Hundreds object to designs for ‘ugliest building’ in city Complaints over the height and scale of development Bex Bastable

bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable

More than 400 letters of objection have flooded in to Brighton and Hove City Council in response to plans for a major housing development overlooking Preston Park. Developers insist the plans for Anston House, which it calls ‘the ugliest building in Sussex’, will bring millions into the local economy and provide 229 much-needed homes. Representatives from developer First Base lobbied passers-by in Jubilee Square, and handed out leaflets explaining the benefits of the scheme on Wednesday. But despite their best efforts, the proposal for Anston House has already seen a deluge of objections

from residents. As the Brighton & Hove Independent went to press, the council had received 421 objections and just 61 letters of support – although 50 of these support letters were from the developer’s own consultation. Many of the objections stem from the fact that the building would include towers of up to 15 storeys high, and others said the building was out of keeping with the area, which is one of the major gateways into the city. First Base’s plan is to demolish Anston House to make way for 229 homes and 283 workspaces. If approved, the new development would replace the existing ninestorey office block, which has been abandoned for more than 25 years. SEE PAGE 3

Controversial scheme could pump £139m into local economy Bex Bastable

bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable

When housing developer First Base unveiled its proposals for Anston House in July, it said there was a ‘good level of support’ from the local community. First Base said the benefits of the scheme included contributions of £450,000 of funding towards additional school places, £180,000 for public transport improvements and £450,000 towards improving Brighton’s open spaces. The scheme would also create 344 construction jobs and give a £139m boost to the economyduringconstruction, according to the company. But since then, more than 400 people have objected to the scheme, with residents calling the plans ‘extremely

Brighton’s newest attraction welcomed its 100,000th visitor last weekend, just three weeks after it opened. The i360’s glass pod can carry up to 200 people at a time. David Marks, chairman of British Airways i360, said: “We are delighted to be on target, hitting this enormous visitor figure in such a short time.” Cllr Gill Mitchell, deputy leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, said: “We are delighted that British Airways i360 is already proving to be so popular and is attracting visitors from far and wide as well as helping to build Brighton and Hove’s fame across the world.”

Probe begins after Labour’s suspension of local party Internal party investigators are set to begin a probe into the annual meeting which saw the city’s Labour Party suspended. Labour heavyweights will visit Brighton and Hove to speak to local party members about the meeting, which saw Corbyn supporters elected to the executive committee – the leadership team that runs local Labour Party operations. The results of that election have since been annulled and Brighton, Hove and District Labour Party was told it could not meet until after the national leadership election

later this month, at which point its elections would have to be re-run. Concerns by the party’s national executive committee (NEC) included alleged abusive behaviour at the annual meeting, reports that the ballots were not properly reached, and the safety of members. Local members are set to be interviewed by Labour investigators on Monday and Tuesday (September 5 and 6). Interviewees are believed to include outgoing chair Lloyd Russell-Moyle and members who were elected to the new committee before the

results were declared void: Anne Pissaridou, Christine Robinson, Greg Hadfield and Mark Sandell. One of the senior figures invited for interview said: “This inquiry has already dragged on for nearly two months. There is no reason why the NEC does not accept it was totally wrong to suspend Brighton, Hove and District Labour Party. It should immediately reinstate the officers elected on July 9 and unite behind Jeremy Corbyn when he is elected - again - as our leader and as the candidate to be the next Labour prime minister.

imposing’ and ‘a blight on the environment around Preston Park’. One objector said: “This development seems hugely out of proportion with the local environment - 13 to 15 storeys is quite monstrous.” Another complaint was that there is not enough affordable housing in the scheme for those on low incomes. The plans by First Base for the abandoned Anston House, include 229 homes, office space, 115 parking spaces and 432 spaces for bicycles, and said it the new building would regenerate the ‘eye-sore’. The building would include three towers, of up to 15 storeys at the highest point. Eeva Paasiaro, development manager at First Base, said: “Over the past year we have listened to residents, businesses and local stakeholders and we are grateful for the

support received. People have welcomed our plans for private and affordable homes, shared our passion for high-quality design and architecture, appreciated that the buildings are planned to minimise impact on Preston Park and neighbouring properties and worked with us to develop proposals which will support businesses in Brighton with much needed workspace. We look forward to continuing to hear from residents and businesses over the coming months.” Between 2000 and 2014 there were eight different applications for the 1.5 acre site. The twotower residential scheme envisioned by Urban Splash and Investec was rejected by the council in 2013. The council’s planning committee is set to make a decision on the application by October 10.

Murder investigation in Mile Oak Bex Bastable

The parents of a young woman who was found dead at her Brighton home said the teenager was a ‘beautiful girl’ and a ‘kind, thoughtful, caring daughter’. Shana Grice, 19, was discovered at her house in Chrisdory Road in Mile Oak on Thursday morning after an alarm was raised when she did not arrive at work. Police called to the property at 9.45am found Ms Grice’s body inside, but no-one else at the house. A 27-year-old man was arrested later that day on suspicion of murder but has since been released on bail. Paying tribute to their daughter, Sharon Grice and Richard Green, from Hove, said: “Shana is our beautiful girl, a kind, thoughtful, caring daughter who always thought of others. We would like to thank everyone for their beautiful kind words.” The 27-year-old man from Portslade arrested in connection with the case has

