Long winter of strikes for commuters as talks to resolve rail dispute break down Bex Bastable
bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable
The rail union in dispute with Govia Thameslink (GTR) said it was ‘angry and disappointed’ that a last ditch attempt to avert further strike action failed. Long-suffering commuters can expect a three-day rail strike next week, with a further four strikes between now and Christmas. The RMT union is in dispute with Southern’s rail operator GTR, which is set to push forward with its plans for driver-only operations which would see drivers open
and close train doors. The dispute has already seen conductors take strike action five times this year and final talks between the union and GTR broke down yesterday (Thursday). The union – which has safety concerns over the proposals – said its offer of having a transition period to allow the current guards to migrate across to the new role was rejected by GTR. But GTR blamed the collapse of talks on the RMT for not accepting its offer – which included a one-off £2,000 payment for conductors – and said it would press ahead with its plans.
Mick Cash, general secretary at the RMT, said: “The union is angry and disappointedthat a fresh setof proposals put forward by the union today that address both our issues and the company agenda have been rejected out of hand with barely a cursory glance.” However Charles Horton, chief executive of GTR, said: “I’m deeply disappointed that the RMT leadership have rejected our offer – their counter-proposal didn’t come anywhere near our goals of modernising our train service for the benefit of passengers.” SEE PAGE 3
This week marks 150 years since the West Pier first opened to the public, and a series of celebratory events have been planned. Last night, as the Brighton & Hove Independent went to press, the remains of the pier were set to be bathed in colour with multi-coloured lights. The illuminations will take place again tonight (Friday) from 6pm, to mark the milestone. The West Pier Trust has also planned a series of talks and film screenings as part of the anniversary celebrations. To find out more, visit: www.westpier.co.uk/events

£25,000 raised to take on the government over Southern Bex Bastable
bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable
A commuter group hoping to launch a legal challenge against the government over its handling of Southern Rail has raised its target of £25,000 for a judicial review. The Association of British Commuters announced on Tuesday, that it had hit its initial target to start legal action against the Department for Transport (DfT), and thanked more than 1,000 people for donating. Summer Dean, the Brighton-based commuter who set up the crowdfunder alongside Emily Yates, said: “Thank you to every single person who has supported and donated to our campaign – this has been a case of true team work and every one of our thousands of supporters should feel proud. “Reaching the £25,000
target is a huge achievement and a true indication of the strength of public feeling against the Southern Rail crisis. “Our lawyers have been hard at work since we broke the initial target of £10,000 on day three, and are now working harder than ever to achieve transparency from the Department for Transport. “The public have a right to know why they have suffered such daily stress, inconvenience and danger. The disabled have a right to know why they can no longer access rail travel to any reasonable standard. Businesses have a right to know why they have suffered such severe economic damage through the collapse of an infrastructure that should have been protected by our government. These are the people we are fighting for, and we will not give up.”

Reduced rail timetable for strike days The RMT union is to take strike action from Tuesday until Thursday next week, in a dispute over conductor roles with rail operator Govia Thameslink. SouthernRailsaidareduced service would run between Brighton and London, and trains are expected to be very busy. Passengers travelling along the coast towards Worthing in the west and Eastbourne in the east, will see a muchreduced service. Services from Brighton to Bognor Regis via Worthing will run between 7.30am and 6.30pm – including services between Brighton and Hove. To the east, services from Brighton to Eastbourne, which includes London Road, Moulsecoomb, Falmer and Lewes, will run from 7.30am to 10.30pm. London-bound commuters from Hove will need to change at Brighton, as no service will run between Hove and Preston Park on strike days. To find out more, visit: www.southernrailway.com
Rail operator’s strike back call criticised as ‘beyond childish’ An ill-fated PR campaign backfired on Southern Rail, after it called on its passengers to condemn the RMT for a series of upcoming strikes. The rail operator told commuters to ‘strike back’ at the union over five walkouts planned between now and Christmas. The campaign included newspaper advertisements and social media posts which said: “The RMT won’t listen to us. But they may listen to you. Time to get back on track. Tweet @RMTunion and tell them how rail strikes make you feel.” But many long-suffering commuters soon turned on Southern, with Twitter users calling the company ‘beyond childish’, a ‘joke’, and criticising their ‘ridiculous behaviour’. Simon Wibberley, 29, a researcher at the University of Sussex from Hollingdean, said: “I’m just astounded that somebody sat round a meeting table thought through that, said it was a good idea and went ahead with it. It was clearly going to backfire, it’s hilarious.” Jed Egan, 41, a research manager who lives by the seafront and commutes to Gatwick daily, said: “I thought it was a very strange thing, given that would only work if

they were providing a reliable service without the strikes. But they’ve had a pretty bad track record of punctuality even before they brought all the changes which led to the strikes.” Elaine McDonald, 72, who is retired and lives in central Brighton said: “I think it’s bullying and I think the whole thing should have been resolved by now. I can’t understand why it’s gone on so long.” Ed Chartier, 34, an e-commerce manager from
Lewes, said: “At the moment I’m just tired with the ongoing struggle and also not knowing when it will actually be finished, when they’ll actually come to a solution.” On Wednesday, Southern withdrew the ‘Let’s Strike Back’ campaign, and the RMT union has made a complaint after it said there had been a negative public backlash and an ‘incitement to violence against staff’.

Cameras to monitor flytipping in the city Bex Bastable
bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable
Brighton and Hove City Council is set to introduce CCTV cameras in an attempt to tackle flytipping in the city. This comes after the introduction of ‘flytipping police’ in February, and council leader Warren Morgan said: “If you dump it we will come after you and fine you. That’s a promise.” The council started using contractors 3GS to issue fixed penalty notices of up to £300 for flytipping, and in the first six months they issued 1,082 penalty notices, compared to just 80 in the whole of the 2014/15 financial year. The city has ‘a major problem’ with large items of furniture and household goods being dumped in streets – particularly next to communal waste and recycling bins, according to the council.
A new way to tackle flytipping
Cash collected from fixed penalty notices will be used to pay for the new cameras, deployed at flytipping hotspots. Chair of the environment committee Cllr Gill Mitchell said: “I challenged a couple dumping a mattress in the street the other day. They said their landlord told them to dump it and the council would collect it. In fact it’s a criminal offence. Residents living around the Royal
Sussex County Hospital have asked that 3GS patrol that area more frequently due to the amount of cigarette litter dropped in their streets. The hospital is of course a nosmoking area and the Trust provide plenty of bins. In future people committing these environmental crimes will increasingly pay, instead of residents.” The council says it would ‘respect people’s privacy’ but would use CCTV in a targeted way to tackle flytipping at problem locations. Environmental crimes common in the city range from flytipping, flyposting and littering to unauthorised distribution of leaflets. Businesses illegally dumping rubbish in communal bins is a growing problem, according to the council, increasing the city’s waste rates. A report on the cameras is going to the environment, transport and sustainability committee on Tuesday.
A rooftop revolution New canvas space for street art PHOTOGRAPH: PAULA SEAGER
It was soon after the i360 opened its doors to the public that Cllr Robert Nemeth called for ‘a rooftop revolution’ in Brighton and Hove. The Conservative councillor wrote in the Brighton & Hove Independent that over the coming year more than one million eyes are likely to look across the rooftops of the city from the i360’s glass pod. He talked about ‘wasted roof space’ and called upon residents and businesses to turn this space into something inspiring. And Sascha Koehler, general manager of the Brighton Hilton Metropole Hotel, this week unveiled street art on the roof of the hotel by street artist Aroe.

Sixth form is set to explore converting to an academy Bex Bastable
bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable
Brighton, Hove and Sussex VI Form College (BHASVIC) is to consider becoming an academy in a bid to save hundreds of thousands of pounds a year. The sixth form – judged ‘outstanding’ by education watchdog Ofsted in 2012 – said moving to academy status would save £320,000 a year in VAT, which sixth forms have to pay but academies do not. William Baldwin, the newly-appointed principal at BHASVIC, said the sixth form was ‘exploring the options’. He said: “We have got a carrot dangled in front of us which is the VAT rebate.” He said eight years of funding cuts from central government meant the additional £320,000 a year would be significant. But he stressed that the extra cash would be the only thing to noticeably change if the sixth form was to convert. Mr Baldwin said: “BHASVIC would stay the same. I hope students would not notice any difference, apart from a bit more money to spend on their education.” Mr Balwin said a decision
– made by governors – would probably not be made until spring next year. He said: “I would say I do not know which way it’s going to go, and I am very aware of the local opposition to academies and in some ways, rightly so. But sixth forms already work autonomously from the local authority. It is different from a local authority school becoming an academy. We are not going to going an academy chain, we are not going to became a multi-academy trust, the only option we are looking at is a single academy.” Cllr Tom Bewick, chair of the city’s children, young people and skills committee, said: “The decision to convert to an academy is a matter for the governors. However, I believe local parents should be consulted on the proposed move. It would be a pity if BHASVIC were to convert to an academy solely on the basis that central government was dangling a tax wheeze in front of them. Theses decisions should be made on an educational basis and reflect the needs of the local community.” Mr Baldwin said if BHASVIC governors decided to move towards academy status, consultation would take place.

