, squeezed into every spare hectare; a diverse population, with one in five citizens from a black or minority ethnic background. Relatively small households, with fewer children and fewer older people than elsewhere. A lot of students and a lot of people aged 20 to 44. Substantial prosperity and high levels of satisfaction with everyday life. But pockets of significant deprivation, with nearly one in five children living in poverty.
Welcome to Brighton and Hove in 2014. A remarkable report, compiled by the corporate policy and research team at Brighton and Hove City Council, provides a fascinating insight into the opportunities and challenges facing our city. The 28-page summary - entitled Brighton and Hove City Snapshot - pulls together the most-up-todate statistics about who lives here, what their lives are like, and the challenges they face. With the help of graphs, charts and images, it reflects the vibrancy and diversity of a 21st-century city - albeit one that is inevitably fragmented and disparate in its composition.
A stunning two-page "infographic" in today's Brighton & Hove Independent aims at summarising many of the findings (See pages 20 and 21). Key statistics relate to population, neighbourhoods, ethnicity, sexuality, older people, children and young people, families, health and wellbeing, housing, transport and infrastructure, community safety, environment, culture and leisure, business and enterprise, employment and skills, and investment and development. A selection of findings include: â– Our city had the highest number of people in same-sex >> Continued on page 3

From The Coal Shed to The Salt Room: Ambitious plan for seafront restaurant
Architect's drawing of what The Salt Room would look like
One of the city’s top restaurateurs has unveiled ambitious plans to open a new business and transform a prime seafront site. Raz Helalat runs the hugelypopular Coal Shed in Boyces Street and has won plaudits for the restaurant's gourmet steak and seafood menu. The Coal Shed was named as one of the best restaurants in the country by The Observer
newspaper and has become a firm favourite with local foodies. Mr Helalat now has his sights set on establishing a new restaurant on Kings Road, in the part of the Hilton Brighton Metropole building that currently houses Bar 106. Detailed plans have been submitted to the city council for the restaurant that will specialise in modern British dining and be called The Salt Room.
The plan comes as a welcome boost to the area ahead of the i360 development being built on the nearby seafront stretch. The area is set to be re-branded as a cultural and creative quarter by the city council. A number of refurbished retail units in the archways under the promenade have started being leased to traders, with many having already moved in.

Homes - debate deferred Cinema plans approved
£2 billion wind farm
A debate on where to build thousands of new homes around Brighton and Hove has been put back until the autumn. As revealed by Brighton & Hove Independent, the city council has earmarked 39 sites across the city on which 1,180 homes could be built. It led to calls from Chris Todd, of Friends of the Earth, urging councillors to safeguard the city’s green spaces on last week’s front page. A planned debate, however, was deferred.
Energy giant Eon has been given permission to build a £2 billion wind farm eight miles off the coast of Brighton. The Rampion Offshore Wind Farm is expected to create 750 jobs and generate enough electricity to power 450,000 homes. Ed Davey, the Government’s energy and climate secretary, approved the plans for what will be the first off-shore wind farm on the south coast. It will be home to between 100 and 175 turbines.
The Hippodrome will be converted into an eight-screen cinema despite widespread opposition. Councillors approved an application to redevelop the site, which was last used as a theatre back in 1965, and developers also plan on included four cafés or restaurants, retail space and a three-story office building. Thousands of people signed a petition objected to the designs for the Grade II listed building, with more than 150 objectors writing to the council to voice their concerns.
Cost of March for England is revealed The March for England in April could have cost traders in the city millions of pounds in lost business A questionnaire from the citycentre's Business Improvement District asked businesses if they had closed during the event and what the financial impact was. The total loss to those that responded was calculated to be between £109,300 and £162,500. Tony Mernagh, chief executive at the Brighton and Hove Economic partnership, said: "Extrapolate those numbers out to the thousands of businesses within the city centre and the real loss could well be in the millions." Gavin Stewart, manager of the Business Improvement District, said: "The findings are yet to be discussed by the Tourism
Advisory Board. However, it is hoped that local agencies will listen to the call from the business community to address the issues caused by the march and seek to find solutions to what has become a blot on the annual calendar of events for the city." An estimated 140 people took part in the nationalist march on April 27; about 400 anti-fascists opposed the march, which is thought to have cost up to £500,000 to police. ■ Four more men have been arrested for brawling in the street after the march. The arrests were made in the last week after Sussex Police published CCTV images of 11 people suspected of taking part in the violence.

