Home is ....?
One thing is certain: A home that you love is priceless. Islay Pickup, a student who calls Brighton her home, has undertaken a photography project in the city, asking passers-by what “home” means to them. A smell? A name? Or a taste? She then photographed them with their one-word answers. Ms Pickup was inspired by Gillian Wearing’s series of photographs entitled “Signs that say what you want them to say and not signs that say what someone else wants you to say”.

Labour councillor’s petition urges publication of all Lewes Road data
The petition asks for time-restricting bus lanes to be considered
A newly-elected councillor has launched a petition calling for the release of data about the impact of the changes to Lewes Road. Councillor Daniel Yates, who is the Labour-led council’s chair of the health and wellbeing board, is asking for the release of all monitoring documents produced since November 2013, with data about air quality, health, travel times, and accident rates.
He is also asking for the council – in a full review of the Lewes Road scheme - to consider time-restricting the bus lanes and introducing measures to lessen any impact on surrounding roads. Cllr Yates said: “I think it’s crucial that local people are able to fully demonstrate their views on this. I could have simply requested a report, but local feeling ran very high over the Lewes Road scheme and it’s
important for people to be able to show their support for this.” This use of the council’s e-petition service by a councillor is a novel one. Current guidance states that councillors are not allowed to sign petitions; it does not, however, prevent them starting one. The petition has been been signed by nearly 500 people in a week. The move has been criticised as an unnecessary, ill-informed waste of time and money by Green councillors, who originally implemented the scheme. Councillor Phélim Mac Cafferty, convenor of the Green Group, said: “The Lewes Road scheme continues to be subject to extensive ongoing monitoring and, by all measures, it’s been a success. “More journeys are being made by bus, taxi and bike and fewer journeys are being made by car, bus journeys are now quicker and more reliable. “There is no significant displacement of traffic to other routes and significantly, air quality, dire for so many years along this road, is finally showing improvement.”

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!

won the exclusive right to deliver the government’s National Citizen Service (NCS) programme across Brighton and Hove after seeing off strong competition in a bidding process. The NCS is a governmentfunded personal and social development programme aimed at 15- to 17-year-olds, which gives teenagers the chance to gain new skills for their future. It also encourages them to take a more active role in their local community. AITC began delivering the NCS scheme in 2012 – initially to 30 local teenagers. The numbers involved have grown each year and the next programme will work with 180 young people. Within two years that figure will grow to more than 600 for the summer programme alone - rising to more than 800 by 2018.

The programme is fully inclusive and is open to young people with disabilities or special educational needs (up to the age of 25).
It represents a significant milestone for AITC and further establishes the charity as one of the area’s key community schemes. Dan Garrett, AITC’s NCS programme manager, was delighted the charity was able to secure such a prestigious and financially rewarding partnership. He said: “This is the largest contract that AITC has ever been awarded. It is a really exciting time. “This will see significant growth of the programme, helping many beneficiaries within our local community while generating significant roles for both current and new colleagues to get involved within the project and its various delivery models.‘‘ Michael Edwards, AITC chief executive, was full of praise for the NCS team. He said: “A lot of work went into this and it is brilliant news for the charity to secure the NCS contract’’. “The NCS team has done fantastically and the result will be a huge boost to AITC.”

Plans for a Freegle depot from shipping containers Jo Wadsworth @BrightonNewsJo A recycling campaigner is appealing for help to create a sorting depot for re-usable goods out of shipping containers. Cat Fletcher, who runs Brighton Freegle - the popular online project that has 22,000 members - has launched a crowd-funding appeal to buy eight containers. These will then provide secure storage on disused “pop-up” sites. Ms Fletcher is currently working out of a large storage base at the Circus Street Market provided by Cathedral Developments, from which she intercepted and redistributed 250 tonnes of goods in the last year. She said: “Cathedral gave me space in there for a couple of months to get the materials for the Waste House and I was in
there for two-and-a-half years. “But I’m having to move out at the end of June when the site’s redeveloped. “This project expansion will enable us to intercept more reusable goods and provide a more effective reuse service for the whole city. “The containers will enable us to move the depot every few years from one development site to another with the minimum of fuss. “We have eight shipping containers earmarked for the project. We just need to raise the £10,000 to purchase and deliver them.” The plans have been praised by Green councillors and by Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion. Phélim Mac Cafferty, convenor of the Green Group, said: “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure and this project
Cat Fletcher, a recycling campaigner
will help to match these up. “We wish this visionary project every success and urge supporters to make a contribution to crowd funding this important campaign for our city. “Cleaning up litter costs the taxpayer about £1bn a year and simply far too much of this is perfectly usable.” Ms Lucas said: “I sincerely hope that this fantastic project gets the funding required to expand.’’ For more information, visit: crowdfunder.co.uk/city-reuse-depot