Recycling wheelie bins set to be rolled out Around 60,000 households across Brighton and Hove could soon be offered wheelie bins for recycling. Members of the council’s environment, transport and sustainability committee are being asked to give the go ahead for an extension of the wheelie bin recycling trial in Hangleton and Portslade, which saw recycling rates increase by four per cent. More than 95 per cent of residents taking part in the
trial told the council that using wheelie bins made it easier to recycle. At a meeting on October 11, councillors will be asked to agree to make the scheme available to all households with room to store a wheelie bin – around 60,000 homes across the city. Cllr Gill Mitchell, chair of the environment committee, said: “We know that there is a strong demand for recycling wheelie bins from residents
in other areas of the city so I am pleased that we are now in a position to consider extending the service to many more households.” Until recently, all city residents benefiting from kerbside recycling collections used black boxes to store paper, card, cans and plastic bottles for recycling. If agreed, residents will be issued with 240 litre wheelie bins (the equivalent of five black boxes) for recycling
along with a box for glass. The collection frequency will remain the same. Residents will still be asked to keep glass in a separate box to maintain the quality of recycling as shards of glass mixed with paper can hamper the recycling process. The scheme is estimated to cost around £1.1 million, will need to be approved by the council’s policy, resource and growth committee.

Pioneering older people’s festival ‘the first of many’

A festival for older people in Brighton and Hove attracted more than 1,500 people, with events ranging from backstage tours of The Brighton Dome to learning about internet security. The Brighton and Hove Older People’s Festival was the first of its kind in the city, organised by charity Impact Initiatives. Caroline Ridley, CEO of Impact Initiatives, said: “Our aim was to put on events which older people would want to get involved in and which would encourage people to get out and about, see what the city has to offer, meet like-minded people and to try something new.” The festival was supported by a grant from Brighton and Hove City Council and local businesses to celebrate the UN International Older People’s Day on October 1. This was marked with
St John Child features in a photography exhibition
a music event at the Open Market, and a range of taster sessions at the Hop 50+ in Palmeira Square. A key part of the festival was a photographic exhibition at the Brighton Dome by Brighton-based photographer Maria Scard,
and highlighted inspirational older people in the city. These included 79-yearold St John Child who twice a week cycles up to Devil’s Dyke and also regularly enjoys kayaking in the sea. Ms Ridley said she hoped this year’s event would be the
first of many Older People’s Festivals, and said: “Many people see Brighton and Hove as a place for young people but there are over 38,000 older people here too who want to be involved try something new and enjoy life in the city.”

Upset over loss of Stanmer Horses Aidan Williams
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
A rescue sanctuary and its surrounding fields have been left ‘desolate’ following the removal of almost 40 horses over an alleged tenancy dispute. Thirty-eight animals were removed from Stanmer Horses on September 19 by GRC Bailiffs on behalf of Brighton and Hove City Council. The horses are currently at an undisclosed location while waiting for claims from ‘legal owners’. A council spokesman said the removal was due to the sanctuary not having met its obligations under the tenancy agreement.
However, Stanmer Horses says it has made claims for all of the horses, is the legal owner and claims the horses were taken without warning. In a statement on Facebook the sanctuary said: “The emotional connections within the herd are far reaching and given a lot of the horses have already had an undesirable start to their lives, the impact of dissolving the herd would be far reaching.” Stanmer Horses is run by Danny Cross from Telescombe, and has been based in Stanmer for the past three-and-a-half years. A council spokesman said: “It is regrettable that we have had to pursue this course of action but given the lack

of engagement with us and, having considered all other alternatives, we concluded that there was only one sensible course of action open to us.” If the horses are not claimed by today (Friday), the council says they will be rehomed. In an online statement, the Stanmer Residents Committee said: “These horses have been part of our community here for some years, well known and loved by visitors and villagers alike. The fields and stables are not merely empty without them, but feel desolate and bare.” Stanmer Horses has set up a campaign to claim the horses back at: www. gofundme.com/2s2d4n98

Advertiser’s Announcement
An active, independent lifestyle isn’t something that’s usually associated with care homes. However, one local care home is working hard to transform such beliefs. Maycroft Manor, situated in the heart of Brighton, is a luxury, award-winning care home offering, residential, nursing and dementia care. The dedicated team at Maycroft Manor recognises that it takes more than just good care in order for the home to be the best that it can be. This is why they spend their days getting to know residents, which means each individuals needs are at the heart of the care provided.
Regular trips that see residents going for pub lunches, visits to the seaside for ice cream and browsing Shoreham Airport’s museum are amongst many activities that take place outside of the home – something that both residents and the team are extremely passionate about. These trips mean that residents can enjoy the simple things that they would have always done, whilst being accompanied by a supportive team. If residents prefer to stay at the home, their awardwinning facilities mean that they can enjoy everyday treats, such as watching a film in the cinema or popping to the café for a chat over a cup of tea.
Not only do the team provide residents with relationship centred care, they encourage them to continue to do the things they love; whether this is popping to the shop to get their morning paper, or participating in a morning yoga class led by the Customer Relationship lifestyles team. Manager, Lisa Vile, said:
“Within our inclusive, supportive environment, we build a relationship with every resident in order to truly connect with their personal histories and personalities.” “One way we do this is by giving every new Maycroft Manor resident an ‘About Me’ booklet to complete when they move in. This helps team members to understand their routine, family history, what makes them happy or sad, and what support they need in their daily lives.”

Protest by Woodingdean residents after council’s phone mast blunder PHOTOGRAPH: DANNY FITZPATRICK

news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
People living near the site of a new phone mast have staged a protest against its construction. On Tuesday, neighbours campaigned against the erection of a 12.5m mast on Warren Road, Woodingdean. Plans were widely rejected by residents but due to ‘council clerical error’ consent was automatically granted. Soraya Kirsch, 50, of Woodingdean, formed a group to fight its construction. She said: “Everybody felt outraged about having a mast so near in terms of risk to health, so near to the nursery, the schools and the health centre.” Although the council had decided to refuse the application for the phone mast, amix-upinthe council’s post room meant council officers failed to issue the
The protest by Woodingdean residents on Tuesday, against the construction of a phone mast
decision notice outlining the refusal in the required time of 56 days. This meant the application was automatically given consent. Councillor Dee Simson who has said last week that
‘the incompetence in this situation is unbelievable’ said there were no objections to a mast in a different location. Mrs Kirsch asked: “Why couldn’t they relocate the site, bearing in mind the
village is huge and there are fields everywhere?” One of two cabinets has already been installed, with no date set for the mast’s erection. Cllr Simson was concerned
the companies were trying to brush the issue under the carpet, and said: “Groundwork was done in daylight and left open and they came along under cover of darkness and put that cabinet up. Residents got up the next morning and were deeply shocked.” After the city council were accused of ‘incompetence’, an apology was made by the lead councillor for planning. Cllr Julie Cattell, Labour’s chair of the planning committee, said: “I’m very sorry for the delay that occurred and I apologise to Woodingdean residents who opposed the mast and who took the time to make their views known to us.

The city’s digital and culture festival celebrate its sixth year, and Laurence Hill, Brighton Digital Festival manager, said: “I have been genuinely thrilled by the range of events that have been run by independent organisers in the city, as well as the contributions we were able to deliver through the arts and education strands with funding from The Arts Council, University of Brighton and Brighton and Hove City Council. “As year on year, the festival goesfromstrengthtostrength, we want to be clear that the festival is for everybody and, although there’s a long way to go, we have made important steps towards that goal this year. “We’re already working on 2017 and beyond and there are exciting times ahead - watch this space.”

Decision to be made on new zip wire ride
Wheels in motion for Boris bikes in the city
The fate of the Brighton Zip - the ride set to replace the Brighton Wheel - is set to be discussed by planners on Wednesday. P a r a m o u n t Entertainment, the firm which operated the Wheel, has applied to install two 300m-long zip wires east of the pier, with thrillseekers whizzing down a cable from a 20m tower to a landing area on the beach. The £1.7 million project would include a cafe, and is set to trade allyear round. The Brighton Wheel was dismantled in May, after Paramount Entertainments agreed to remove it before the opening of the i360.
Councillors are set to discuss a bike sharing scheme for Brighton and Hove, which could be rolled out as early as June next year. The ‘Boris bikes’ scheme - named after the former London mayor’s bike sharing project - is set to come to Brighton and Hove. When an operator is appointed for the scheme, the council said it hoped the 430 bikes would be available from around 50 hubs, including Brighton station, the universities, and the Marina. The matter will be discussed at the environment committee on Tuesday.
Warm welcome to overseas students The University of Brighton hosted a welcome tea party for new international students who arrived from all corners of the globe. Each year the university greets 3,000 overseas students and more than 400 joined the party at the Jurys Inn Waterfront Hotel and Brighton beach. University staff and student
ambassadors were on hand to answer questions on university life, city culture, and local entertainment. Liz Vassilakes, events officer, said: “The party was a great success – the students were very keen to learn local ways including how to pronounce ‘scone’ and what should be put on them first, jam or clotted cream.”