Campaigners celebrate anti-academy victories Campaigners against Hove Park School becoming an academy have scored two significant victories. Three candidates who opposed conversion of the school won seats on the governing body. The longstanding vacancies were filled by Hands Off Hove Park School campaigners, Sarah Arjun and Mark Radcliffe – along with Andrew Whippey, whose candidate statement indicated he was against academy conversion. The election results - which coincided with a strike by teachers opposed to the plans - came only a day after 71% of parents voted against the academy plans in a (non-binding) council-run ballot. The parental ballot revealed 387 of the 544 respondents were opposed to academy status. The council sent out 1,528 ballot papers, with a return rate of 35.6%. Peter Kyle, the Labour parliamentary candidate for Hove and a former governor at Portslade Aldridge Academy and chair of Brighton Aldridge Academy - said: “25% of parents have registered opposition to academy status via the council-orchestrated ballot and I am confident this will be taken into consideration by Hove Park governors as part of a wideranging consultation. I hope more than anything that politicians and campaigners from outside of the Hove Park community will now respect the need for parents, governors, and teachers to conclude
this difficult process with a period of calm in order to fully engage with the local opportunities and concerns that have been thrown up by this debate.” Councillor Andrew Wealls, Conservative Group spokesperson, thanked parents and carers: “The ballot will feed into the wider ongoing consultation and will form part of the information that the headteacher and governors will need to digest in order to come to a final decision.” Councillor Christopher Hawtree, the Green councilor who represents Central Hove, said: “Naturally, I am delighted at both the resounding voice of the parental ballot and their winning those three places on the board of governors which had been mysteriously empty." A decision by governors about an academy application is expected on September 22.
Housing
Charity
Bedroom tax swaps
Venues wanted
Thirty five families have moved house since April as a result of bedroom tax. Brighton and Hove City Council has revealed that in the last year 200 households have swapped council properties. The local authority says hundreds of tenants are struggling financially after benefit reductions took effect penalising those deemed to have spare bedrooms. At the same time, many families are in need of bigger homes, which is why the council is trying to get people to sign-up for a scheme which matches families who would benefit from a house swap. Councillor Bill Randall, chair of housing, said: “Brighton and Hove is already facing a rising tide of homelessness and a growing demand for affordable housing. Now hundreds of council households are dealing with the added dilemma of whether to pay more every week for a spare room, find a lodger, or move. “The council is doing everything it can to help these households and in most cases families are really happy with their move.”
Cafés, coffee shops, pubs and other venues in Brighton and Hove are being asked to take part in a charity fundraiser a week today (Friday). Local radio station Juice 107.2 has organized Brighton’s Biggest Breakfast on Friday, July 25, and is calling on more venues to pledge their support. Venues throughout the city will be donate a percentage of their daily profits to the station’s Juice Appeal and encourage customers to leave their change in donation buckets – with proceeds going to support a pair of local good causes: Fun In Action and the Brighton Unemployment Centre Families Project. Pippa Atkinson, Juice Appeal founder, said: “This is the first-ever Brighton’s Biggest Breakfast event and we’re thrilled with participation so far. “Everyone we’ve approached has been really supportive and keen to get involved. Of course the more venues that take part, the more we will raise for our charities; there’s no restriction on numbers so we’d love for any interested food venues to get in touch.”
Caroline Lucas secures pre-election book deal Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, will release a book about her experiences of parliament before next year’s general election. Portobello Books will publish the book, called No Honourable Friends: Parliament and the Fight for Change by Caroline Lucas, Britain’s first Green MP, after securing the rights from Ms Lucas’s literary agent Bill Hamilton. The book has been billed as part diary, part scathing analysis of the failure of the parliamentary
system, and will make interesting reading in the run-up to what is expected to be a hotly-contested election. Max Porter, senior editor at Portobello, said the publisher was looking forward to releasing Ms Lucas’s story. He said: “Caroline Lucas is a radical, inspiring and trustworthy politician of singular energy and integrity. “No Honourable Friends will combine insights into the working life an MP with a much-needed
Green councillor Christopher Hawtree welcomed the ballot results
critique of the way we are governed. “Free from the finger-pointing polemics and rampant hypocrisy of most political books, Caroline’s book will be required reading for anybody interested in how the country works, and how it might work better.” Ms Lucas became Britain’s first Green MP when she won in Brighton Pavilion at the last election and has hit headlines during her time in parliament, not least through her determined antifracking stance.

Domestic abuse, sex and consent and the way women are represented in the media are among an array of topics being explored tonight (Friday) and tomorrow at Brighton Dome. Arts collective Miss Represented, which has been put together as part of Brighton Festival, will attempt to use art to provide an insight into a range of issues facing women today. And it promises to be a unique cross-art performance coming from a unique perspective because each of the women involved are either vulnerable young women who have been involved in the criminal justice system, or isolated women from the local community. The purpose of the project is to inspire socially excluded young women and raise their aspirations by allowing them to take part in a meaningful and reflective exploration of the issues which have affected their lives. Key to that aim is the way organisers have used the arts as a safe and reassuring environment to act as a starting point, encouraging self-expression where perhaps it has been denied the participants in other parts of their lives. The results have been impressive. Through Miss Represented, the women have taken part in a range of projects, with the end product being a
number of exhibitions, events and performances of high artistic quality. This weekend sees the latest of these take place at Brighton Dome, with a trio of energetic and powerful performances taking place over the course of the next two days. The young women taking part have been working on themes of love, family, boundaries, forgiveness and friendship and, according to Rebecca Fidler, creative learning manager at Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival, they have created “a refreshing and exhilarating piece of personal performance. Ms Fiddler is enthusiastic about the impact Miss Represented has had on both the people taking part and the audiences of a performance built around “the voices you never hear, but should”. She said: “Miss Represented seeks to shine a light on the children and young people whose humanity, intelligence and talents have been obscured by simplistic labels and a lack of opportunity to discover their potential. “The scheme encourages young women to reclaim the tools of the media and the arts to tell their own stories and dismantle some of the myths and stereotypes surrounding young people.” As well as being a useful route towards self-exploration and empowerment, Miss Represented also places an important emphasis on progression among
its participants. The workshops which have taken place throughout the year, in artistic fields including photography, fashion, drama and dance, serve another purpose: that of creating potential pathways to further education, employment or apprenticeship schemes. Despite its quality, Miss Represented is far from a case of art for art’s sake. It genuinely looks to chance the lives of the women taking part. Ms Fiddler continued: “The project promotes the young people positively in their community, creating vital dialogue towards greater understanding and greater inclusivity and makes the young people visible in their community in a positive light.” Miss Represented is at the Brighton Dome’s studio theatre tonight (Friday) at 7.30pm and tomorrow at 2.30pm and 7.30pm. Entry is via donation. More information is available online at: wwwbrightondome.org.
Preston Barracks sale agreed ahead of development The £150 million redevelopment of Preston Barracks has moved a step closer, with Brighton and Hove City Council exchanging contracts with the University of Brighton and its developers. The university is working with Cathedral Group Ltd to revamp the council-owned site and its neighbouring university building, with ambitious plans to add accommodation for 1,300 students, 350 new homes - with 20% affordable housing - and 25,000 square foot of retail space. This week’s signed agreement means the council will sell the freehold of Preston Barracks site to the university, with a lease
agreed for Cathedral to develop the site. It follows an announcement of £7.7 million in new government funding earmarked for the development which comes as part of a wider £17.4 million financial commitment to the university. Subsequent detailed plans will still require planning permission, but if given the goahead the scheme is estimated to create 740 new jobs over the next ten years. Central to that hope will be a new business centre with cutting-edge facilities to support new high-tech and design-
led manufacturing start-up companies. The university and Cathedral Group are working with awardwinning architects Hawkins Brown and Studio Egret West, as well as Brighton-based designers and architects We Like Today. Professor Julian Crampton, vice-chancellor of the University of Brighton, said: “This is a very exciting proposal for the city and for the University of Brighton – one which will create a permeable and attractive location which generates jobs and economic benefit to the city, and one which will alleviate pressure on the private housing market.”