£20m cash injection to get Southern back on track Joshua Powling

joshua.powling@jpress.co.uk @BrightonIndy

The government is set to plough £20m into the Southern network to turn around the performance of its services. This comes after months of disruption to services from Brighton to London, and across the Southern network, which Govia Thameslink (GTR) - the company that runs the franchise - blames on union disputes. Transport Secretary Chris Grayling confirmed a package of measures yesterday (Thursday) including the £20m fund and the appointment of one of Britain’s most experienced rail industry figures to help get the service back on track. Chris Gibb will head a new project board, working with GTR, the Department for Transport, and Network Rail to explore how to achieve ‘rapid improvements’. Passengers have faced months of disruption and chaos as the rail operator has been locked in a bitter dispute with the RMT union

over plans to change the role of conductors on Southern services, which would see drivers operate train doors. The RMT is holding a 48hour strike over changes starting on Wednesday September 7, although a separate walkout for station staff in response to cuts to ticket office opening hours has been suspended. The £20m fund will aim to tackle problems on the line, with extra ‘rapid response teams’ in place, accelerating the replacement of worn tracks, and hiring extra staff at busy stations including East Croydon and Gatwick to make sure trains get away on time. Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, accused the government of ‘ploughing subsidies into a failing private company’, and added: “If the government was serious about sorting the problems with Southern Rail then they would withdraw the damaging requirement for driver-only trains, use this cash to employ the staff needed to run the railway, and give long-suffering passengers the compensation they deserve.”

Anti-radicalisation posters in GP surgeries Posters in Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, and Somali will appear in 19 GP surgeries in Brighton and Hove for parents worried about terrorism and radicalisation. The posters by the NSPCC, which will also be written in English and Welsh, will appear in GP waiting rooms across the country to let people know about a hotline which was set up in response to extremists targeting children.

This comes months after a leaked report said there were concerns that 28 young people in Brighton and Hove were at risk of radicalisation. The service is set to provide a point of support to parents concerned their children are being radicalised, or who need advice on how to talk to them about wider concerns related to terrorism. Its counsellors have been trained by Home Office experts to spot the warning

D PE M M O -VA RO E W R O SH

signs of radicalisation so they can advise adults who are worried about a child being groomed. Adults calling the helpline will be advised about the signs which may hint at a child being radicalised. These include: isolating themselves from family and friends; talking as if from a scripted speech; increased levels of anger; becoming disrespectful and asking inappropriate questions.

An NSPCC spokesman said: “We have seen a wave of terrorist attacks in recent weeks and months and both parents and children tell us how frightened they are by what is happening. So it is vital that we are here for parents when they need our support and are able to provide them with non-judgemental advice on issues ranging from the wider terrorist threat to the dangers of radicalisation.”

The Big Lemon wants to switch to electric buses

Buses powered by solar panels

Bex Bastable

bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable

Solar panels on the roof of The Big Lemon’s bus depot could power its three new electric buses. The bus company has teamed up with Brighton Energy Co-op, in a joint bid for a share of the M&S Community Energy Fund, which awards cash to green schemes. If they get the funding to install 120 solar panels on the roof of the Boundary Road depot, it could generate 30kWh of electricity. This would power the 52 route between Woodingdean and Brighton city centre on 100 per cent renewable energy,

with no emissions coming from the bus at all. Will Cottrell, chair of the Brighton Energy Co-op, said: “It’s great to be working with The Big Lemon on the innovative ‘Solar Bus’ project. Brighton Energy Co-op has many exciting projects, but never before have we covered the roof of a bus depot in solar panels to power the buses that live there. “This is the first project of its kind in the UK – a very exciting time for us and a project that puts Brighton and Hove at the forefront of renewable energy and transport in the UK.” The M&S Community Energy Fund launched in July 2015 and has already funded 26 projects around

the country. This year there is £350,000 up for grabs, and the winning projects are chosen by a public vote. The total cost of the 120-panel installation will be £25,000. The Solar Bus project is hoping to raise half of that through crowdfunding, and attract enough votes from members of the public to win £12,500 of funding from M&S Energy. Tom Druitt, managing director of The Big Lemon, said: “We are calling on everyone who wants zeroemissions buses powered on renewable energy in Brighton and Hove to help us in any way they can.” To support the Solar Bus project, visit: www. thebiglemon.com/solarbus

Vote for community centre A community centre needs Brighton and Hove residents to make their votes count in order to win an award for solar panels. Brighton and Hove Energy Services Co-op, a notfor- profit energy services provider, hopes to win an M&S Energy Fund awards so that they can begin a new project at the Hollingdean Community Centre. Having successfully made the shortlist from more than 246 competing entries, the proposal to install solar panels, LED lighting and roof insulation for the community

centre will now go to a public vote. During September, people around the country will be able to vote online for which projects they think deserve a share of the prize money. Kayla Ente, founder of Brighton and Hove Energy Services Co-op, explained how the project could help save the community centre thousands of pounds a year: “We estimate that the combination of a rooftop solar array as well as energy saving lighting and insulation will save the community centre over £100,000 over

the 20-year lifetime of the panels.” Speaking about the importance of the project to the local community, Claire Debenham, a Trustee for the Community Centre, said: “Hollingdean is a brilliant area full of wonderful people. We really value this building and we really want to keep it open, and we know we need to save a lot of money to do that. We want to show just what one centre can do – without costing the Earth!”.

Brighton ‘one of the worst places to make a living’ Bex Bastable

bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable

People looking to find their fortune should think about moving to Burnley, as new research has revealed it to be the best place in the UK to make a living. But Brighton was ranked 53 out of 57 towns and cities in the UK. Research from credit comparison site TotallyMoney.com looked at criteria such as employment rates, average wages and cost of living to find the best places to live in the UK, from a financial perspective. In Brighton, the median monthly take-home salary was £1,774, just £97 more than the average monthly mortgage repayment of £1,677. This compares with topranked Burnley, which has a monthly take-home of £1,466, with average mortgage repayments at £344 - a difference of £1,122.