Snowdogs art trail draws in crowds Families are flocking to visit Brighton’s Snowdogs by the Sea as the art trail continues. Inspired by the animated short film The Snowman and the Snowdog, the statues have proven to be a hit with children and parents alike. Amy Lawrence, of Hove’s Lawrence Art Supplies which sponsored one of the dogs, said: “As an art company, sponsoring the Snowdogs was a match made in heaven.” “The staff each designed a Snowdog and voted for the most popular design in order for an artist to bring it to life.” The 27-year-old’s Snowdog – Splashound – can now be seen at the Unitarian Church.
All the sculptures are sponsored by local businesses with funds going to Martlets Hospice. Families visiting the Merry-Go-Hound Snowdog at Brighton Pavilion and Dudley Snowdog at St Peter’s Church described them as ‘great’, ‘fantastic for the kids’ said their children ‘loved the film’. They hoped to see parts of the city they hadn’t seen before and said their children enjoyed the fact each Snowdog had a unique name.

An elephant’s tale brought to life The story of a circus elephant rumoured to be buried in Wish Park is the inspiration behind a new art structure in Hove. ‘Elephant Bones’, designed to represent an elephant’s rib cage, provides seating and shelter for visitors to the Wish Park playground. According to a local legend, an elephant, part of a travelling circus, died while performing in the park and was laid to rest in the grounds.
Park users and members of the local community, including the Friends of Wish Park, were involved in planning and designing the eye-catching structure. Cllr Gill Mitchell, chair of Brighton and Hove City Council’s environment committee, said: “It’s lovely to see how the whole community has got involved to help design the shelter and keep the Wish Park elephant legend alive!”

We need to protect the vulnerable
T
his week it was reported that there are 3,000 families in Sussex currently living in temporary accommodation with Brighton and Hove leading the way with a mammoth 2,000 families alone. I am writing this article today to urge elected members locally to think again. I founded ETHRAG, which is a residents association for those living in emergency and temporary accommodation, because we need change. We need to protect the vulnerable, not punish them. We know that £20 million a year is paid to private landlords in Brighton and Hove from housing benefit money, and with a national spend of around £9.3bn a year it is clear to me that this is unsustainable and, to be frank, I think it’s an absolute rip off for the tax payer. The use of temporary accommodation in Brighton and Hove is (excluding London) 12 times greater than the national average. Rough-sleeping rates (affected by “migration” from other parts of the UK) is four times the national average. The planned £102m joint venture with Hyde Housing is an interesting proposal,
A report has revealed 3,000 families in Sussex are living in temporary accommodation.
the prospect of truly affordable housing that is safe from the right to buy is vital. However, I call on the council officers and elected members to be more radical by committing to an extension to this project and ensuring emergency and temporary accommodation is brought back in-house and truly affordable.
I want cross-party support for an additional pledge of 500 units in addition to the planned 1,000 to be built, these 500 extra homes would be exclusively for the most vulnerable homeless residents in the city and provide a cheaper alternative to the current model, which favours the private sector.
Private landlords are charging £800 a month for a tiny room that houses young families. They have little rights and are often isolated and unable able to have visitors, they fear being moved away from friends and family. I speak to people on a daily basis, these are people who have hit a crisis point in their lives, many are recovering from addictions and are often left isolated in these places which should be places to really recover and move on; not ghettos with drug dealers! The extra cost locally on emergency services due to a lack of support for the vulnerable and homeless is a scandal, I believe in collaboration whereby service providers, politicians, emergency services and residents come together with solutions rather than endless talk. The vulnerable people I meet tell me they want all this talk to stop now, they want to see commitments, action and a pledge to borrow and build more housing, and fast!

Privatisation has hit accountability
O
f all of the government failures in recent years perhaps the most profound is the systematic undermining of our most precious public service, the NHS. Here in Brighton, as readers will know all too well, we have a health service that is now in the midst of a serious crisis. We have incredible, dedicated staff, keeping things going, often working beyond the hours they are paid. Despite their steadfast efforts, both our hospital and emergency ambulance services are in ‘special measures’. At the Royal Sussex I’m often contacted by constituents experiencing delays in departments buckling because of various pressures, like the Digestive Diseases department. Operations are so frequently cancelled because of emergency situations that crop up it’s become the norm. By the end of 2016 Brighton and Hove will have seen six GP practices closed – four because a private firm announced it was pulling out of its contract at the start of this year – affecting 10,000 patients. Our patient transport service, which takes people to essential non-emergency appointments is being run by private company Coperforma and a number of sub-contractors. The model is failing. We have had to battle to ensure all drivers are paid. This week there have been reports of drivers sent home due to mismanagement and arguments between the private companies involved. This is putting drivers in fear of their jobs. When I spoke to the Clinical Commissioning Group about this serious problem – and the risks for patients if these sub-contractors go bust – they told me that one of the problems is identifying responsibility when things go wrong. This problem occurs because of the layers of complexity linked to our privatised patient transport service. Privatisation has made a mess of accountability. Added to these immediate concerns is the looming introduction of sustainability and transformation plans (STPs) – a process being conducted behind closed doors. Many people, like Sussex Defend the NHS, fear that these plans, which will come into force next year, could lead to more cuts to already stretched NHS services and could lead to the some places losing their services and patients having to travel further for treatment. Of course the problems we’re facing in Brighton are not unique to this city. Our NHS has been undermined from the top. We have an ever-worsening

postcode lottery as our services are broken up and tendered out to the private sector. In just a few short years the Conservatives have handed billions of pounds of contracts to private firms. And they are penny pinching. Under the smallest real terms increase in funding the health service since the Second World War it is no wonder that our services are struggling. It’s not too late to save our health service, but we need to act fast if we’re going to do so. The first action locally must be for the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to call time on the contract with Coperforma and get to the bottom of the deep problems with the Sussex Patients Transport Service. The NHS must also be properly funded. This means the government must increase health spending, including if necessary through a tax rise for those who can afford to pay a little bit more. It’s also time to end the creeping privatization of our health service and rid the NHS of the layers of complexity linked to outsourcing. That’s why I re-tabled the NHS Reinstatement Bill earlier this year and have continued to campaign, on a crossparty basis, for a truly public NHS, safe for future generations. I have also been pushing for the secretive Sustainability and Transformation Plans on proposed changes to frontline services, to be made public and for our services to be protected. In her speech at Conservative Party Conference on Wednesday the Prime Minister said that her party could be trusted with the NHS. I’d like her to tell that to my constituent who has had surgery cancelled three times at short notice. It flies in the face of the facts, and I’m hoping that pressure from local communities, campaigners and political parties will stop the government further damaging our greatest public asset, and force them to give it the support it needs to look after us all.

Huge concerns over Conservative plans
Y
ou probably haven’t been focused too much on events in Birmingham this week. It’s been far too nice out, and there are plenty of other things to worry about. But what has been announced at the Conservative Party Conference this week should concern us all. The prime minister announced the timetable for leaving the European Union, prompting a collapse in the pound to a 30year low. Some had thought it could be delayed indefinitely, but subsequent announcements from Conservative ministers have brought the impact into sharp relief. Doctors and surgeons working in our local hospital were put on notice that, although the government says it will at last tackle national staff shortages, the focus will be on more UK-trained physicians who will not be in the workforce for years. Even Conservative MPs called on the government to show it values the skills and commitment of our diverse NHS and social care staff. Universities and language schools were

told they may no longer expect to earn the same money from overseas students, potentially disastrous news for our local educational institutions who generate millions for the local economy, and
worrying for local young people who may face less choice and higher fees when they look to study in the future. Ministers pledged billions of taxpayers money to property developers to build on appropriated council land, with none of the homes built being council houses, or affordable in our high cost market. In a speech beyond parody, one minister claimed we could make up for lost trade from not being in the EU by selling jam to France and coffee to Brazil. Her department could find no examples of successful UK coffee exporters with customers in South America. She also said that in future the fruit that is grown in the UK would be picked not by migrant workers but by British young people. This is hardly a compelling lead from the government on their vision for the future world of work for this generation.. Surely we should be aspiring for better for our young people? Ministers including Boris Johnson, who pledged £350 million a week to the NHS if we left the EU, refused to sign a symbolic cheque for that amount, well aware that the new Brexit Department in Whitehall
is spending £5,000 a day on lawyers, and hiring 5000 new civil servants to tackle the task of untangling 40 years of work. The Times estimates the cost of Brexit to be £5 billion over the next decade. Clearly new money for the NHS will never materialise. Yet what made the headlines? The design of a new British passport! Brighton and Hove voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU. We felt our future was brighter in it. The rest of the UK, narrowly, voted to leave. The referendum was, we now know, part of a Conservative game to win UKIP votes at the General Election and position Eton rivals for the top job in Number 10. For too many, the issues concerned nationalistic nostalgia and fears over immigration, not the more complex and far reaching economic ones. Remember dire warnings about economic instability if Ed Miliband had won last year? Now the new Chancellor warns of a “roller coaster ride” because of Brexit, with no real idea of when it will end or where we will be when it does. It’s no wonder many of us are feeling queasy.