New website will help Youth Collective support more teenagers Richard Morris @BrightonIndy A youth service which acts as a one-stop shop for teenagers in Brighton and Hove is hoping its new website will encourage even more young people to get in touch. The Brighton and Hove Youth Collective co-ordinates a range of support services and events aimed at locals aged between 13 and 19, including clubs, advice groups and counselling sessions. And this month it has launched its brand new website, www.brightonandhoveyouth collective.org.uk, which has been part-designed by young people from across the city. The collective is made up of eight well-known local youth organisations: Brighton Youth Centre, The Crew Club, The Deans Youth Project, Hangleton and Knoll Project, Tarner Community Project, The Trust for Developing Communities, Sussex Central YMCA and the Young People’s Centre (YPC). Back in October 2012 these groups changed their approach and while they still deliver the same youth work, they now do it collectively, sharing best practices and resources. They are funded by Brighton
and Hove City Council and work alongside the council’s own youth service. Now the hope is that by launching a new website, the collective will be able to engage more young people. Working with Brighton-based web design company Face Media Group, young people from the collective helped work on the look of the website, offering opinions on colour palettes, fonts, functionality, style and content. Lisa Seymour, operations director at Face Media Group, said: “We jumped at the opportunity to work with the young people that form part of the Brighton and Hove Youth Collective. “The initial project meeting was engaging, enlightening and fun. Throughout the design and build of the website we encouraged everyone to have their say, so we could deliver something that worked for everyone. We are extremely proud to have been part of this project and wish them every success for the future.”
By using information from a survey held three months prior, the design team knew that digital media was one of the top three best ways to communicate with young people. And the survey revealed the content they most wanted to know about was: 1) What activities are on offer; 2)
Events they can go to; and 3) Local community activities in their area - all of which the site now hosts. A group of young people gathered together to design and test the new website. Ashley Ridley, 13, who contributed to the website design, said: “It was fun and enjoyable, a really great experience to be involved in. My greatest achievement to date and I’m quite proud.” It was a sentiment shared by 14-year-old Ethan Storey-
Davidson, who attends Dorothy Stringer School. He said: “It was interesting, good fun and a good experience to be part of the learning and I'd love to do it again”. The new website has lots of information about all of the groups, their location and what they have to offer young people. It will also pin-point important youth services on offer, including counselling services, advice on sexual health education, training and applying for jobs.

Not the Hollywood version, but the real Paris, a heady mix of blood sausage, pains aux chocolats and irregular verbs. From gutting her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen) to discovering the French version of Death by Chocolate, Elizabeth Bard finds that learning to cook and building a new life have a lot in common. Peppered with recipes, this mouth-watering love story is the perfect treat for anyone who has ever suspected that lunch in Paris
could change their life. Every chapter contains several recipes that had me longing to dash into the kitchen and whip up a few treats, from cassoulets to croqembouches. But it was the fresh fig and goat's cheese salad that had me salivating. It’s written with a great deal of verve and charm - and, if you didn’t end up liking the author so much, it might well be a recipe for jealousy. The Paris of which she writes is the real thing, too. Not some romantic turn-ofthe-century affair. But a modern, gritty capital that has its fair share of grime and crime. It’s a well-deserved New York Times bestseller; and I completely see why. Delicious, tender and quite sexy. A bit like Paris.

Seagulls are magnificent, but we do have too many Mike Holland @RealMikeHolland
The easy way to bring down numbers is simply to stop them nesting on roofs for a couple of years. It's not rocket science and it is a humane way of reducing numbers without resorting to shooting or poisoning. It is simple enough to break the eggs and then, once numbers are down to the national average when we stop feeling as if we are all extras in the Hitchcock movie, The Birds - we may begin to enjoy
That will bring you good luck, a passer-by advised me just after one of our delightful seagulls deposited the contents of its bowels directly over me and several other lucky people on the seafront. This was followed by conversations with other people who were sitting outside the same café about how many of the wretched things there The easy way to bring are flying around above us and what a nuisance they down numbers is simply to are.

simplest of tasks while freely signing off grandiose schemes we cannot possibly afford. Nothing ever gets finished properly and - despite all the grandiose ideas and schemes that have been implemented - most have had little thought put into them. Examples would be Regency Square, where having spent £4 million revamping the car park, it has proved an impossibility for them to repair the grass area that was used for contractors storage. Another prime example would be the new arches between the much-lauded i360 Trust site and Alfresco. Wonderful job replacing the arches - as it should have been, having gone on for two years at a cost of several million pounds. But why would anyone think its a good idea to leave the two areas opposite as a haven for drunks and consequently looking like something from downtown Beirut. It might be a good idea if they actually consulted with the new tenants of the rebuilt arches to see what they think. One suggestion would be some more beach volleyball courts. That would bring in the punters, as it has done further along towards the busier seafront section. We need to bring this underused section alive now for the benefit of those currently trading there and not wait for two years in the hope that the i360 is the answer to everyone's prayers. It seems our elected representatives are missing a quality-control person in the organisation somewhere. Any volunteers?

Awards for house A house made almost entirely from rubbish has won two national awards. The University of Brighton’s Waste House won both the Building or Property Project award and the Waste and Resource Management award in a sustainable business annual prize-giving. Duncan Baker-Brown, the architect behind the house, which included thousands of old toothbrushes, video cassettes and other unwanted items, said: “We are delighted and thrilled to receive these awards “Everyone should take a bow.” Development
Education
Palestine
i360 ground breaking
College revamp
City centre demo
A breaking ground ceremony to mark the start of work on the controversial i360 tower will take place on July 29. A host of dignitaries will be at the ceremony opposite the West Pier, including Councillor Jason Kitcat, Cllr Brian Fitch, the city’s mayor, and representatives from the developers and West Pier Trust. A series of new seafront arches will also be unveiled at the ceremony, which will also showcase the city’s new creative quarter.
Brighton College has submitted plans for a multi-million pound development. The school is one of the best in the country and has ambitious plans to replace its swimming pool and old music school with a new fivestorey block of classrooms. The work would cost around £10 million and plans have been handed to the city council for consideration. Brighton College is also planning a new £40 million sport and science facility sometime in the future.
An impromptu pro-Palestine demonstration saw parts of the city centre grind to a halt. More than 100 people took part in the march, which was organised by the Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the University of Sussex’s Friends of Palestine Society. Demonstrators met on the Old Steine on Saturday morning and marched to Churchill Square and back. It caused significant disruption to local roads and public transport.