Brighton might be a tourist hotspot, but it’s not the best place to earn a good living, according to new research

Brighton’s unemployment rate, at 6.1 per cent, was higher than Burnley’s 5.5 per cent, with job growth in Brighton at one per cent, compared to four per cent in Burnley. Cllr Warren Morgan, leader of the council, said: “Many surveys show Brighton and Hove as being one of the best places to live, and it is that popularity that in part fuels the increase in property

prices which has pushed the city up this table. We are building 500 new council homes, and have launched an innovative new project to build over a thousand truly affordable homes, at 60 per cent of market rates, to make living and working in the city more affordable. “In addition we are working hard to bring down our housing waiting lists and make the private rented

sector fairer for tenants. There is a limit to what we can do to intervene in the housing market, and it will take time, but it is one of the many challenges my council administration is facing up to.” Brighton’s not the only south coast town at the bottom of the list. Hastings was the worst-rated town, ranked at 57, and Portsmouth was at number 55. Worthing and Crawley also made the list, ranked 50 and 47 respectively. Joe Gardiner, head of brand and communications at TotallyMoney.com, said: “While scenery, shopping and a nice local pub are all important, people will always want to live in areas where they can be financially secure. This research shows us the true financial-health of an area, and that a town which offers high-paying jobs and expensive restaurants won’t necessarily be the best place to make a living.”

An abandoned restaurant in Little East Street goes up for auction with Clive Emson Auctioneers this month with a guide price of £250,000. In happier days, it was home to Momma Cherri’s Soul Shack, which closed in 2009, after finding fame on Gordon Ramsay show Kitchen Nightmares.

A Week in the City Underground art and music festival Fort Process is a festival like no other – with visitors going underground to listen to performances. The event at Newhaven Fort on Saturday (3 September) will involve half of the visitors making their way through a warren of the fort’s tunnels to hear shows in eerie chambers and bolt holes. Joshua Clark-Legallienne, a Technical Demonstrator in the University of Brighton’s College of Arts and Humanities, said: “This is a multi-disciplinary music and sound art festival and the largest sonic arts event to ever take place in the UK. “It features an extensive

international programme of performances, site-specific sound installations, talks, films, poetry and workshops. Amongst the exhibitors will be 12 recent graduates from the university – primarily from the Digital Music & Sound Arts BA(Hons) and Fine Art MA courses. The Fort Process experience is quite unlike any other: half the festival-goers are hidden underground, making their way through tunnels to listen to performances and above ground the other half are roaming in and out of gun emplacements, radio shacks and laboratories on the fort’s ramparts.”

Take a tour of Saltdean Lido

Visitors will be able to take a peak behind the scenes at the Lido

New map of city’s thousands of elms By Independent reporter

brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy

A unique new illustrated visitor map has been created to detail the sites of Brighton’s elm trees. The map will feature beautifullydrawnillustrations will educate and inform visitors about the city’s elms. Brighton and Hove was granted National Collection status for its elm collection in 1998. The city has more diversity of elm types than any other city in the world. David Sewell from Friends of Pavilion Gardens said: “Elms in Brighton & Hove are part of the National Collection and it is really important they get the recognition they deserve. If this map can help in any small way that will be good.” The city’s current elm population is estimated between 25 – 30,000 mature elm trees and as many elm saplings. Brighton and Hove is internationally renowned for its work managing Dutch elm disease.

Above: Jessica Keane (left) and Jennifer Whitworth (right), from Brighton University, above right: The Preston Twins in Preston Park.

The elm trees were originally planted in large numbers by the Victorians and Edwardians (with some of the trees dating back before Queen Victoria’s reign) due to their tolerance to chalky soil and salty wind. They became increasingly rare after the 1970s due to Dutch elm disease – a fungus carried by beetles that

decimated the Elm population in the UK. Brighton’s unique position between the South Downs and the sea formed natural defences, which helps to keep the city free from disease. The most notable collection of Elms is in Preston Park, home of the “Preston Twins”, considered the largest and oldest surviving English Elms

in the world. Housing developer First Base has partnered with The Friends of Pavilion Gardens Café, The University of Brighton, The Brighton & Lewes Downs UNESCO World Biosphere Region and VisitBrighton to produce the map. First Base has commissioned three design

students from Brighton University to create the maps. Illustration student Gustav Freij and Graphic Design students Jessica Keene and Jennifer Whitworth have spent the last few months working on the project. Gavin Ambrose, Senior Lecturer, Graphic Design, University of Brighton said, “The project is an ideal

combination of design experience for our students and an opportunity to make a significant cultural and environmental impact on the community by encouraging and fostering an interest in our rich living resource.” The Elms Project will be launched officially at the Pavilion Gardens Café later this month.

Tips for top management

Vanessa Williams consultant and director or the Williams Partnership.

nce we become managers and leaders, we are judged by the performance of those working for us. This can be a hard transition from doing the job yourself. Here are five key steps you can take:1. Being your authentic self Work happens through relationships and to be able to build a network of effective relationships requires authenticity and emotional intelligence. Start with being clear about who you are and what your values are. Treat people accordingly; not as a ‘tool’ to get the job done. Seek to understand what they need to do a good job. 2. Providing a common purpose

and direction You only need to take a look at Simon Sinek’s Ted talk to understand the power of knowing ‘why’. A shared understanding of why the business exists, what it is trying to achieve and the steps mapped out to get there, creates a culture where people get on with one another, pull together and work efficiently. 3. Devolve decision making If you are trying to control everything, you’re doing the job below you and not yours. Free up your team by enabling those closest to the customer make the kind of decisions that matter to customers. Be clear about how you add value as a manager/leader and the kind of decisions you should be taking. 4. Collaborative working High performance comes from team working, not command and control. Collaboration is as much about the way you work with other teams and organisations as the ways of working within your own team. Build trust and encourage genuine dialogue so there is a shared purpose supported by clearly defined roles and expectations. 5. Be fast on your feet The world is increasingly an uncertain place which places an onus on everyone to continuously change, adapt and reinvent. To do this, people need to feel safe

Clear out any ‘blame culture’ by being curious; for example, do you understand what made them think that would work? Step into their shoes and step out of thinking “black or white”.