Equity Release Service
ver the past several months our team of Green councillors has seen a worrying increase in reports of anti-social behaviour across the city centre. Our understanding on the ground is sadly confirmed with facts: Sussex Police state that there has been an increase in total recorded crime by four to five per cent compared with last year. Reports vary from excessive noise from street drinkers, to increasing amounts of drug paraphernalia on the streets, as well as violent and sexual assaults. Concerns are being raised by our residents and local action teams who are pressing the police and council to take urgent action to make our streets safer. I have become worried especially for older residents who can find the situation disturbing and have started to express that they feel unsafe when out and about at night. Yet at a time when residents are feeling unsafe, the message we are receiving from the police is sadly far from comforting. Just last week Sussex Police announced plans to investigate fewer crimes as it seeks to cut £50 million by 2020, with up to 1,000 officers and staff likely to be lost. In the middle of all this, our Police and Crime Commissioner seems more concerned about expanding their power base than tackling crime. Given potential new powers by government, the commissioner has funded a consultant to write a business case for absorbing the fire authorities of East and West Sussex, despite the idea having been roundly rejected by councillors across the political
spectrum. Alongside the anti-social behaviour we are also seeing an increasing number of tents being pitched up in our city centre by people who have no other place to go. My heart goes out to people who are simply seeking some limited shelter in desperate times. They have been driven to the brink by government cuts and play negligible or no part in the antisocial behaviour I’ve described. If you’re sleeping on the streets, you are far more likely to be the victim of crime than the perpetrator. And the vast majority of anti-social behaviour I hear about is attributed to street drinkers or criminals who aren’t those sleeping in tents. However, all of the community should not have to tolerate threatening or abusive behaviour. The rise in anti-social behaviour and growth of people in tents is a direct result of government policies of the last six years which are failing increasing numbers of people. Cuts to economic support, increasingly insecure employment and spiralling rents are driving more and more people into crisis. As our support system begins to collapse, crime and anti-social behaviour are an inevitable consequence. The system cannot go on like this. Our city is clearly struggling as council finances and police resources are squeezed to breaking point. Any savings made from the Conservative government’s failed austerity programme are only driving up the long-term costs to our city, as the ugly consequences become manifest. We need strong and long-term investment in our public services that not only tackles social deprivation but also gives people hope for the safer, fairer society they deserve.

A Place called Winter
by Patrick Gale (Tinder Press)
A shy and sensitive older son, with a privileged upbringing, Harry Cane could really have had it all. How he ended up in the wilds of Canada, and in an asylum after killing a man is the stuff of nightmares. Except, of course, at the hands of a master storyteller, it’s not a nightmare, but a dream to read. It will have you holding your breath and praying for Harry throughout the book. For some ridiculous reason I had put off reading this, and I’m so glad that I finally got around to it. It’s what I would term a ‘proper’ book. The story is believable and not at all sentimental. It doesn’t gloss over the nasty facts and it will have you shaking your head in disbelief at the prejudices that were considered the norm of the time. Of course, Harry succumbs to the peer pressure of marriage and children, but in his heart he knows he is not quite the same as other men. His first encounter with a dastardly actor leaves him open to blackmail and he feels he has no choice but to escape to Canada where tracts of land are being offered for free in exchange for hard labour on a homestead. The cold, the sheer brutality of existence is a fearful thing and the pockets of small joy are unbelievably beautiful. His encounter with another couple, a brother and sister, on a neighbouring farm will make your heart sing. Wonderful.

A major conference is being held in Brighton next Monday looking at how best to empower local people to deal with neighbourhood conflict. Organised by the Sussex Mediation Alliance to mark UK Mediation Awareness Week 2016, speakers include Katy Bourne, Sussex police and crime commissioner, Rachel Chasseaud, head of tenancy services at Brighton and Hove City Council, and author Peter James, who is a patron of the Brighton and Hove Independent
Medication Services (BHIMS). The Alliance provides support to help resolve neighbourhood disputes that usually involve breakdown in communication resulting in mistrust, suspicion and in some cases hostility. The most common issues mediation can help with include noise, antisocial behaviour, boundary issues, clashing lifestyles and issues relating to pets. The conference takes place on Monday at the BMEC Centre in Fleet Street, Brighton.
The Free Wills Month charities are paying for a limited number of simple Wills. If your Will is complex, you can pay the solicitor for extra advice. There is no obligation to include a gift to any of the charities. The campaign is intended for those aged 55 and over.

B
oris Johnson increasingly comes across as an opportunistic trimmer. My dictionary defines trimmer as someone “who fluctuates between parties, adjusting his or her opinions to match his or her changing loyalties”. What else would you call someone who, as the Brexit referendum neared, drafted two columns for his newspaper, one in favour of remaining, the other against, and only at the last minute decided which to file? What else would you call someone who scaremongered during the referendum campaign, that the accession of Turkey to the EU would give 75 million Turks the right to come and live here, while now, in his new post as foreign secretary, he has just been to Ankara to assure the Turks that Britain will help them “in any way” to join? (He was repeating what David Cameron, as prime minister, said during his own visit in 2014, though Cameron soft-pedalled on this – “Oh, it won’t happen for decades” – as the campaign intensified.) What are we to make of someone who in May wins a competition for the rudest limerick about President Recep Tayyip
Boris Johnson with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Erdogan – involving his alleged love for a goat – while in September he stops over with the very same Erdogan, all smiles and cordiality? (It’s worth remembering Johnson has Turkish ancestry.) Erdogan is one of the more unpleasant rulers on the planet at the present time – a kind of miniPutin (he has many qualities in common with the Russian). Free speech, free media –
QUALITY KITCHEN FACELIFTS
a cornerstone of European democracy – are scarcely abundant under his rule. In fact, Turkey is the biggest jailer of journalists in the world. Just last week, days after Johnson’s visit, 12 more news organisations were closed down, including a cartoon channel for children. Scaremongering about Turkey joining the EU may be valid, but it was odd that during the referendum campaign no one, so far as I know, mentioned an even wider – and far more disturbing – potential EU membership. Turkey’s actually not the half of it. At this point, I consult again the yellowing cutting I snipped 12 years ago (The Times, May 4, 2004). This announces ambitious EU plans – known as the New Neighbourhood, or Wider Europe policy – to incorporate “all the Muslim countries lining the Mediterranean, from Morocco to Syria, as well as Israel, Lebanon and all the former parts of the Soviet Union that are in Europe, including Russia”. Once they had become sufficiently democratic, improved human rights and established free-market economies – “once” – some 20 such outlying countries would be eligible to join the single market, with the right for their citizens
to live and work in Europe. Responding to fears about resulting mass immigration, an official maintained their economies would be so improved by membership that few would want to leave them. This may or may not have been one reason why European leaders – including Blair, Chirac, Berlusconi, Schröder – around then flew out to shake Colonel Gaddafi’s scented hands in his bedouin tent. (Gaddafi, then head of the African Union, may have been regarded as linchpin between the two burgeoning blocs. The African Union recently announced that every African will by 2018 have a common African passport, with the right to work anywhere in the continent’s 54 countries – including, presumably, those formerly scheduled to join the EU. Blair in all made eight trips to Libya; as we now know, he himself at this juncture had ambitions to be President of the European Commission.) So far as I know, Wider Europe remains official EU policy, though its timescale of “ten or 20 years” has been wrecked. I sometimes wonder whether reaction to it may partly explain the recent attacks by North African Islamists on the EU heartland in Belgium.

Beauty Five quick tips for fabulous skin Pretty Good Thinking with Sarah Morgan @sarah_morgan
W
hile an Indian summer is a delight to savour, seasonal transitions risk dry skin with erratic temperature drops. The nights begin at home time rather than bedtime, so get into a routine that avoids losing precious moisture from your face and body. Seawater, sunshine and chlorine all took their toll over the summer, so why not luxuriate, exfoliate and languish your way through the more blustery conditions. Here are five quick hacks for fabulous, healthy skin to improve how you look and feel this month. Tip one: protect your lips. Prevention is better than cure, so avoid sore and cracked areas with non petroleum-based products. Melvita 3 Honey Balm is £10 at M&S (buy with other offers) and
Try the Aloe Moisturising Crème by Jason
my favourite three rose version is from Melvita online. Aveda does an anti-oxidant botanical balm with natural waxes that help seal in moisture with a blend of cinnamon leaf, clove and anise oils. The Lip Saver (or saviour) is £12.50. Try Weleda Skin Food on the mouth overnight to save buying in. This affordable bathroom staple is handy on the face or body (thick and oily so not like a primer, keep for when nobody is looking). Tip two: skip the soap. I’m not suggesting you stop washing – just use a hydrating cleanser for the face and change up to a creamy body wash instead of stripping your skin. The Evolve Papaya and Goji Fresh Face Facial Wash is fantastic for oilier complexions and the smell of blood orange and cedarwood is grounding in the African Orange Aromatic
Wash (both £14). Tip three: switch from lotions to creams. Big Green Smile has a deal on the inexpensive Jason Aloe Moisturising Crème, or you may have a shea butter to finish off somewhere. Polish it all in smoothly. Tip four: exfoliate with an oil-based scrub. Have a fullbody exfoliation for the new season. Oil-based scrubs are wonderful because they exfoliate and hydrate. Ermana Cleanse Balm is great for the face, as is Wild Rose Beauty Balm by Neals’ Yard. Tip five: invest in a powerful hand cream. Men probably benefit from better adventures if they have supple hands, so go for something unisex to share. I have a rosemary and mint option on the go that is refreshing, or Skin Food does the trick as well.