Transport
Food
Perfume factory flats
Minister's train trip
Strict catering contracts
Nine flats could be built on top of a former perfume factory in Hove. If approved, the designs would see an extra floor added to the Dubarry building in Fonthill Road. The plans have been drawn up by Lewis McMillan Architects, of Queen Square in Brighton, and the developer believes the scheme would provide some much-needed housing. An early proposal to put a penthouse on the roof, however, was rejected by Brighton and Hove City Council four years ago.
Stephen Hammond, the Government’s rail minister, joined Simon Kirby, the MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, on an early-morning commute to London. Mr Kirby wanted to highlight the conditions faced by passengers and press the case for greater capacity on the peak-time services. The MP said: “As someone who regularly uses trains to travel between Brighton and London I have experience of the issues commuters face and I thought that it was only right that the rail minister experience these too.”
The city council has become the first in the country to introduce stringent rules on food buying standards for large catering contracts. It means any contract over £75,000 will be subject to a host of new rules and the change will affect six big contracts across the council. Councillor Ollie Sykes said: “This means services within the council who buy large amounts of food will now be doing so from local suppliers and providing food which is much healthier.”
Parks
Protest at state of rec Fed-up locals took to the streets of Mile Oak to campaign against the poor state of Mile Oak Rec. More than 4,000 leaflets were handedout by members of The Mile Oak Rec Action Group (MORAG) asking locals to support calls for more equipment and regular maintenance at the oncepopular park. Natalie Downes, chair of MORAG, said: “We see investment in the parks and recs in central Hove and Brighton, but it feels like Mile Oak is ignored.”

Bagel shop opens at Brighton Station The on-going redevelopment of Brighton Station has continued with the opening of a new bagel shop. More than £5.5 million is being spent revamping the station, with plans including a new facility for cyclists complete with shower rooms, café and bike storage. That part of the redesign is not yet finished but the new Bagelman store has followed in the footsteps of the recentlyopened The Cyclist refreshment bar in setting up shop at the station. Bagelman, which is located on the east side of the station in what was the British Transport Police office, is the latest branch of the Brighton-based business which was founded in 1996 and its first franchise. It started out as a one-man bagel delivery service to help fund the founder through a degree at the University of Brighton and has grown into popular local business, with branches across Brighton and Hove. The first bakery, which opened in Bond Street in 1999, has since been joined by premises in Ship Health and fitness

Street and Church Road. The new Bagelman at Brighton Station, which boasts high ceilings and arched Victorian windows designed in collaboration with local architects Chalk Architecture, promises to be equally popular - particularly with the potential of a captive commuting customer base. Local design expert Richard Wolfstrome's company has
created the signage, menu board and wallpaper for the new Bagelman bar, giving it an impressive and professional look. And the Brighton business success story is now giving local entrepreneurs the chance to set up further Bagelman franchises. Anyone interested in more information on available franchises should email: rishi@bagelman.co.uk.
£12,000 and Rick Goodchild, a personal trainer who has organised the event, plans on topping that total this time. A dozen top indoor cycling instructors from across Europe will lead a series of 45 to 90 minute long rides on the centre’s indoor tennis courts. There will be 12 rides in total and individuals can take part in as many as they wish. Anyone aged 14 and over is welcome and a range of different bikes will be on offer to cater for all abilities. Mr Goodchild said: "It's a great opportunity for group cycling fans to raise money for a truly worthwhile cause while enjoying
a fantastic workout so please do get together with friends and family and join in the fun." The first ride will start at 9.15am followed by regular sessions throughout the day. Booking in advance is not essential but with spaces going fast it is advised. Prices start from £15 and increase depending on how many and which rides an individual wishes to take part in. Group and all day passes are also available with prices starting from £120. For more information email: rflcruk@gmail.com or visit: www.rideforlife.co.

It is inevitable its character will change in the future. What will not change, however, is its value to the city. We should all show our support by giving our custom to stallholders, new and old.

Parenting Time Waits For No Mum Mummy K @no_mum
Oh my goodness! You just don’t know the meaning of time until you have a child...or perhaps one of those incredibly-demanding jobs that sees you working 17 hours out of every 24. It’s non-stop. Non-stop, I tell you. Don’t have kids? Then take my word for it. Have kids? What are you doing reading this when you could be doing something productive? That dishwasher won’t empty itself, as you well know. I used to happily while away whole afternoons, even whole weekends, doing not much of anything. Those days are long gone, although I promise you I am not yet one of those annoying people who tell you that, after you have kids, you’ll wonder what you did with all your time. I remember all right. Not much! Nowadays, I can do in 10 minutes what would have taken me days of procrastination to get round to and then about an hour to complete. Cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom? A 10-minute
job! Hanging up the washing? Two minutes, if that. Which means enough time left over to clean the bathroom. I can - nay, I have to! drink a coffee in 60 seconds or less. I can change the sheets on my son’s bed even more quickly - unless he’s helping me; then it’s anything up to half an hour. You child-free folk barely notice 10 minutes passing, I’m sure. Perhaps the ad breaks on the TV remind you, but we parent folk, we break our whole day up into 10-minute segments. Ask me the time when I’m not wearing a watch and I’ll easily tell you to the nearest five minutes. It’s my new biorhythm. So, next time you need something done, get a parent to do it. Perhaps not your own, though; they’ve had a lifetime of 10-minute chores.

