Ambitious plans to regenerate Preston Barracks and the University of Brighton’s Moulsecoomb campus will create more than 1,000 jobs and attract more than half a billion pounds to the city’s economy, say developers. Draft plans for Momentum Lewes Road go on display today (April 22) for comment at a public exhibition.

A joint planning application for three sites: the University of Brighton’s Watts car park and Mithras car park sites on Lewes Road and neighbouring Preston Barracks, will be submitted to Brighton & Hove City Council Planning Department by U+I Plc and the university later this year. Richard Upton from U+I Plc said the scheme would deliver ‘a wonderful place to live, work and learn’. SEE PAGE 3

Thousands of runners took to the streets of Brighton and Hove at the weekend (April 17) for the city’s annual marathon. Participants tackled the 26.2-mile course, which started in Preston Park and wove through the streets before finishing on the seafront, to raise money for charity, beat their own personal best or just to see if they could complete it. The winner, Duncan Mayio, finished the course in an incredibly speedy 02:09:56. With record-breaking numbers of runners, spectators and money raised, organisers said it had been an ‘amazing weekend’.

Renovation plans for the Preston Barrack and University of Brighton’s Moulsecoomb campus include the creation of 350 homes, small independent retail units, workshops and cafes. There will be a new home for the university’s Brighton Business School along with new teaching and learning facilities, as well as 1,300 student bedrooms. Richard Upton, from developers U+I Plc, said, “The partnership aims to create a new place that is lively and bursting with creative energy, delivering a wonderful place to live, work and learn. This major development will act as a marker to the city from the north, whilst contributing a vibrant new place with a

melting pot of uses, which will complement the existing community.” A 50,000 sq ft ‘central research laboratory’ to support new, hi-tech and design-led manufacturing start-up companies and entrepreneurs will be at the heart of the Preston Barracks site. It has attracted a £7.7 million grant investment from the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership. Cllr Warren Morgan, leader of Brighton & Hove City Council, said, “Preston Barracks has been on the drawing board for 14 years and it is a key site for new affordable housing for local people, jobs and growth. Brighton & Hove City Council City Plan envisages a joined up approach should be taken to development along the Lewes Road so it’s great that we are working in partnership with U+I and

the University of Brighton to drive forward this muchneeded regeneration.” Professor Debra Humphris, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Brighton, said, “We see this as a great opportunity to improve the facilities we have for our students and staff as well as to open up our sites on the Lewes Road to the local community. This is a very exciting proposal for the city and for the university – one which will create an open and attractive location which generates jobs, brings economic benefit to the city and will reduce pressure on the private housing market.” The exhibition is open to the public on April 22 (12pm-8pm) and April 23 (10am-4pm) at FIELD at Preston Barracks and then at Churchill Square on April 30-May 1. See www. momentumlewesroad.com for more information.

Brighton and Hove Bus CompanybossMartinHarris has hit back over claims that ticket rises are ‘a slap in the face’. Last week, Lewes MP Maria Caulfield said those in rural towns and villages would be hit hardest by the creation of a Network Saver and City Saver zone to replace the current Day Saver and that a return journey from Lewes to Brighton would increase from £4.70 to £6.50. However, Mr Harris said, “There’s absolutely no way that we would want to increase someone’s fare from £4.70 to £6.50 for such a return journey. “There is a new return fare on all the journeys that could have been affected so adversely by the new zonal system – £5 in the case of Lewes to Brighton.” He said that from April 26, a single journey from Lewes to Brighton, paying

cash on the bus, would cost £3, whereas a day return would be £5. A day ticket offering unlimited travel via a network Saver on a mobile phone or on line via a key card would cost £4.50, a scratch off ticket via an agent or travel shop in Lewes or Brighton £4.80 or a family ticket with unlimited travel on the network would be £10 on the bus or £9 on mobile. Mr Harris added: “Our aim with our fares review generally has been to ensure that for those people that do face an increase – not every ticket price is going up, many are frozen and some new discount opportunities have been introduced - that the level of increase is kept to a very reasonable level and that the resulting prices still continue to represent excellent value for money in terms of the overall range and level of services on offer.”