The Coal Porters

Coal Porters take odd, alt-bluegrass tunes on tour Music

Phil Hewitt

Group Arts Editor phil.hewitt@jpress.co.uk

The Coal Porters embark on their fourth British tour with new additions Paul Fitzgerald on banjo and Adele’s fiddler Kerenza Peacock. They play The Greys, Southover Street, Brighton, on Monday, September 19. Spokeswoman Jill Lerner said: “The Coal Porters started playing acoustic music around 2002 in London when ex-Long Ryder Sid Griffin decided to turn away from electric music. “Since then, the band’s unique combination of folk/ indie/bluegrass/Celtic has demonstrated the power of fiddle, mandolin, banjo,

acoustic guitar and doghouse bass when matched with sweet harmonies set against strong melodies.” Jill continued: “The Coal Porters have wowed audiences at numerous UK and European arts centres. They have done no fewer than four North American tours and performed to tens of thousands at festivals such as Glastonbury, HebCelt, Stagecoach (USA), Larmer Tree, Didmarton, LaRoche (France), Cork Midsummer Fest (Eire), Wombwell and Hultsfredsfestivalen (Sweden). “The Coal Porters are Sid’s dear friend and band co-founder Neil Robert Herd on guitar and vocals, Paul Fitzgerald on banjo and harmony vocals, Andrew Stafford on doghouse

bass, and the classicallytrained Kerenza Peacock on fiddle and vocals. Herd is a songwriter of note, Paul Fitzgerald invented his own banjo technique copied by many in the UK, Andrew Stafford is music business’ litigation expert and fiddler Kerenza Peacock has recorded two hit classical CDs, recorded with Paul Weller and Eric Clapton, and is currently on a world tour in Adele’s band. “Their new album, No 6, is produced by John Wood, the British folk-rock mastermind who recorded the classic albums of Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Beth Orton and Squeeze.” For tickets visit ents24. com/brighton-events/ the-greys/the-coalporters/4680931.

who supported his mother through Alzheimer’s Disease until her death in 2010.

Cheerful pop from Undateables star Music

Phil Hewitt

Group Arts Editor phil.hewitt@jpress.co.uk

Brighton-based Daniel Wakeford, an emerging star on the UK’s learning disabled music scene, has released his debut album, The Songs Of Gigs, via Carousel. It comes promised as pure and ecstatic pop from a charismatic and honest individual. Daniel, who is on the autistic spectrum, has been writing and recording music since 2009. Working alongside musician Tom Cook, Daniel brings lyrics and a melody to him every Friday, and within an hour and a half a song will be created. Taking this approach, Daniel has amassed a back catalogue of more than 60 songs. Ten of them have been taken to Metway Studios, Brighton, re-recorded and compiled to create his first album. Daniel’s songs are about his life and the things

he loves, from his family and friends to Beethoven. The album has been released through Carousel (www.carousel.org.uk), the learning disability arts organisation that supports him as an artist. It will build on the exposure he has already gained on TV. In recent years, Daniel has gained a following with his show-stealing appearances on Channel 4’s The Undateables. The team around him hope his album will portray a positive image of learningdisabled people in the media and help highlight the challenges faced by musicians with learning disabilities. To back up the release, Daniel joined up with Constant Flux, with funding from Arts Council England, to put together a tour to promote his album. This tour culminates at Together The People on Saturday, September 3, at 6pm when he plays ahead of Brian Wilson. Constant Flux was started by Richard Phoenix, from

the punk band Sauna Youth, in 2013 to create more opportunities for musicians with learning disabilities. Combining two seeminglyseparate areas of music – the learning disabled music scene and the UK’s large DIY music community – Constant Flux has been instrumental in developing the idea of integrated and accessible shows. Constant Flux aims to help develop networks and audiences to make integrated shows happen more in the UK, thereby inspiring more engagement with the learningdisability community, providing a stage for positive and empowering musicians with learning disabilities and creating more chances for their music and voices to be heard. Daniel is delighted at the way everything has come together: “I have been a long time working on the album. It was five years, and it is my first album. I am from Brighton, and I used to go to Tom Cook

Two fun-packed days with the best alternative bands Music

It’s nearly time for the fourth Undercover Festival, which takes place on Friday and Saturday, September 9-10, at Brighton Racecourse. It offers two days packed full of the best alternative music around, including punk, ska, dub, reggae, postpunk, acoustic and more. Although the only festival in Brighton to have onsite camping, every stage at Undercover benefits from being indoors so even the worst weather won’t ruin the party. Everything is nearby too so there are no long walks between stages. Parking is free and camping is available a one-minute walk from the festivities. Undercover Festival’s headline acts include: The Selecter, Dreadzone, Spear Of Destiny, Sonic Boom Six, Eddie and The Hot Rods, Peter & The Test Tube Babies, plus an exceptional supporting line-up. Other bands lined up for the festival include: 999, Chelsea, Sex Pistols Experience, Xslf (X Stiff Little Fingers), The Tuts, The Meow Meows, Rage DC, Xtraverts, Emergency Bitter, Mick O’Toole, Riskee

singing lessons for seven years. I have been writing for myself as well from 2009-2016. “I like writing. I write about everything. I have written about Beethoven. Beethoven was a great musician from a long time ago, and everybody has heard of him and likes him.” He is delighted too to have family backing: “My dad always enjoyed watching me perform. They love music.” As for influences, Daniel is a big fan of ABBA and Bucks Fizz and also S Club 7 and One Direction. He also likes The Saturdays – all great bands to listen to on tour, taking in their music on his iPad as he travels by train: “I really like to travel around Britain on like a holiday,” he says. And then comes the performing: “I am really happy when I am performing. My music makes me really happy. If I was not a musician, I would be a songwriter.” To buy tickets for Daniel’s Brighton show visit www. togetherthepeople.co.uk.