The ongoing challenges of parenting in an ever changing world... This weekend a truly unique new film opened in cinemas in Brighton - a film that has had a lot of attention due to the fact that it was shot over a period of years with the same actors. Filmed from 2002 to 2013, Boyhood covers 12 years in the life of a family. Mason and his older sister, Samantha, learn to face the realities of growing up, while their divorced parents cope with the ongoing challenges of parenting in an ever changing world. The film has been referred to as a groundbreaking coming of age drama – which I agree it really is. But as a Collaborative Family Lawyer and Mediator for me it was also a heartbreaking portrayal of the ever shifting lives of divorced parents. The film begins when Mason’s parents played by Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke have just separated. Though we don’t see events leading up to the separation it is clear the divorce has been a bitter one. We see Masons mother struggling with single motherhood financially, emotionally and intellectually.
in a fragmented family. New ‘unsuitable’ partners come and go but the constant is the relationship between the parents and their children. The Collaborative legal process is one built on letting go of old resentments and trying to look forward. I will be urging my clients both current and past to see this film. Why, well for many reasons. It shows just how important building a parenting relationship post parting is, how things change, how people grow. But probably the most powerful message it sends is about letting go of resentments. Mason’s parents spend years resenting each other they express this whenever and however they can. But the film highlights they only ever get to see one part of each other; usually when the pick up or drop off the children so old tensions surface. Had they been able to see how the other parent interacted with the children when they weren’t around each would see a loving parent doing their best.
Then we see of the children’s father showing up after a year and a half of no contact. Bearing presents for the children, treats and full of promises and remorse. Inevitably a row ensues when he breaks arrangements and it looks like we know the way the film will go.
This is a powerful message to all separated parents – remember you no longer see the ‘whole’ person – recognise you no longer get to see the committed parent your ex is when they are with the children.
Instead of siding with one parent over the other the film cleverly portrays ‘everyone’s’ experience of living
If you can keep this in mind you can let go of past hurts and move on both as individuals and as a family.

Casino to undergo £600,000 facelift A casino has unveiled plans for a £600,000 refurbishment - with the new look revealed at a launch event next month. Management at Genting Casino Brighton believe the revamp will help establish the venue as the area’s premier gaming destination. The casino, situated on Preston Street, which employs more than 30 part-time and full-time staff, is holding a special launch event on Thursday, August 14. The makeover will transform the casino into a boutique style, contemporary destination, complete with new entrance and reception area and the addition of a stylish bar serving premium drinks and cocktails. The major refurbishment scheme also includes a complete redecoration of the venue, new toilets, audio visual equipment and enhanced lighting. At the heart of the casino will be the gaming floor. All of the popular casino games are available, from American roulette, blackjack, baccarat and three card poker, together with electronic roulette and slot machines with jackpots up to £10,000. For those new to gaming,
An artist’s impression of the refurbished casino
the casino offers learn to play sessions where customers can have fun while being shown how to play blackjack, roulette or Texas hold’em poker. Will Cotton, general manager of Genting Casino Brighton, said: “This sizeable investment will create a smart boutique style casino that will appeal to high value players.
“We have always delivered the very best customer service and we’ll now have an environment to match.” Genting UK plc, a whollyowned subsidiary of Genting Malaysia, has 41 casinos across England and Scotland and works closely with GamCare and other organisations to promote responsible gambling.
Grants available to help improve cultural offer of London Road The London Road Town Team has launched a new arts grant scheme in an effort to improve the cultural offer of London Road and support existing arts centres in the area. The group, which is part of the Mary Portas-led Portas Pilot scheme, has five grants of £1,000 to give to any individuals or organisations looking to put on an event which will attract more people to the area. It is open to any arts or cultural organisation which is based in or around the London Road area. Artists and cultural organisations including festivals that are not based in or around London Road can apply, but would need to collaborate with existing cultural organisations or businesses to be eligible. The successful events or activities need to be held before the end of the year and organisers hope the grants can further stimulate interest in the area. Since the Portas Pilot Project started 24 months ago, the rate of empty shops in London Road has dropped from 16% to 8%. The Town Team has developed
a website showcasing the best London Road has to offer (www.visitlondonroad.co.uk) and launched its own branding and marketing. On-street security and a Town Team coordinator have been employed, and two arts projects have already been delivered in the area: Shine On London Road and a series of street-art murals around Elder Place. According to the team, one of the biggest strengths of London Road is the cultural activity in the area which it says has gone from strength to strength over the lifetime of the Portas project. In the last two years the road has welcomed a new theatre, music venue, numerous galleries and exhibition spaces which have all helped create a cultural offer that is transforming London Road during the day and night.

Miss Bin-It says ...
It’s easy to keep your drain clear Help prevent blockages that can be a pain in the drain and lead to flooding
2.2
In the kitchen • Never pour fat, oil or grease down sinks, drains or toilets. Over time, this can cause blockages and lead to flooding in your street or even your home • Before washing dishes, scrape or tip cold fat, oil and grease – as well as food scraps – into a disposable container, let the fat solidify then put it in the bin
• Where appropriate, try to reuse oil and fat • Your local authority recycling centre may have an oil and fat recycling facility

Duke’s at Komedia is screening a documentary on disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong on August 7. Or rather, it is if enough people buy tickets.
Stop At Nothing – The Lance Armstrong Story has been scheduled through a new organisation called Our Screen. It is a website where members of the public can ask for films to be shown at their local cinema. If enough people reserve tickets, the screening goes ahead. The initiative has so far proved successful - particularly here in
Brighton - and less than 50 people are needed to reserve a spot at Stop At Nothing for it to go ahead. The film has enjoyed a national tour, won a host of prizes at the 2014 Sheffield Documentary Film Festival and the 2014 East End Film Festival. It was directed by BAFTA award-winning director, Alex Holmes, and produced by the Academy Award-winning producers of One Day in September. Tickets are £9.50. To reserve one, visit: www.ourscreen.com.