When the ball hits the goal, could it be Zamora next season? Bradley Stratton @BradStrat
The Albion Roar Alan Wares @albionroar As I write this (Tuesday), my Twitter-meter has exploded. Every tweet is about Sepp Blatter, the Dark Overlord of world football – a man who turned shoulder-shrugging into an art form – finally finding the exit door at FIFA. ‘Be careful what you wish for’ is a phrase that springs to mind. It’s one thing wanting Blatter out, it’s another thing knowing
exactly who the right person is to take over. One can’t help but draw parallels with this and the tawdry Bill Archer story from 18 years ago. Let’s hope FIFA finds its own trusted Knight sooner rather than later. Tune into Radio Reverb, 97.2FM, online at www.radioreverb.com, or via the podcast on iTunes and www.albionroar.co.uk. The show is brought to you in association with www.oldfootballshirts.com

Of course, there are The free-agent list is always numerous other factors to of interest to fans, and for take account of when talking Albion supporters, the name about a 34-year old Zamora. Robert Lester Zamora – better Injury concerns and wage known as Bobby – has got demands are key amongst many fans excited. them, and the fact Chris For the first time in his O’Grady already career, the former England performs a similar international is without a Zamora is considered role up front means club, and with the 34-year among the Seagulls’ he may have to make striker’s future up in the way for the move to air, many Albion fans are greatest ever forwards’’ happen. hoping he will return to However, his topthe club where he made his flight experience in name. the dressing room would be Thirteen years have passed, Three seasons, two titlea benefit to the side.

He now plays is considered among the ‘Number 25, Bobby Zamora’ more of a hold-up role, Seagulls’ greatest ever at the Amex, though he’d have bringing others into play, but forwards, but would the to prise that shirt off Kazenga his quality means that with expectations be too great if LuaLua first! he was to pull on the blue and another striker alongside white stripes again? Whether it was spectacular efforts from range, sublime finishes in and around the box, or finding the back of the net thanks to an almost telepathic understanding with full-back Paul Watson from set pieces, Zamora was a goal-scoring machine for Albion.
Now is the time for marching… Dan Tester @BHIndyAlbion I’ve just watched a short clip of Motherwell fans singing The Beatles’ classic Twist and Shout after their 3-1 victory at Ibrox in the first leg of their recent play-off. The scene of unbridled joy got me thinking about the atmosphere at grounds. A bouncing Amex is a great place to be but, unfortunately, there wasn’t much to get excited about last season. Some clubs have rousing anthems and songs that have lasted generations, handed down from father to son. On The Ball City is actually older than Norwich City itself, and was adopted by fans in 1902 – the oldest still-in-use football
chant in the world. You’ll Never Walk Alone at Anfield, just before kick-off, is an incredible spectacle. A pop song covered by Scouse band Gerry & The Pacemakers, it was belted out on the Kop for the first time in 1963 and is now synonymous with the Merseyside club. The reason why the Stoke City choir favour Delilah is debatable; some sources believe it began with a chap called TJ drunkenly butchering the Tom Jones number in a Potteries pub, while others suggest a group of Stoke supporters introduced the chant to the Boothen End at the Victoria Ground in the late 1970s. Birmingham City’s anthem Keep Right On can be traced back to 1956 when their players, on the team bus with
the windows down, could be heard streets away by Blues fans waiting for their heroes at Highbury. West Ham fans have sung I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles since the 1920s, the Toon Army’s Blaydon Races was penned in 1862 and Chelsea’s Carefree premiered on a pre-season tour in 1982, although Chesterfield fans claim to have sung it first. Music is great at creating atmosphere. Drums aren’t, though. And neither are blokes hanging off fences screaming into loud hailers. And neither is a generic pop song blasted out to ‘celebrate’ a goal. Or clackers. The noise inside a stadium has to be organic, generated by the crowd, in reaction to what’s happening on the pitch. The wonderful Good Old Sussex By The Sea became

associated with the Albion over a century ago. The teams run out to it at the Amex and a shorter version can still be heard on the terraces wherever the club play. In 1980, chairman
Mike Bamber replaced the unique marching song with the Rocky theme after attending a game in the North American soccer league! Thankfully, it didn’t last long.