Brighton Early Music Festival (BREMF) is crowd-funding to make its multimedia Gaia project a reality. Co-artistic director Clare Norburn said: “Here at Brighton Early Music Festival we like to tackle an ambitious project or two. “This year’s biggest project is Gaia, a multimedia extravaganza, which will be performed in St Bartholomew’s Church on November 12. Gaia tells the story of the earth, from the core to the skies, and is a brand-new BREMF production involving both the BREMF Consort of Voices and the BREMF Community Choir, as well as professional performers well-known to BREMF audiences including the English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble.” She continued: “150 performers will perform music by Brumel, Monteverdi and others, alongside specially-commissioned

We are thrilled that a group of generous donors have promised us £5,000 if BREMF can raise a further £5,000 through our Gaia Appeal by September 12.” Clare added: “Gaia is a modern take on the intermedi of the 16th century. Intermedi were major music and drama spectacular shows with special theatrical machinery effects, the most famous of which wowed the Medici court in 1589 as part of the most expensive wedding celebrations of all time! “We’re bringing together music and drama from the 16th and 17th centuries with a very 21st century alternative to the impressive stage machinery of the original intermedi. Instead of planets and stars operated by pulleys we’re using film, projections, lighting effects, mime, yoga and dance to tell the story of our Earth and how humans

have perceived it through the ages. “The music includes extracts from Antoine Brumel’s earth-shattering Earthquake Mass and from Monteverdi’s Orfeo to beautiful pastoral madrigals and motets celebrating the Queen of Heaven.” Clare continued: “Gaia is an ambitious project, which will increase the festival’s budget for 2016. As a small charity, which has to start each year’s fundraising from scratch in a difficult financial climate, we need to attract support from a variety of sources in order to be successful. While funding from trusts and the Arts Council plays a part in underpinning the festival, it is our grass-roots support and embedding in the local community which makes BREMF truly unique. And what better way to show this uniqueness than through a community-funded community project! Visit www.crowdfunder. co.uk/gaia-appeal.

Food and Drink

By Tom Flint

Indulgent, exciting and still challenging perceptions Terre à Terre

Brighton Bakery

An indulgent dessert

By Philippa Kelly

brightonbakery@yahoo.co.uk

100% VEGAN

71 East Street 01273 729051 http://www.terreaterre.co.uk/ erre à Terre have been challenging common perceptions of vegetarian cuisine since 1993 winning numerous accolades along the way. They have been at the forefront of vegetarian cuisine for the past twenty years and show no signs of slowing down. With that in mind I had very high expectations as I walked into the restaurant on a sunny Wednesday evening. I am greeted by the extremely friendly and welcoming staff and shown to my table at the back of the deceptively large restaurant. The staff are already busy with a large group taking up a lot of their attention but they still have time to check on the other tables. As per usual I am left waiting for my photographer to show up and order a gin martini whilst I wait for him to appear, poor me. I am currently in the throes of a minor martini addiction and it doesn’t look like ending after this one. Whilst I peruse the menu, taking in the unfeasibly long list of ingredients in each dish, I am also handed a copy of the Terre à Terre cookbook to leaf through. Never before have I read a book with such complex recipes and numbers of ingredients. I am starting to understand the amount of work and expertise that does into every dish. I order some crispy fried lavash bread (£9.50) whilst I wait and am presented with some rather delicious morsels of spiced bread with North African inspired dips. As pre-dinner nibbles go they keep me occupied and I nibble contentedly. Ali arrives and we decide to go for the Terre à Tapas sharing plate (£15pp) to start. As the large table break into a rendition of happy birthday, we decide on our mains. With playfully named dishes and the aforementioned ingredient list, which suits a restaurant that appeals to

Bakery Bulletin

Mixed tapas

those with specific dining requirements, the menu is not one to scan through. We eventually settle on “Cinders Will Go to the Ball” (£15.95) for me and Ali picks the “Sneaky Peeking Steamers” (£15.50) with a little assistance from our waiter. We settle into our surroundings and I am impressed to see how busy the restaurant is on a normal midweek evening. Even with a pretty full restaurant the staff are very attentive and the place does not feel cramped or too loud. We sip our Riesling from the 100% organic wine list, many of which are also biodynamic, and wait for our food to arrive. When the tapas plate arrives I can see why many people choose it as a group starter. There is a lovely selection of dishes from across the menu and it is difficult to remember everything the waitress tells us. I am pleased to get a taste of their signature halloumi in chip shop batter which is exceptionally good. The rest of the platter starts to mix into one huge plate of food although the KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) is another stand out element. It’s a good start but I found that a few of the elements could have offered more to be memorable. My main, as the name suggests, contains pine cinders with the main focal point