Kerrie Hayes The Mill Channel 4, 8pm The catchphrase “trouble at t’mill” may have been coined back in 1967 on the early John Thaw series Inheritance, but it might as well have been created purely for this show, which began last year – for not only is it centred around a mill, but there’s also frequently trouble at it. As the 19th-century period drama returns for a second run, that trouble takes the form of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which has led to desperate economic migrants from the South arriving at Quarry Bank in search of jobs – which could end up leading to a drop in wages.

the city is our office Bonett’s
Shampoo or shoes? We have seen the internet almost completely taking over as the first ‘flagging up’ of properties coming onto the market. With the technology now available, especially cloud computing, this is happening ‘real time’. Can an estate agent add value to the selling process, or is the breed an endangered species, facing a lingering death in the avalanche of online development? Most of you probably think the days of the ‘traditional estate agent’ are numbered. You could be right. If we sit in our offices, waiting for someone to walk in the door or call us to arrange to view a property just launched onto the web, do you need us? You may be able to book an online, electronic viewing via a call centre and, sorted…or is it? If estate agents just react to enquiries like a call centre, what is the value? The agent arranges
the viewing ; the people look at one place with you, a few others with other agents and then either make an offer and buy, or they don’t. It’s the same process as looking at a variety of shampoos in a supermarket and then picking one. Do you need advice? Probably not. But, property is not shampoo; it’s a little more complicated. Buying a property is more like buying a nice pair of shoes. In a good shoe shop, you crave interaction with the shop staff, especially if they are experienced. You get questions, answers, feedback and advice. Then, they may say: ‘I’ve another pair I think will really suit you’. Off they go to the store room: Hey presto, back they come with something quite different, but it’s just what you really want and you buy immediately, plus you are thrilled with the shop
assistant. Good estate agents are like that. When you call up to arrange to view a property, do the agents just book the viewing to satisfy the client that they are getting lots of people looking, or do the agents quiz you a little about what you are looking for. If they do, be pleased and not annoyed at their inquisitive nature. They are doing you and their client, the seller, a favour. You know you hate to view places where, as soon as you walk in the door, you know it’s wrong. We hate that too so, to avoid it, we need to ask you more than your name, address, telephone number and email. Having established what you are looking to buy, we can start making some good suggestions. We will talk around the subject and maybe come up with that place you have not noticed on the
net or have seen but passed over. The agent may have just valued a property which would suit you and suggests they can talk to the owner and perhaps it will come onto the market and you can see it immediately. If it’s all ‘virtual’ that human interaction and nous will disappear. The thinking estate agent makes the connection between your replies and the notes they’ve made about what you say you
want. Suddenly, you are viewing the place you didn’t even know you wanted; bingo! As a seller, that’s the agent you want working for you and as the buyer, it’s great to be listened to properly. What’s more, both sides get what they want… super! Just like that favourite pair of shoes! Paul Bonett F.N.A.E.A. M.A.R.L.A.

■ Would you like more control and a greater say over your property?
A guide as to how to extend your lease or become your own landlord As the lease of your flat becomes shorter in duration over time it becomes less valuable, thereby directly impacting on the future value of such an important asset of yours. Prospective purchasers of your property may well be put off buying because the lease is too short and/or because they simply
cannot get a mortgage of such a short lease. Mortgage lenders generally view any lease of less than 80 years as questionable security so the benefits of negotiating an extension are clear – you will not only protect your asset, you’ll also be ensuring it retains its value moving forward. It must also be
noted that the lower you allow your lease to go, the higher the premium you will be asked to pay to extend it – so the guidance we give is being proactive most definitely will save a considerable sum of money for you. To be eligible for an extension, certain requirements need to be met. These are that the lease was

The minimum number of leaseholders required to participate has been reduced to 50%. A notice will need to be served on the freeholder and again a valuer will need to be appointed to determine the offer price to include in the notice. Subject to a limited number of exemptions, under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 it is also a criminal offence for a freeholder of a block of flats to sell the freehold without first offering it to the tenants first. The qualifying conditions are substantially the same as for collectively enfranchising but in this instance it is the landlord who is required to a serve a notice on the tenants and the tenants, if they want to acquire the freehold, need to respond within the statutory timeframes.

The places I eat
The best ice-cream-makers in the city are talented, original, and imaginative Suzanne Rose @placesieatbtn
Artisan ice cream is so far removed from anything mass-produced, it’s like comparing a handmade sourdough loaf with a shop-bought burger bun. Proper ice cream is dense, smooth, and creamy - never cloying - with lingering flavour that doesn’t leave you with a greasy mouth and a raging thirst. A small pool of Brighton icecream-makers are elevating this quintessential summer treat to something far above and beyond a Mr Whippy. Move away from that Cornetto and support our city’s producers. Boho Gelato 6 Pool Valley, Brighton, BN1 1NJ www.facebook.com/bohogelato @bohogelato I’ve been a huge fan of this place since it opened in 2010. I’ve not had one disappointing flavour, and owner Seb Cole’s enthusiasm is infectious: 24 ever-changing ice creams, sorbets and granitas are always available (including at least six vegan options), with staff in the kitchen constantly trying out new
Coffee Chronicles Caffè Nero has always been on the two-shot bandwagon; you might even credit them with introducing it to the rest of us.

ideas. Flavours are whimsical and evocative - think Pier doughnut, Honey-nut cornflake, Pineapple sherbet, and Battenberg - while more sophisticated options might include White chocolate cardamom, Apple tarte tatin, or Lychee and mint. Gelato Gusto 2 Gardner Street, Brighton, BN1 1UP www.gelatogusto.com @gelatogusto This relatively-new North Laine gelateria has quickly established itself as one of the best in town. The interior is gorgeous, with its white and dove-grey palette and scrubbed wooden floors: 18 ice creams and 12 sorbets are always on offer; my two favourite flavours are the Ecuadorian dark chocolate and the Blood orange. Flavours change all the time: sorbets might include Cherry cola and Peach melba, or try the Amaretto and marmalade and Sea salt caramel ice creams. Gusto doesn’t disappoint with the classics either: Rum and raisin, Pistachio, and Strawberry are all divine. Scoop and Crumb 5-6 East Street, Brighton, BN1 1HP www.scoopandcrumb.com

@scoopandcrumb The couple who run this place, Jonathan and Helena Dickson, are two of the most enthusiastic people I’ve met, with a passion for ice cream evident throughout their colourful, two-storey parlour, the first to open in central Brighton in 2007. Their Swedish waffles are popular, while their sundae menu is the biggest in the United Kingdom, with sizes and combinations to suit all appetites. My daughter loves the Baby Pink Sundae. The 18 ice creams and sorbets currently include Roasted plum crumble, Gooseberry, and Cinnamon ginger biscuit - a gorgeous take on Swedish pepparkakor. Cloud 9 15 Brighton Place, Brighton, BN1 1HJ www.cloud9brighton.co.uk @cloud9brighton This candy-striped, vanilla-scented ice-cream parlour and bakery is nestled in the heart of The Lanes.