Business project helps people with disabilities
Videos can boost your online profile
By Independent reporter
brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
More than 50 businesses joined forces to support a project to help people with disabilities into job vacancies, The business people gathered at Franco Manca on Thursday 29 September to hear more about Recruit Ability, recently launched by Brighton Chamber and Possability People. The project has gained significant interest from the local business community and since it went live in July. 25 organisations have been in touch to find out how to get involved. The first success came at the end of August when web agency Madison Solutions took on Kieran Stack initially with a two-week trial. Matt Chambers, founder and CEO of Madison Solutions, spoke at the event and said: “I found recruiting Kieran about one tenth the paperwork of recruiting an apprentice and he started to be productive within his first week. “All round a great result.” Mandy Crandale, community employment specialist at Possability People also spoke at the

event, outlining the project aims and mentioning the positive response that it has gained so far: She said: “I’m thrilled that Recruit Ability has launched and with the overwhelmingly positive response from businesses so far. “This project has the opportunity to make a massive difference to people’s
lives and we are already beginning to see this in action.” Sarah Springford, director of Brighton Chamber of Commerce, said: “This is such a worthwhile project and it has really caught people’s attention. We’ve had a really positive response from businesses so far.” Funded by the Department
for Work and Pensions, Recruit Ability is working with businesses in Brighton and Hove who are looking for a new member of staff, and help them to recruit talented, qualified people to their team. If you have a vacancy, or want to find out more, get in touch at work@ possabilitypeople.org.uk.

Ensuring your digital presence is unique and most importantly visible can be a timeconsuming task to conquer when running a business, with incorporating rich media a vital aspect for most successful marketing campaigns. YouTube has been around for more than 11 years and is the second largest search engine, after Google. With more than four billion videos viewed daily, there are plenty of opportunities for your business to find potential leads, through the production of video messages. Using videos within your campaigns can appeal to customers because: a) they can see your product or service in action b) you can
appeal directly to your audience and c) it’s another way to be creative with your brand’s identity. Even if you are creating videos regularly, you can fall in to the trap of not optimising and SEO is still important. I recently worked with a client who had a suite of colourful content but didn’t apply standard SEO techniques. Once they were implemented, their online profile increased significantly, allowing them to be found more easily through simple keyword searches. Start bringing attention to your business’ marketing campaigns with video today. Need a little help? Pop an email to hello@shotgunpr.co.uk with any questions..

Transformed Tracie trims ten inches off her tum After joining Freedom Leisure and receiving the free coaching sessions offered to all new members, Tracie Dunkley of Moulsecoomb has lost an incredible 10 inches from her waist and is almost at her goal weight. Tracie first visited Moulsecoomb Community Leisure Centre, operated by Freedom Leisure on behalf of Brightonand Hove City Council, back in October 2015, where she attended some classes and the gym on a payas- you-go basis. However, her journey really started when she became a member and activated her free coaching sessions in the November.
Free coaching sessions are part of any Freedom Leisure membership giving access to personal sessions with fully -trained fitness instructors. Tracie met with Gareth Dean, a Freedom Leisure fitness Instructor, who took the time to discuss with Tracie what she wanted to achieve and find out a bit about her. Tracie had previously undergone a hip replacement and had mobility issues with her left elbow, for which she was considering surgery – her main goals were to lose weight and to be able to do a spin class! Gareth started with an orientation into the gym and wasn’t surprised to find out
that she had previously only used cardio equipment and was daunted by the prospect of using weights – however, after an hour they had worked together to build a plan that Tracie was confident in, including both cardio and weight training. Tracie and Gareth continued to meet over the next couple of weeks for her further free coaching sessions – which are important to ensure members are getting on ok with the plan and to potentially to make any adjustments. Gareth also booked Tracie onto her first spin session for the following week. Tracie was also given
valuable nutrition advice on how to make subtle changes to her diet. Tracie’s confidence in the gym grew and soon she was happily trying new exercises – and enjoying them! As well as time in the gym, Tracie tried classes such as Spin, Zumba and Freedom Leisure’s exclusive, state-ofthe-art class, ‘ignite’. a small, action-packed, group training session using the latest gym equipment to transform your gym workout forever… and indeed it did for Tracie!

Passing through a 900-yearold doorway chiselled into the ancient stone wall, there is little left of the original medieval kitchen except a breathtaking view. On a small promontory off the northern flank, three of the kitchen’s walls have vanished over the centuries, leaving a glorious sweep of the wildbrooks to open gaze. Cows meander across the flatlands and to the west the spire of Bury church peeps reassuringly up to the horizon. Glance to your right and you can see across the timeless rooftops of Amberley village itself. On a sunny morning before breakfast there was no better place on earth to sit and read the i newspaper - the national sister title to this.
Of course, new kitchens have long since replaced this ancient piece of fairy tale magic - and at the helm is head chef Conor Toomey. When we last visited as a family at Easter, Conor was a new arrival - and I know that some regular diners were understandably disappointed to see that his superb predecessor Robby Jenks had moved on to even greater culinary opportunities. But as someone who has been enjoying the Castle’s fare as both a paying customer and reviewer since the early 1990s, I know that Conor’s arrival is sensationally good news. In his brief time here, he has established his own team and when we visited for dinner and breakfast with the family last week the quality was consistent across the courses and nudging Michelin attribution. Conor’s food is distinctively and deceptively simple. Cleanly presented plates,
Amberley Castle
unfussy and unpretentious each with a focus on the star ingredient. A starter which revolves around a humble turnip was a culinary miracle on the scale of Cinderella’s pumpkin that turned into a diamond encrusted carriage. Frankly, the venison was sublime. Cooked pink and perfect. The desserts are complex constructions but make a crisp, unvarnished impact on the plate. Creative enough to be visually pleasing, refined and pure so that you can
savour the flavours. And not too sweet. In an age when refined sugars are the new perceived dietary evil, Conor has avoided the pitfall. The addition of a chocolatebased choice would have been welcome on the night we dined. But the all-British cheeseboard was so good that our son who selected it was reluctantly forced to share samples round the table. We know no shame. Conor Toomey has a notable track record - joining the Castle from Storrs Hall Hotel in Windermere. His one-time mentor Michael Wignall is executive head chef at Amberley’s sister hotel Gidleigh Park in Devon and the presence of both men demonstrate owner Andrew Brownsword Hotel’s commitment to investing in the best.

A superb double bill of all-male ballet dancing Stage
Phil Hewitt
Group Arts Editor phil.hewitt@jpress.co.uk
All-male ballet company BalletBoyz bring a new double-bill to Brighton Dome under the simple heading Life (October 12 and 13). Life features new commissions by choreographers Javier de Frutos and Pontus Lidberg. Among the dancers, all of whom dance in both pieces, is Bradley Waller who has been with the company coming up for four years now. “I have been with the company quite a while now compared to some people. There is a new dancer that has just come in, and the longest dancer has been six or seven years. I think
everybody is just different, whatever job you are doing. There will always be some people who just like to move on. But I get enormous satisfaction with this company. “We are so fortunate to work with so many different choreographers. It is very rare that any company works with so many interesting people, and they are creating new work all the time. All the pieces are made on us dancers. For me, I am just really happy where I am at the moment.” As for the current show, a lot of people ask just what is meant by Life: “Life is obviously very specific to each individual, and if you call a show life, it seems as if you are going to be doing something quite personal
and cathartic. But the interesting thing is that this is actually two very different choreographies. “The first piece is created by Pontus Lidberg who is a Swedish choreographer who has a much more classical background. There is a lot more classical technique, the kinds of things you would be much more used to in a classical company. It is followed by the second piece with is at the other end of the spectrum with a much more contemporary feel. “The way they both view life is very different. BalletBoyz is the brainchild of former Royal Ballet lead dancers Michael Nunn and William Trevitt. They have been dancing together for nearly 25 years. Call 01273 709709.