of the dish being a goat’s cheese soufflé. Visually the dish is very impressive with vibrant colours and exceptional plating. I tuck in and there is a lot going on in the dish with different textures and flavours all sitting happily together. I feel that the texture of the soufflé could be a little lighter and it could have a more prominent goats cheese tang, but I am being hyper critical. The “Sneaking Peeking Steamers” are a take on Chinese steamed rice buns with Szechuan marinated halloumi at its centre and a plethora of paraphernalia to play with. Served in a traditional steamer basket they certainly look the part and with two layers of buns the portions are certainly not stingy. The halloumi has been transformed into Chinese style pork with consummate skill and is almost indistinguishable from the real thing - almost. There is an overriding sweetness to the dish but this does not detract from the fact it is an incredibly accomplished piece of cookery. Feeling somewhat full we back out on dessert and share a plate of Frisky Fives (£6.70) which is a small selection of bite size puds. We also cannot resist the Salted Caramel Appletini and Chocolate Orange Martini (both £8.50). The selection of petit fours is perfect and make me wish I’d left room for a larger dessert. Of the liquid desserts the Appletini is an absolute stunner and highly recommended. Terre à Terre is not so much a vegetarian restaurant, rather it is a fine dining restaurant that happens to also be vegetarian. Unlike other vegetarian restaurants in the city, Terre à Terre is the full package in terms of providing the total restaurant experience. It is indulgent, exciting and the service is second to none. I had extremely high expectations before the visit, and whilst I feel there could have been some improvements in terms of punchier flavours and the texture of the soufflé, the overall experience lived up to them.

ienna: the capital of Austria; The City Of Music (Beethoven lived there); The City Of Dreams (so did Sigmund Freud), but still, when we think of Austria, we just think Hitler. In 1913, Adolf Hitler, Leon Trotsky, Freud, and the two Josephs - neither of whom had a coat of many colours (Tito and Stalin) - all lived within a few miles of each other. Vienna is the birthplace of the Weiner Schnitzel, the Sachertorte, the world’s oldest zoo, and the United Nations Headquarters. Viennese whirls are British. Nein! Das ist nicht possible. Ja, das ist totally possible. Let me explain... Anyone else remember Basil Fawlty saying that to Manuel before prodding him in the eyes? No? Just me then. The bland back-story of Viennese Whirls can begin in Austria if you like. Linz is best known for Johannes Kepler. He was super clever and there’s lots of stuff named after him: Johannes Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion (they’re not all that long-winded), Kepler College (see?), Kepler’s Supernova, and there are also roads, a mountain, a gymnasium, a lunar crater, and our favourite is a set of geometrical constructions. We’re not sure what that means, we just like the name - Kepler’s Solids. Linz is also known for creating the world’s oldest cake, The Austrian Linzer Torte. Whereas that suggests a stale antiquity, or an old tart, it is the recipe, not an actual cake, that has been in existence since 1653. Next stop: Scotland. Inspired by the Linzer Torte, the Scots created a biscuit called the Linzer biscuit. Also known as the Deutche biscuit, it consisted of two shortbreads, with jam in between them, and topped with a little puddle of white icing, and the cherry on top was, well, it was a cherry. When the First World War broke out, nobody wanted a Deutche anything, let alone a biscuit, so it was renamed. Empire biscuits became popular throughout the United Kingdom, particularly in Northern Ireland, although there they still insist on calling them German biscuits. How strange, because usually we always agree. When Kipling (the make-believe one, not Rudyard) started piping Empire biscuits through a whirly cone, removed the cherry and icing, and put buttercream in with the jam, Britain had invented the Viennese Whirl. So they’re not completely unrelated to Vienna, but they are completely unrelated to Vienna.

Alfa’s MiTo has a lot to admire by jonathan crouch

The Alfa Romeo MiTo has been progressively updated. Jonathan Crouch of www. caranddriving.com asks whether the most recent changes enough to punt it to the top of premium section of the supermini class? The Alfa Romeo MiTo ought to be a routine fixture in the top five supermini best sellers, but it hasn’t worked out that way. Still, the Mila-

nese brand hasn’t given up with it. In 2014, we got a revised model with slicker styling, a better quality interior, more equipment and a more powerful entry-level petrol engine. More recently, extra ‘Progression’ and ‘Junior’ trim levels have joined the range, as has an EU6-compliant 78bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine. It should all mean that the MiTo’s chances have never lookedbetter.TheMiTorange now comprises five turbocharged engines; four petrol and two diesel units.

At the foot of the range, an EU6-compliant 78bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine is now offered.

MORE CHARGING POINTS THAN £140mspenton roadtriptreats PETROL STATIONS BY 2020

There will be more public electric car charging stations in the UK than traditional fuel stations by the year 2020, according to Nissan.

The car manufacturer noted that the number of petrol stations in Britain has fallen drasticallysince1970,withonly 8,472 nationwide at the end of 2015, down from 37,539 stations 46 years ago. Nissan believesthenumberofUKpetrol stations will drop below 7,870 by August 2020. E l e c tr i c ve h i c l e ( EV ) charging stations, on the other hand, are expected to number around 7,900 by the same point in time. There are currently more than 4,100 EV charging stations in the UK, with numbers having grown from mere hundreds since 2011. Edward Jones, EV manager at Nissan, said: “As electric vehicle sales take off, the charging infrastructure is keeping pace and paving the

wayforconvenientall-electric driving. “Combine that with constant improvements in our battery performance and we believe the tipping point for mass EV uptake is upon us.” JonesbelievestheEVadoption will follow an ‘S-curve’ of

demand, where a gradual uptake from early adopters accelerates to a groundswell of consumers buying EVs in the same fashion they would purchase any other powertrain. Go Ultra Low, the joint government and car industry campaign to raise consumer

awareness of EVs, recorded that 115 new EVs were registered daily in the first quarter of 2016. Thecampaignalsobelieves electric power could become the dominant form of propulsion for all new cars in the UK by as early as 2027.

New research has found that parents in Britain spend £140 million to keep their kids quiet during long journeys. The survey of 1,000 peopleaimedtofindoutjusthow parents kept long journeys hassle-free. Families spend £42 on average per trip to stave off boredom, spending money on entertainment for the children. Money is used not only on games and gadgets, but also food and drink to help the time pass in the back seat. The survey, which was conducted by Skoda, found that nearly a third of parents dread taking their children on a long journey, and regularly spend an amount equivalent to a tank of petrol on in-car entertainment. Despitetheamountspent onkeepingkidsentertained, thephrase“arewethereyet” will still be heard over three million times in cars this summer.