Now and then, they toy with savoury flavours: Blue cheese or Garlic, anyone?

Whatever your style, budget, shape, or occasion, the Brighton shops have the answer. Pretty Eccentric is Brighton’s little gem of a boutique label and a must for anyone hunting down a gorgeous frock with hints of bygone era. Each season, the store is full of pieces you want to stroke as you pass by. I’m torn between a flapper-style dress executed in a delicate sage colour with soft platinum beading and a gloriouslyintricate lace tea dress with hints of 1940s glamour. Their kimonos in silk georgette are to die for and who knew Gin and Rosewater eau de parfum smelt so delicious? If you’re looking for a 1920s-style wedding dress, check out their full-length Gatsby Dress in beaded ivory net (£225), pair it with a handmade ostrich feather and pearl headband (£139) and add molly shoes, the one with the little garters (£79). Totally wow and so affordable. To add a shot of oldfashioned glamour to your wardrobe find Pretty Eccentric at No.10 Bond Street, Brighton or www.prettyeccentric.co.uk Watch out on Saturday afternoon, about 2.45pm – there will be something happening at the store.

Travel A Scottish safari: golden eagles, whales, seals, and much more Richard Morris @BrightonIndy An African safari has always been high on my list of dream holidays. Two weeks in Kenya, however, can be costly. So it was, then, that this year, I agreed to a short break to the Isle of Mull in Scotland. The decision, though, was clinched only upon the promise of seeing otters in the wild. Mull, you see, is a hotbed of British wildlife. And I love otters. So, having flown from Gatwick to Glasgow and hired a car, my wife and I set off for a few days of Scottish safari that would culminate in an eight-hour nature tour on Mull. First, though, following a night’s stay at a delightful hotel, was

a boat trip and the first chance to see an otter. True, we were actually looking for whales. But you never know. Setting off from the mainland, near Oban, the five-hour trip with Sealife Adventures (www. sealife-adventures.com) cost £65 and included the services of an unbelievably-enthusiastic marine biologist called David Ainsley. Armed with an unrivalled knowledge of the local coastline, David flipped seamlessly between pilot and tour guide - forever keeping one eye on the horizon for a hint of a tail fin. The coast around Oban is a Special Area of Conservation, making it among the best places in Britain to see porpoises, whales, basking sharks, and seals in the wild. And, much to David’s relief, our
outing didn’t disappoint. Having ticked off baby seals and an array of seabirds from our checklist, the cry of “Whale” went up. And there it was: an adult minke whale just a stone’s throw away from the side of the boat. It looked a bit like the creature that swallows and then spits out R2D2 in Empire Strikes Back when Luke Skywalker flies to Dagobah to track down Yoda - although that description may be lost on some. Better just to look at the picture accompanying this article. Within moments, a smaller, young minke arrived on the scene, circling the boat and coming within a matter of feet from its bow. As far as rare-animal-spotting was concerned, that would take some topping. Thank goodness then for Arthur Brown and his hugely-enjoyable nature trip round Mull. Less than 24 hours after riding the waves in pursuit of porpoises,
A young minke whale came within a few feet of the boat we found ourselves nestled in the back of a minibus on an eight-hour wildlife tour of Mull. Arthur, who runs daily trips costing £40 (www.discovermull. co.uk), is one of a growing number of Englishmen to settle down on the idyllic island. And it is easy to see why. As a self-confessed bird-lover, Arthur is in the enviable position of being able to combine his passion with his job. And if anyone can convert tourists to twitchers, it is surely him.

At one stage, we even saw a whitetipped eagle and a smaller bird of prey engage in a dog-fight directly above us. Both trips are highly recommended.

Sport Proud supporters of
Sussex County Cricket Club Brighton and Hove Albion FC
Sussex looking forward to a festival of cricket
Spanish training camp great for players and fans Brighton were due to play Spanish side Real Betis last night (Thursday) with Sami Hyypiä down to the bare bones. Central defender Lewis Dunk has joined Dale Stephens and Andrew Crofts on the sidelines, while Leoanardo Ulloa and Kazenga Lua Lua have both fallen foul of slight knocks which have so far kept their involvement in Spain to a minimum. New signing Aaron Hughes was expected to make his debut in last night’s match and, despite the absence a number of key men, Hyypiä has been pleased with how the training camp has gone. The Albion have enjoyed their stay in Costa de Murcia, with the new management team able to carry out some vital work with the squad while also giving a number of the club’s young players a first
taste of training with the front side. And it has been an enjoyable break for the supporters who travelled in good numbers to get a glimpse of the Albion in action. Seagulls fans who flocked to Spain to see Hyypiä put his players through their paces were treated to a barbeque with the first team squad following a well-attended open training session at the Pinatar Arena. Players mingled with supporters during what proved to be an excellent public relations exercise by the Albion. And Paul Barber, the club’s chief executive, was delighted to see so many friendly faces follow the team overseas. He said: “It is great that our fans are making the effort to come and support the team in Spain.”
Will Beer has been in excellent T20 form for Sussex Sharks Sussex CCC head to Horsham on Monday for a vital LV County Championship match with Warwickshire, knowing a win will move them further away from the Division One drop zone. Fresh from a morale-boosting Natwest T20 Blast triumph over big-hitting Glamorgan at Hove on Tuesday, Sussex will go to Horsham full of confidence. Luke Wright plundered an impressive 66 as the Sharks won by five wickets, just about keeping alive their lingering hopes of making fourth place in the South group and reaching the quarter finals of the money-spinning T20 competition. Despite Wright’s heroics with the bat man of the match was undoubtedly Will Beer. The bowler returned figures of 3 for 14 from his four overs, halting what had been an encouraging start to the
match for Glamorgan. The Crawley-born 25-year-old, who bowls right arm leg-break, has almost exclusively been used in the short form of the game. His recent performances with both and ball, however, have led to calls from some supporters to give him an extended run in the County Championship - possibly at the expense of loan bowler James Tredwell. Tredwell has performed admirably during his temporary spell at Sussex and offers a degree of control in the long form game not yet displayed by Beer. The counter-argument, however, is that unless given an extended opportunity to prove his worth in the County Championship, Beer will remain at a disadvantage. Beer has chalked up just 13 dismissals, at just under 40 runs per wicket, in his limited County
Championship career with Sussex while the vastly moreexperienced Tredwell impressed during Sussex’s important recent win over Northants. He finished the match, which Sussex won by an innings and 85 runs, with five maiden overs from his 16 bowled. He did not take a wicket but went for less than three runs an over. Tickets to the four-day match are available online (at www.sussexcricket.co.uk) or by calling 0844 264 0201. Tickets to Sussex’s one-day match with Nottinghamshire, also at Horsham’s Cricketfield Road ground, are also available. That match takes place on July 27 and Sussex are offering fans the chance to enjoy a two-course meal and other refreshments alongside their match entry for £50 for adults and £30 for juniors.