Good tunes, grooves and melodies Music

Group Arts Editor phil.hewitt@jpress.co.uk
A Magic Life is the title of the forthcoming album from bass player and composer Alison Rayner and her quintet who play Brighton’s Verdict on October 8 (7pm). As Alison explains, two striking moments lie behind the title of the album, which will be released at the end of November. “Both these things happened a few months before I was thinking of writing and recording a new album, and one was that I was at the funeral of a friend, someone I had known reasonably well, the wife of a fellow musician, and she was somebody who had known she was dying, which meant she had been able to plan her own funeral. “She had written her own epitaph and said she had had a magic life, which I found very moving. I don’t like to use the
word lucky, but she was saying her life had been varied and fortunate. It was so touching… she was dying and yet she was able to talk about her magic life. “I was just there in the church and I really wanted to write a piece called A Magic Life. I thought it was a wonderful thought. “And the other thing was that, like many musicians, I have to do lots of things, different things, different groups, and I do some examining, like grade exams. I was examining young boys that were taking a guitar exam, and it is only a short exam. You only have 20 or 25 minutes, and it is not a long time to engage with the students. But this young Polish boy came in, and in the middle of the music, he said to me ‘Do you think music is stronger than magic?’ I said that to me music was a merging of magic and logic. He did very well in the exam. He certainly got a merit, if not a distinction. He was a very
bright boy – and very honest. And to me, it just seemed such an interesting question to ask. It was something that was on his mind, and he just asked it!” Such thoughts converged, and the album began to take shape: “There are different themes on there. Both my parents died about five years ago, but very elderly, and I have written a piece for my mother. Another piece I have done is Musicophilia, which is the title of an Oliver Sachs book all about cases where people have had an extraordinary relationship with music, where sometimes music has just cut through for people with mental illness. I was just thinking about how music can affect us very deeply.” Another piece is Swanage Bay: “When we were children, we used to have holidays at Swanage. My parents split up when I was in my early teens, and our last family holiday was in Swanage. And then four years ago or so I was at the Swanage Jazz Festival playing
Visceral post-punk tunes and high-energy melodic rock Review by Nick Linazasoro
DIIV, Concorde 2, Brighton, September 23 DIIV, a melodic guitar band, was initially called Dive (after a 1992 Nirvana song) and was originally a solo project born in the Brooklyn bedroom of Zachary Cole Smith in 2011. But Smith decided to change the band name so as not to be confused with Belgian industrial artist Dirk Ivens’ solo project of the same name. Now the band consists of Smith on vocals and guitar, Devin Ruben Perez (bass), Andrew Bailey (guitar), Colin Caulfield (keyboards, guitar) and Ben Newman (drums). This sold-out show was rescheduled from March 28. It’s fair to say that DIIV are increasing in popularity as the cancelled gig was itself an upgrade from the original Haunt booking. So this was DIIV’s Brighton debut. I do like DIIV musically but like so many in the music business they have courted their fair share of negative press. The evening’s proceedings were kicked off with an alltoo-short half-hour set by a
DIIV
Bristol-based quintet called Idles. If they were to just stand there without playing you would think by the way they looked, that they were about to launch into something from hippydom meets Hawkwind. Nope. They make loud visceral post-punk sounds. Singer Joe looks as though the band just grabbed a passer-by off the street. He does not appear to fit in to their look. But that’s just it, that’s exactly what they wanted to achieve. I mean ‘Dev’ looks like he should be in ZZ Top. I have to say that myself and both my mates agreed that Idles were probably the best band on the night. The punk band The Dead
Kennedy’s think so too as they have chosen Idles as their support for their upcoming London shows. Next up for another 30-minute set were Harris, Frank and Ben from Blaenavon (which incidentally means ‘front of the river’ in Welsh) who hail from Hampshire. They play, at times, radio-friendly youngster-rock and should do rather well. Should get quite a teenage fan-base, methinks. Anyway, from 9pm DIIV performed all of the melodic-jangly tracks that I really wanted to finally hear live, such as ‘Under The Sun’, ‘How Long Have You Known?’, ‘Dopamine’ and ‘Doused’. I was right at the front with the moshpit happening behind me, so the audience were really up for it. But, to be honest, by the end of the gig, I found myself getting a bit bored. Especially when Smith kept banging on about the crowd clapping and not liking them much because they had twice cancelled. To find out more about these artists, visit www. idlesband.com, www. blaenavon.bandcamp.com and www.diiv.net.
a gig, and I was at a venue that looked out over the bay. I was playing and I looked out, and I just had one of those moments of nostalgia. I remembered that holiday. I hadn’t realised my parents were going to split up. You don’t realise those sorts of things at the time. But looking out just brought back those feelings, and I just thought I had to write a piece about Swanage Bay.” It’s the second album for the quintet, and Alison is delighted with the way it is all coming together. “I think we have done well because when we are playing at gigs, we are quite communicative and engaged. Also, I have always liked good tunes and good melodies. This is an instrumental group, and I am really into rhythmic stuff and good grooves. I loved all the melodic stuff when I was younger, and I think our music has just good really good grooves. I think it has got a fairly broad appeal.” Tickets cost £11. Call 01273 674847.

The Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra make a welcome return to the Brighton Dome on Sunday afternoon (October 9, 2.45pm) for the first concert of their 92nd season. The orchestra’s guest will be the exciting Ukrainian viola player Andriy Viytovych for a performance of William Walton’s Viola Concerto. Viytovych is no stranger to this piece and even performed it last year alongside two other major viola concertos (by Bartók and Hindemith) in a musical marathon to raise money for charity. To play one concerto is tough enough but to play three is an amazing achievement. He was backed by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where Andriy is principal violist, and conducted by Barry Wordsworth, the
London Theatre
principal guest conductor of the Royal Ballet. Barry will be at the helm on Sunday in his role as conductor laureate of the excellent Brighton Philharmonic, the city’s own professional orchestra. Sunday’s concert will open with Liszt’s Les Préludes, one of the composer’s earliest ‘symphonic poems’. It’s a dazzling, beautiful, freeflowing piece developed from the simplest of melodies. The major work of the afternoon is Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. The composer was unsure of its worth but audiences today are much more certain. Who could be left unmoved by the full orchestral climax in the symphony’s closing moments? It never fails to bring the house down. Tickets for the concert cost £12-£37. Call 01273 709709 or www.brightondome.org. Find out more at brightonphil.org. uk. Pre-concert interview with Andriy Viytovych, 1.45pm.

hange is an interesting thing. Some people embrace it and crave it whilst others fear it to such an extent that they would remain in a negative situation purely to avoid it. I’ve been unfortunate enough to have spent most of my working life in offices and never before have I encountered such resistance to change than in my working life. I’ve seen people fight tooth and nail against changes that would make their working lives easier and had to sit through hours of change management training as a result. Change is often a necessary and positive force; the world would be a much less interesting place if things never changed. Tastes, trends and society as a whole needs change. I for one am someone who looks forward to change and actively seeks it out. Don’t get me wrong, I can be as stubborn as a particularly belligerent mule when the mood takes me and can get pretty stuck in my ways, but I recognise that things have to move on. The food industry is one where things move pretty quickly. Chefs are notoriously nomadic in nature and tastes and trends change more frequently than Southern Rail’s timetable. This can often mean that changes are forced upon restaurants when their head chef leaves to take on a new challenge. This was the case for the The Independent pub in Queens Park. Back in November of last year I reviewed the pub for this column and was thoroughly impressed with the simple bistro style menu. It was one of my favourite meals of the last year and so when I heard that the chef had decided to move on I was interested in seeing what else may have changed. I was contacted by the new head chef, Sam Ireland, who had previously worked at The Basketmakers Arms back

Meltingly soft beef short rib.
when I was a regular. After leaving the pub Sam spent some time at Skyfall, the first restaurant I reviewed for this paper nearly a year ago. Now back in a pub kitchen I was looking forward to what Sam had in store. I am still a big fan of the pub itself which is welcoming, stylish and comfortable. They have a fantastic range of ales and craft beers which is one of the advantages of not being tied to a brewery. We went by on a Thursday evening on the place was pretty much full with most tables reserved for dinner. I felt, however, that with so many tables reserved solely for dinner the pub atmosphere was a little lost. The menu is a little less varied than before with quite an autumnal feel about it. We opt for the ham hock terrine (£5.50) and cod fish cakes (£5.95) to start followed by slow cooked beef short rib (£13) and mackerel in puy lentils (£12) for the mains. With some fantastic beers on offer we tuck into a Wild Beer Co “Madness IPA” which is a punchy little number at 6.8% and full of refreshing fruit notes and a bitter finish. This is followed by the superb Cloudwater DIPA V6 which at 9% is a potent beer that is incredibly complex and extremely impressive. With such complex flavours present in the drinks the food had a lot to
contend with, and some of the dishes found it difficult to keep up. My terrine is an uneventful start which tastes fine but lacks a real punch of flavour. It could’ve done with a bit more seasoning and a sharp contrast of pickle against the sweet chutney. The fish cakes are not good unfortunately. Not much in terms of flavour and a wet consistency that is a far cry from what we had expected. With a lot of ground to make up the mains are up next. My beef short rib has got rich comfort food written all over it. Slow cooked in stout with an oyster and ginger jus (gravy) the meat falls away from the bone without the slightest resistance. Pickled red cabbage offers some tart contrast and the bone marrow butter on toast it comes with is good, although I would have preferred some mash or greens with this. The mackerel is a much heavier dish than we expected. Pan fried and served in a puy lentil stew with spinach and salsa verde it is a big earthy plate of food that would be ideal on a wet or frosty evening. The salsa is a little lost in this setting as are any hopes of crisp skin but overall it is a good plate of food. We share a dessert of ginger loaf with caramel sauce (£5.95) which is a solid example and a decent end to the meal before heading into the night. Change is a necessary process in all walks of life and it can sometimes take a little while for things to settle and the benefits to be seen. This could well be the case at The Independent. Given the work that the chef has put in previously, notably at The Basketmakers, and what the pub has achieved I think they can make this work. I guess they are still working around the change curve and have not quite reached the acceptance phase, or at least that’s what my training manual says.