The cry of “I need the toilet” will echo two million times around cars this summer, and “I feel sick” will feature 1.6 million times. However, it appears that the games that have kept children occupied for many years are just as popular today, even with the advancementofportabletechnology.

Top-three finish the aim for Hove coach Alex

Hove Rugby Club coach Alex Robertson is targeting a topthree finish in London 2 South East this season. They get the new season under way on September 10 at home to Deal & Betteshanger and their preparations are now in full swing. Hove won 27-0 at Effingham & Leatherhead in a friendly on Saturday and travel to Old Reigations for another friendly tomorrow, before their league season begins. Hove won five of their final six games last season after they were relegated from London South 1 the previous campaign. Looking ahead to the season, Robertson said: “We finished seventh last year after we got relegated the year before. Last year was more about rebuilding and establishing ourselves but this year we’ve got a pretty good squad. “All of the players have returned, which is really good for us and we’ve got some colts coming through so our main recruitment system is through them. “We’ll look to bring them in during our pre-season games and then we’ll look to finish around third this year and that’s what we believe is quite realistic.” On the strength of the league this year, Robertson

Tymal Mills has been named in England’s T20 squad

Hove Rugby Club coach Alex Robertson

said: “It’s pretty strong this year, there are a lot more Sussex teams coming into play and loads of local derbies, so almost every week is an intense one. “But the boys are up for it, they’re quite happy and they enjoy it. There’s a good team spirit, lots of the players

have come through the ranks here and there are only two or three who are not from the club originally and for us that’s outstanding. “They’re all here to play with their mates as well, so we’ve got to provide an environment where everybody has a good time.”

Hove have two new pitches laid at their Hove Recreation Ground home for the upcoming season. The club has three men’s teams, a women’s side and a colts setup. For more information about the club, visit www. hoverugby.club

Sussex duo Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills have again been named in England’s T20 squad. They are part of a 14man squad for England’s match with Pakistan at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Both Jordan and Mills played in England’s last T20 match, a eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in July when Jordan took 3-29 and paceman Mills returned 0-22 from four overs. Jordan is also part of England’s one-day squad and featured in the fourth match of the series at Headingley yesterday.

West Hove Golf Club retain Division 4 Interclub title Golf

West Hove Golf Club won Division4oftheSussexCounty Ladies Golf Association Interclub Championship Finals at the Nevill last week. The finals are the culmination of six months competition for women golfers of all handicaps. Representing more than 40 Sussex clubs, there were 113 different teams who played in over 400 matches between them. Divisions are organised by handicap ranges, with Divisions 1-3 competing off scratch. Clubs are drawn in a

round robin, with the winners then going on to compete in three rounds of knock-out matches. Worthing successfully defended their Division 1 title, Copthorne won Division 2 and Ashdown Forest were the victors in Division 3. Division 4 is played in teams of five off handicap rather than scratch. This year holders West Hove beat Holtye 3-2 as Jill Corbett closed out her match 2&1 to retain the title. The West Hove team was Jackie Pinker, Julie Macadam, Rita Hedderman, Bernice Lowe and Corbett.

Sussex gained their second County Championship Division 2 win of the season last Friday when, chasing 233 to win, they won by two wickets and with 20 balls to spare at Glamorgan. The win kept Sussex’s slim promotion hopes alive and Sussex captain Luke Wright said afterwards: “Chasing 233 was always going to be difficult, but credit to Ben Brown and Danny Briggs who set up the win with a 55-run stand.” Sussex are currently in action at Hove against Kent, with today the third of four days in their County Championship match.

Albion chief executive Paul Barber says keeping hold of the club’s best players was vital to push for promotion again this season. The transfer window drew to a close on Wednesday evening with Dale Stephens – despite repeated interest from Burnley – and all of Brighton’s other key players remaining at the club. Albion also added defender Shane Duffy, from Blackburn, and Sebastien Pocognoli, on loan from West Brom, to their squad in the last week and speaking to www.seagulls. co.uk, Barber said: “Our key objective this summer was to retain our best players which, despite a lot of interest and a number of offers for different players in our squad, we have managed to do. “We have an excellent group of players here at the Albion and, having narrowly missed out on reaching the Premier League last season, we felt it was very important

Shane Duffy joined Albion from Blackburn Rovers last week

to keep the group together for another promotion challenge this year. “We also wanted to add more depth to our squad in the three key central areas. By bringing in Glenn Murray, Ollie Norwood, Shane Duffy and re-signing Steve Sidwell, we’ve achieved this too. “Liam Rosenior’s injury at Reading will see him miss

at least three months of this season, so this meant we also needed to add further cover at full-back. We were therefore delighted to secure Sebastien Pocognoli on a season-long loan from West Bromwich Albion.” Brighton had hoped to add an attacking player to their squad late in the transfer window, having missed out

on signing Alex Pritchard last month. Barber said: “Our fans know, we will only spend money on players that strengthen our group, and in an over-heated market we won’t over-pay for alternatives that simply don’t meet this objective and would just be a case of adding numbers.”

Whitehawk Football Club boss Pablo Asensio admits his side’s performances must improve if they are to start climbing up the National League South table. A tough first month of the season was rounded off last weekend with a 3-1 defeat at St Albans City on Saturday, then a scoreless home draw with basement boys Concord Rangers two days later. Skipper Sergio Torres’ wonderstrike got Hawks back in it at St Albans before the hosts went on to win. Since taking the job full-time in the summer, Asensio’s league return to date has seen Whitehawk win once and collect six points from seven matches. The Argentine manager believes it has not been good enough so far and wants to see improved performances. He said: “Our results so far have not been what I was hoping and we need to get better. “We had several players come in over the summer but they have had one month now and must start performing. “The back end of last season was great but this season has been a struggle so far.