Season looming large but no time for transfer panic Richard Morris @BrightonIndy Sami Hyypiä and his backroom staff have just 22 days to secure new signings if they are to play in the Albion’s opening league fixture. The new manager makes his competitive bow against Sheffield Wednesday at The Amex on Saturday, August 9 and sections of the Seagulls support are getting twitchy at the prospect of starting the new season without further reinforcements. So far this summer the club has added only Aaron Hughes and Toko Nzuzi, despite releasing a string of players and losing player of the year Matthew Upson to recently-promoted Leicester City. It isn’t yet, however, time to panic, regardless of what some supporters may think. While Hyypiä clearly needs to add to his existing squad, some of the Seagulls best business last term was done late on. Stephen Ward, the Wolves left back who ended the season as runner-up in Brighton’s player of the year poll, did not arrive on loan until the third week of August. Keith Andrews, another season-long loan signing, headed south from parent club Bolton just a few days earlier than his international colleague Ward, while Kemy Agustien joined on a free transfer in the final days of July.
Albion all-time eleven revealed following vote Seagulls supporters have been voting on their best-ever Brighton & Hove Albion team for a t-shirt soon to be stocked in the club’s superstore. T-shirt firm Elevens announced earlier this year that it planned to produce a new top for Seagulls fans emblazoned with the club’s greatest ever team. Sam Thomas, director at Elevens, teamed up with Brighton & Hove Independent to ask fans to submit their dream teams on social media so the design would accurately reflect exactly who fans considered worthy of a place among Albion icons. And the results are in. Michel Kuipers appears in goal, in front of a back four of Gary Stevens, Steve Foster, Mark
Lawrenson and Wayne Bridge. Brian Horton, Liam Bridcutt, Jimmy Case and Vicente make up the midfield, with Bobby Zamora and Peter Ward picked in attack. Alan Mullery, who still works for the Seagulls, was voted the team’s greatest ever manager, fighting off competition from the likes of Gus Poyet and Micky Adams. Mr Thomas said: “We were delighted with the response from Brighton fans and we thank them for their input and the great conversation it started. “We are really excited about the launch at the superstore and hope the fans like the final XI.” The tops, priced £17, will be available in blue and white at the Seagulls superstore from July 24.
The Albion have been linked to Finland’s Niki Mäenpää In fact, only Adam Chicksen had arrived at the Albion by this stage last season and Oscar Garcia’s team still managed to secure a play-off spot. Nevertheless, Hyypiä will certainly prefer to have his business done sooner rather than later, particularly with new methods to implement. His priority remains securing a new number one. Hyypiä and his team missed out on Kieran
Westwood and are unsure as to the availability of loan target Jack Butland, who may yet be needed by parent club Stoke City. Reports this week suggest the Seagulls have a genuine interest in West Ham United’s young custodian Stephen Henderson who has a year remaining on his Boleyn Ground contract, while Finland international Niki Mäenpää, of Dutch side VVVVenlo, remains a possibility.
Ireland encouraged by path to first team squad
Shamir Fenelon has been in good form so far (Photograph: Paul Hazlewood)
The Albion’s young players have done their chances of progressing into the first team squad no harm at all on their training camp in Spain, according to the club’s under-21 coach. Simon Ireland believes the week away has been a superb opportunity for members of the Albion’s development squad not least because it afforded his young charges a close-up glimpse of the Albion’s star talent. Speaking after his side drew 0-0 with Spanish Segunda Division outfit Cartagena, who fielded a mixture of first team and youngsters, Ireland was full of praise for his team and delighted with the tour in general. He said: “It is a great experience coming here. It is something the club do fantastically well. “You can see they [the development squad players] are thinking, I have a chance here; even if it is only to train with
the first team, I have a chance to impress the gaffer. “And then also for the under18s coming into my group, they have done themselves no harm – we have seen some good performances from the younger boys.” The Seagulls have invested more than £30 million in a new state-of-the-art training complex which it hopes will help attract top young talent to the club. Equally important perhaps though is the potential promise of graduating to first team football. And Ireland was pleased to see a number of the club’s younger players given a chance with the first team. Last season Rohan Ince, Solly March and Jake Forster-Caskey all progressed to the front side under the watchful eye of Oscar Garcia after impressing for the development squad. And it looks like being no
different under the Catalan’s replacement Sami Hyypiä, with a number of untried youngsters already given a chance to impress in the first team. Highly-rated young goalkeeper Christian Walton, who recently signed a contract extension, is currently the club’s back-up custodian, while Shamir Fenelon has caught the eye with his direct attacking approach. According to Ireland, the manager’s willingness to give youth a chance could prove vital in the club’s bid to build a strong development squad. He said: “It is fantastic. It is great, because when you are trying to attract a player to the club or dealing with your own players and you can say to them ‘if you are good enough, you’ll be in and around the first team’.” Three potential development squad signings (Danny Pappoe, Ibou Touray and George Cole) all took part in the training camp.