enito Mussolini was Italy’s 27th prime minister. Not-all-that-affectionately known as Il Duce (The Leader), his major claim to fame is as the founder of fascism in Italy. He is irrelevant to this week’s column. Well, almost. Abhorrent though he was, that name of his is just darling. A mouse is one of planet Earth’s hardiest mammalians. A mouse can survive almost every conceivable environment, and has evolved and adapted through the centuries in order to do so. That’s not including the mice in Zambia; they’re considered a delicacy, and that brings down the average life span of Team Mouse. Apart from that though, mice are great. Well, aside from the whole “mice are vermin” thing, and all the traps and poison and stuff, but ignore all that, and mice rule. Peromyscus Maniculatus is a type of mouse. Deer Mouse to his friends. Sadly, he looks nothing like a deer. Still, I can’t shake the image of a little mouse with antlers. Nope, can’t get rid of it. There he is. Can you see him? So cute. Hello little deer mouse. Helloooo little guy. Get in the box. A moose is a deer; a really big deer. Ray; a drop of golden sun. British English speakers say elk, but North American English speakers say moose. North American English speakers do also say elk, but they don’t mean an elk like we mean an elk. When they say elk they mean wapiti. A wapiti is another type of deer, but they have twiggy antlers, and the elk that’s a moose has those big, flat antlers. Misspell moose and you’ve got mousse. Mousse is French for froth. “Mousse de lait” is “milk froth”, “couche de mousse” is “layer of froth”, and “une mousse au chocolat qui est adapté pour les végétaliens” is “a chocolate mousse that’s suitable for vegans”. Angel Delight isn’t vegan. Such a shame. Gonna find my baby, Gonna hold her tight, Gonna grab some butterscotch delight... (all together now - it’s you, me, and Ron Burgundy) Sky rockets in flight, Butterscotch delight. Ah, that was fun. I’m not sure about the history of mousse. Searching for images of deer mice ate into the time allocated to this week’s research. It’s a French thing though, so let’s run with that: there was a chef working for a king, and the king wanted a new dessert so the chef made a mousse and then the Americans got involved and added more sugar and fat and now we all love mousse. Fin.

The importance of good photographs When you go to put your property on the market, even if you don’t go for some of the more exotic options that the internet offers, like video clips or virtual tours, buyers still expect to see a whole array of photographs, illustrating just about every conceivable aspect of a property. But quantity isn’t everything. If the pictures are badly composed, ill-lit, or just plain uninspiring, a lot of buyers will simply switch off and move to the next property. Remember, the look on the internet is nearly always a buyer’s first view of your property; it needs to be good. From the purely technical point of view, you should be able to rely on your estate agent to take pictures that will show your home to its best advantage. At the “stately home” end of the market, of course, agents routinely use professional photographers. But many mainstream agents these days also appreciate the value of decent pictures, and some even put their staff through special training to ensure quality results. However, while agents may be happy to offer advice on how to prepare your home for the camera, you can’t expect them to do the work. That’s your job. The key thing to remember here is that a photograph captures a split second in time with piercing clarity - so it is arguably even more important to prepare your house for the camera than it is for visiting buyers, who are much more likely to be distracted by other sights and sounds. I’m sure we have all seen examples of what homes can look like when a camera is pointed at them, if those preparations aren’t made! The key here is tidiness. So…Outside, make sure the garden looks well tended and clear of anything unsightly, like a rubbish bin. In reception rooms, make sure cushions are plumped up; dining tables either laid for a formal meal or completely clear; children’s toys or discarded magazines tidied away, etc. If necessary, remove surplus pieces of furniture to create a feeling of more space. Try to ensure that your kitchen looks as pristine as it did the day it was installed. Make sure all beds are properly made. In the bathroom, fold towels neatly and remove any unsightly collections of shampoo bottles, etc. Loo seats should always be down! Finally, check that all the lights work. Quite apart from anything else, they may be needed for the shoot. Of course, great photographs are only a part of the story; how the agent’s website shows them off is as critical. Look at agents’ websites carefully on more than one device before you choose who to instruct as more than 50% of property viewing is now done on a smartphone or tablet and your property needs to look as good on a mobile as on a PC screen. We all know change is the only constant in property. Paul Bonett F.N.A.E.A. M.A.R.L.A

A new leasing and service centre by staff reporter
Contract hire and leasing broker Rivervale is to open a leasing and contract hire showroom next to its existing motor dealerships. The Brighton-based firm holds franchises for Mazda and MG alongside its leasing operation, which will move into the dedicated facility in October. The three-storey build-
ing will also incorporate a car service centre for both cars and light commercial vehicles, a showroom, and a used vehicle operation. HeadofleasingVincePemberton said: “We have been working on this concept since 2013 and believe that it will be the first such facility in the country. Forthefirsttimewewillbe able to deal with all the needs of our customers – from taking their existing vehicles in part exchange, supplying them with any make or model though leasing as well as the
1 YEAR WARRANTY INCLUSIVE OF PRICE ON ALL CARS
ability to service and MOT. This is truly a one stop shop.” Group managing director Neil Chapman said, “We are delighted with the new building which will significantly enhance the existing Trading Estate. “It is also great to see the Group expanding at this time and bringing more employment to the city. The new building will accommodate over 30 people working in sales, aftersales and administrative roles” Pemberton added: “Since joining Rivervale in 2009 the
business has seen significant growth year on year. “This reflects the current trend in the industry with more drivers turning to leasingtofundtheirvehicleneeds. It is clear that people are beginning to approach vehicles in the same way they do their mobile phones.” If you have spotted a better price elsewhere please give us a call on 01273 433480.

Chris Nash says it is a huge privilege to be awarded a testimonial year with Sussex Cricket. The 33-year-old batsman has been at the heart of Sussex Cricket for nearly the past two decades, having joined the club as an eight-year old and has been granted a testimonial year in 2017. He said: “To be awarded a testimonial year is a huge privilege. Having started playing at Sussex as an eight year-old, it was always my dream to play first-team cricket here. “To have played over 400 games, won trophies and have a lot of personal success is something my family and I are very proud of. I hope to play for many years to come and help the club back to winning ways with a very promising squad. “I would like to thank Sussex for granting me a testimonial and I look forward to a fun year of events and a great chance to support the charities I have chosen.” Born locally in Cuckfield, Nash made his first-class debut for Sussex back in 2002 and has since gone on to play 165 first-class matches for the club, scoring more than 10,000 runs, with his highest score of 184 coming against Leicestershire in 2010. He made 1,256 runs in the Specsavers County

Cachopa agrees early release Cricket
Chris Nash celebrates reaching his century against Somerset in the T20 Blast last season
Championship in 2016, averaging 54.60. He is also closing in on 3,000 runs in List A cricket for Sussex, and has made more than 2,500 runs for the Sharks in the NatWest T20 Blast format. He has played over 400 matches for Sussex across the three formats. In terms of trophies won for the club, Nash is one of Sussex’s most decorated players, being part of the squad that won the County
Championship in both 2006 and2007,includingthedouble with the C&G Trophy in 2006, Pro40 titles in 2008 and 2009, as well as the Sharks’ 2009 Twenty20 Cup victory. Sussex chairman Jim May said: “Chris Nash has been a tremendous player for Sussex over many years. His ability to play a major part in all competitions makes him a very valued cricketer. “Chris has grown up through our system and
his batting has given our supporters much pleasure. I am confident that he will be well supported in a much deserved testimonial year.” Nash’s charities that he has decided to support are Rockinghorse Children’s Charity and the Sussex Cricket Foundation. His testimonial launch will take place on March 10, 2017, at The Grand Hotel in Brighton, with a full range of events to follow in due course.
One week left to register interest for Brighton Marathon Brighton Marathon
Runners have until Friday to register their interest to take part in next year’s Brighton Marathon. Due to high demand, a limited number of general entry places were made available and the deadline for applications to be registered is 5pm on October 14. In order to participate, runners must register, before they receive information about how and when to enter. They will then be sent an email giving them a minimum of 48 hours notice of when entries will open. The number
of general entries available will be strictly limited and will be on a first come, first served basis. Next year’s Brighton Marathon takes place on Sunday, April 9, and thousands have already signed up. The marathon is just one part of the Brighton Marathon Weekend, an event that also encompasses The Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens Mini Mile Races, the BM10k and the Brighton Marathon Exhibition. For more information or to register interest to take part visit www.brightonmarathon. co.uk
Sussex batsman Craig Cachopa has reached an agreement with the county for an early release from his contract owing to personal reasons. The 24-year-old arrived at Hove in 2014 and signed an extension to his contract earlier this year, however he has now decided, in consultation with the club, to return home to New Zealand to spend time with his family and rest some minor injuries. Cachopa, who was born in South Africa but qualifies as a non-overseas signing as he holds a Portuguese passport, made his Sussex debut in the NatWest T20 Blast in 2014.
Cachopa said: “I am grateful for the fantastic opportunity I have had over the past three years here at Sussex, however I think it is a good time for me to return to New Zealand to try and achieve some of my childhood dreams after some much-needed rest. “I love county cricket and it has been a fabulous experience for me representing Sussex in all three formats. “I intend to spend some quality time with my family at home in New Zealand resting before considering my options, and deciding on my next steps towards achieving my aspirations to play international cricket.”