Whitehawk captain Sergio Torres

“September is a massive month for us and it is important we start to collect some points.” Whitehawk kick off the second month of the season with a trip to Bath City on Saturday, before travelling to Hemel Hempstead three days later. Asensio is hopeful his side can start September with some positive results. He added: “Last season we got a great win at Bath and we’ll look to do the same again. “They have a very nice pitch and I get on with their manager. It’s a place with good memories for me and I hope it stays that way. “Hemel have some players who were with us last season and it will be interesting for us.” LEWIS MASON

encouraged to get along to local games and show support for the teams who are often mostly run by volunteers. It’s a chance for Albion fans to spend an afternoon on the terrace with a pint in hand and get their football fix at a ground they have never been to or haven’t visited in a long time. This season’s event also falls on an FA Cup weekend, with a number of Sussex sides in action at home in the first round of qualifying for the competition at 3pm on Saturday afternoon. Ryman Division One

South side Lewes, managed by former Seagulls striker Darren Freeman, will be hopeful of making it to the next round when they play host to Kent County League side Sevenoaks Town. Also in cup action are Ryman Premier side Worthing. Joint managed by former Albion defender Gary Elphick and Jon Meeney, Worthing will be looking to match or better their run to the third qualifying round last season when they take on Carshalton Athletic at Woodside Road.

Transfer Deadline Day rises and falls as quickly as a soufflé

oments. Trending. Mentions. Notifications. It’s all out there in the Twittersphere! The vernacular of social media is growing that’s for sure. It certainly comes to the fore with breaking news or when a big event is happening. This week threw up the unlikely clash of Transfer Deadline Day and Great British Bake Off. It’s common nowadays to watch a programme or event while simultaneously commenting, searching or reacting on social media with the appropriate hash tags. Your friends get involved. And your work colleagues. Whether it is the answer from a politician on Question Time, a rude innuendo from a cake judge or comment from a footballer as they complete or fail to complete a move to another club there is something to talk about and we’ll react to. Although you may be sat in front of the flat screen with or without your other half or children you observe and interact with others in other towns, counties and countries. It’s a bit like one big flash mob. As I monitored feeds, websites, hash tags and individuals on Wednesday

Stephens staying is Albion’s best transfer business PICTURE BY PHIL WESTLAKE

night it occurred to me that there must be so many others doing the same. Deadline Day builds up to 11pm with a crescendo perpetuated by Sky Sports News but it can rise and fall as quickly as one of the contestants soufflés. As my daughter clasped the remote with no intention of distancing herself from BBC One, I was still there swirling around in the virtual world. Up came one signing as expected at Crawley Town. As it turned out there was no major announcement from the Albion and I could maybe have paid more attention to how to bake a Vienese swirl. Or was it a whirl. They looked tasty for sure but I may never know. Time for the BBC iPlayer perhaps. Luckily I won’t have to relive Deadline Day again until January when it comes around again. Whether it’s Louise’s biscuits or Wilshere’s deal at Bournemouth, anyone can join the party on social media. Of course, as long as it’s in good taste.

Albion kept their squad together in the transfer window

s your glass half full or half empty as an Albion fan after the transfer window came to a close on Wednesday evening? There have been numerous flashpoints over the past few weeks, with players linked with moves in and out of the Amex. One key point, though, is Albion have a stronger squad now than they did at this stage last season when, remember, they started their Championship campaign with a 21-game unbeaten run. Keeping Dale Stephens is arguably Albion’s most important piece of summer business. The midfielder was a key part of last season’s success and there’s no doubt Brighton would be weaker in central midfield had he gone. He’s a hard-tackling, in-your-face, midfield general and would have been almost impossible to replace had he been sold so late in the transfer window. Burnley repeatedly bid for the 27-year-old but it’s worth more to Albion keeping him and potentially reaching the Premier League, than selling him now and not finding an adequate replacement. Yes, he could go on a free at the end of the season but that’s definitely a risk worth taking for Brighton. I know some fans have spoken about having an unhappy player in the dressing room now but there seems such a strong team spirit at the club, I can’t see that being the case. In an honest statement on Wednesday night, Stephens admitted he was disappointed not to be given the chance to join a Premier League club but will now honour his contract and you wouldn’t expect anything less. Stephens doesn’t come across as a trouble-maker, so if and when he’s

called upon by Chris Hughton, I’m sure we’ll see the same level of commitment which we saw last season. Two other midfielders, Steve Sidwell – who was on loan last season – and Oliver Norwood also joined Albion this summer and create strong competition for places for the Albion but, for me, the partnership of Kayal and Stephens is the best in the division. Glenn Murray returned this summer and will find the back of the net on a regular basis, while keeping Anthony Knockaert is also a massive statement of intent from the Seagulls. The best player in the division on his day, he’s started the season in outstanding fashion, seemingly on a mission to ensure Albion are right at the top again. There was some disappointment among Brighton fans that a forward or number ten-type player was not signed. Obviously that was an area Albion were looking to strengthen as they almost brought in Alex Pritchard before his last-minute move to Norwich. However, Knockaert could easily play the role just behind the striker, especially with Solly March closing in on a first-team return. If he returns in the form before his injury in December, it will be better than a new signing anyway. And that’s also not forgetting Albion have signed defender Shane Duffy from Blackburn and Sebastien Pocognoli on loan from West Bromich Albion, both strong additions to the squad. Keeping hold of their best players was more key to Brighton this transfer window than making several signings. They’ve done that, so I firmly believe they will be in the promotion mix again this season.

Minds and laptops work better when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open.