March delighted to sign new contract Brighton & Hove Albion
Steve Bailey

Winger Solly March was delighted to sign a new contract with Albion this week and has his sights set on reaching the Premier League. The 22-year-old, who is just returning from a long-term knee injury, penned a new four-year deal on Tuesday. March has not played for Brighton’s first team since suffering a knee injury at Derby County in December, although he featured in two under-23 games last month. He is now hoping to get another game within the next week or so, before pushing for a place back in the firstteam squad. On the new deal, speaking to www.seagulls.co.uk, March said: “I’m delighted to have signed a four-year contract and I’m looking forward to what lies ahead. “I’m looking forward to helping the club achieve their ultimate goal in the next few years, and hopefully we’ll get close to that this season.
“It takes time to sort things out and all the details in a contract, but I’ve always wanted to sign on here because I’m a local boy. “The manager spoke to me this morning, offered his congratulations and said I deserve this new deal, and now I’ve got to get myself fit. “Of course he’s right and hopefully I can do that as quickly as possible and start contributing.” Brighton boss Chris Hughton said: “I’m delighted for Solly, both in terms of his new contract, and, more importantly for him, that he is close to returning to playing after his injury. He gives us great options and had an excellent start to last season. “His new contract comes at the end of a tough and frustrating ten months. He’s worked really hard on his rehab and now his challenge is to get back to the excellent form he showed last season.” March has played 58 times for Albion, since making his debut in 2013. He has also been capped by England at under-20 and under-21 level.

The EFL first confirmed they were open to discussions onthetopicinFebruary,2014, and Albion’s move follows The Football Association’s confirmation that it will soon commence discussions with the government about the possibility of a change in legislation, with The FA’s chairman Greg Clarke a keen advocate of safe standing. Albion chief executive Paul Barber, who has already made fact-finding missions to both Borussia Dortmund and Celtic Park during the past 12 months, says the club is now ready and keen to explore the possibility – but the club can only fully consider such a move if the government changes legislation. Brighton will evaluate the possibility of introducing safe standing to a small section of the Amex based on several

factors. Aside from a change to legislation, and securing support from its Safety Advisory Group, the club will also need to look at the cost of installation, where it might be feasible inside the stadium, the potential impact on crowd behaviour and atmosphere, and a range of other commercial considerations. Barber said: “Safe standing has not been high on our agenda simply because of the government legislation ruling against it, but there now appears to be more of an appetite for change and, if this proves to be the case, we want to fully understand the implications for our club and stadium as early as possible.”

Brighton to look at safe standing
Football is a game full of statistics, and while some are viewed as vital to a club in judging their performance and those of their players on the field, some will be seen as moreimportanttosupporters than the management. One that was brought to the attention of Chris Hughton before last weekend’s trip to South Yorkshire was that the Seagulls had never beaten Sheffield Wednesday in 17 games at Hillsborough. While he acknowledged it could be something to motivate the players, Hughton
admitted that their priority was simply to put in the best performance possible against a tough Owls side. Albion followed through on that desire by shutting out the home side for most of the match. Gary Hooper’s injury-time goal merely a consolation for Wednesday, with Sam Baldock and Anthony Knockaert having already struck for the visitors. While it was a victory that extinguished a winless run that began more than 100 years ago, it also brought some redemption for Albion fans from the last meeting between the sides.
Having come so close to automatic promotion at the end of last season, Albion fans could only watch on as their promotion chances fell apart. Four injuries at Hillsborough saw them finish the first leg of the play-off semi-finals with ten men, and comfortably beaten 2-0 by Wednesday. To put both of those woes behind them in one fell swoop was a great way for Albion to go into the international break. It puts them in a good position to continue their five game unbeaten run next Saturday against Preston. BRADLEY STRATTON @BradStrat

Supporters are the lifeblood of the game
A
fter the heroics on the pitch at Hillsborough last weekend, much of the talk has been about the fans. This week we brought you the news that Brighton & Hove Albion have begun to look at the possibility of installing limited safe standing at the Amex. The issue was debated on BBC Sussex Breakfast and I think consideration from government, club officials and of course the fans will continue over the coming months and probably years. It is such an emotive topic that it certainly requires detailed assessment. The supporters and their safety should always be at the heart of everything. They are the lifeblood of the game. The atmosphere at home games at the Amex has been talked about considerably in the stands, on BBC Sussex and in this paper but I believe the noise from all around the stadium this season has picked up. Safe standing may help in the future but cannot be relied on. Our BBC Sussex summariser Warren Aspinall has also picked up on the chanting of Seagulls fans away from home and they never cease to amaze us. Last weekend, ahead of the historic win against Sheffield Wednesday, I spoke to chairman Tony Bloom who said he wanted the win for the fans above all. Then I spoke to Paul, a ‘displaced’ Albion fan, who now lives in Yorkshire and his son. Paul had managed to convince his son to support the Seagulls above a
local team despite his obvious northern accent and the potential ribbing from his friends. I often see and speak to families who cover the country to follow their team and I adore the family bond amongst generations that sport provides and long may it continue. The comfort of seats and fun activities at the Amex before games has enhanced the experience for younger fans, while older supporters benefit from excellent accessibility. There used to be a small thrill when I watched football with my dad as I grabbed his leg amongst the swaying throng but I was too young to know the danger. I also was grateful at a game when he convinced a steward to allow us into the main stand when I was soaked through. That seat felt so good and I remember it now 40 years on. Hopefully there is a solution for all, young and old, home and away. Credit must go to the Albion for considering all options so early and they have often been at the forefront of stadium developments during their time at the Amex. Next week when we return to action I look forward to hearing more voices giving us their views on the subject. You too can join the debate.

Sergio Torres celebrates Hawks’ second goal at home to Merthyr Town on Saturday
Hill pleased as Hawks progress Whitehawk FC Lewis Mason

Richard Hill was satisfied as Whitehawk Football Club moved to within just one victory of this year’s FA Cup first round proper on Saturday. Strikes in the final 30 minutes from Reece Connolly and skipper Sergio Torres helped Hawks seal a 2-0 home victory over division-lower Southern League Premier Division outfit Merthyr Town in the third-qualifying round encounter. Whitehawk reached the second round proper last season before they were knocked out in a replay by then League 2 outfit Dagenham & Redbridge. Despite the first round being just a victory away, Hill wants his side to take each game as it comes and said: “We needed that goal on Saturday, which we got through Reece. Merthyr are a good side and we did not take them lightly. “I knew what to expect
from them and they pushed us hard in the tie. “In the closing stages, we were under pressure but Sergiofinishedoffabreakaway to help us get through. “We were made to work really hard for it but to go through in this competition was most important. “I’ve told the players not to look any further ahead than the next opponent.” Hawks have been drawn against fellow National League South side Welling United in the fourth-qualifying round. Hill is expecting a tricky trip as Hawks look to reach the first round for a second successive year. He added: “We’ve got no control over who we are drawn against in this competition. No matter who you play, whether it be a team from above, below or the same standard, you have to set out the right way. “We’ll go into that one as we usually do, set-up in the right way and look to progress.” Before Hawks’ FA Cup encounter on October 15, they return to league action with a trip to Bishop’s Stortford on Saturday.
Hill saw his side suffer a 2-0 defeat at Hemel Hempstead in their last National League South outing and he is targeting a return to winning ways. Following that reverse, Whitehawk fell to 17th in the table and they have just 12 points from 12 matches so far. Third-from-bottom Stortford are yet to pick up a point at home this season but Hawks boss Hill is expecting a tough contest. He said: “No game in this league is easy. I watched them at Hemel Hempstead earlier this season and they were good. “They (Bishop’s Stortford) went a goal ahead and impressed early on in that game. “It’s going to be another difficult game, just like any in this league but we’ll go to them with the right attitude.” Following Saturday’s game, Whitehawk have two matches with Welling. First, they meet in the FA Cup a week on Saturday, before they make the trip to the same opponents for a league clash seven days later.