New phase for Royal Pavilion? Brighton & Hove Council is looking into plans to outsource the running of the Royal Pavilion and Museums. Members of the council’s Policy and Resources Committee will consider at their meeting on April 28 whether to start a procurement process to find a suitable organisation to manage the Royal Pavilion and Museums in future. A council spokesperson said the aim is to find a way of generating new income for the Royal Pavilion and

Museums, at a time of reduced council budgets, to put them in the strongest position to deliver their cultural and educational offer for all. A report to the committee says that if the service continues to be managed by the council there is a risk that sites might have to close as the squeeze on council finances continues. Councillor Warren Morgan, leader of Brighton & Hove City Council, said: “At a time when we have

less money to spend on services we have to come up with creative and practical solutions and this proposal is, in effect, like putting the Royal Pavilion and Museums into a lifeboat to protect them. We have been talking to staff to explain that we believe this is the best solution to secure their future. If the proposal is agreed, a procurement process could begin later this year, with a view to moving to new management in 2018.

Council backs plan to close day centre Angelika Rusbridge

news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy

A much-loved council-run day service in Brighton is likely to close after a majority vote, despite objections. The Tower House Day Centre provides services for the elderly and those with physical disabilities but currently operates at 50%83% capacity, according to consultations. Phelim Mac Cafferty, Green councillor and convenor of the Green group, was the sole objector during the special meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board vote on Tuesday (April 19). He said: “At the November meeting of the Policy and Resources committee, council officers were instructed to consult on ways to keep the day centre open for its existing users. This simply hasn’t been done adequately and I’m furious that we are being asked

to close a beloved service without any alternatives having been considered.” According to the consultation, 78% of a total 55 polled said they would rather keep Tower House as is, while 44% of 52 stated alternative services would be their second preference. The report also states that only 13 people have eligible needs requiring the level of service provided at the centre. Councillor Karen Barford, Labour, proposed considering the space for future community-driven purposes, and thanked volunteers and staff of Tower House profusely for their work, stating that all would be done to find places for them elsewhere. Karin Divall, head of Adult Social Care (Provider), said the three-month consultation included individual and group meetings, questionnaires, a number of letters, and a care manager based at Tower

House who spoke to people regarding their assessed social care needs. She said: “The majority of people attend Tower House for social reasons, so otherwise they might be isolated, so it’s not around personal health care needs but their need for social interaction.” Many members of the centre and carers spoke to the board regarding their fears of isolation – and said that sometimes their visit to the day centre was the only time during the week that they smiled. Roberta Spink, who started the 679-signature petition ‘Save our lifeline. Please keep Tower House Day Centre open’, said: “It’s such a shame, we will lose friendships, there are probably people I won’t ever see again once it’s shut.” The Policy and Resources Committee will meet on April 28 to make the final decision.

Strike action as conductor role scrapped on railways Huw Oxburgh

news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy

Rail union members have backed major strike action over Southern Rail plans to scrap conductors on all its services. Southern says it wants to replace conductors with onboard supervisors, a new role which would focus on helping passengers with service information and checking tickets instead of safety responsibilities such as operating train doors. The changes will affect around 300 Southern employees. While the rail company says there will not be any compulsory job losses, its plans have proven unpopular with the rail unions RMT and ASLEF, who say the changes will impact passenger and staff safety. RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said, “RMT, supported by our ASLEF colleagues, is wholly opposed to the attack on the safetycritical conductor grades and the threat of Driver Only Operation.

“Our members on Southern GTR have given loyal and professional service to the company and are being rewarded by being forced into a new grade, having their role and responsibility reduced and their hard-earned terms and conditions attacked. “These trains are desperately over-crowded and the conductors are the eyes and ears preventing a major tragedy on the platforms and carriages. “RMT’s demands could not be clearer and the union remains available for meaningful talks.” Southern Rail disputes the union’s claims, saying there is no evidence services without conductors are less safe and that the union has refused requests to discuss the new role. A spokesman for Southern Rail said, “All we are doing is evolving the role of the conductor to one which is more visible to passengers and able to offer improved customer service. “As many trains will be staffed as they are today. “There will be no compulsory job losses.”

How the i360, with a spire, will compare to other UK towers.

i360 a-spires to be even taller

Independent Reporter bex.bastable@jpress.co.uk @BexBastable

Plans have been submitted to Brighton and Hove City Council for a spire for the top of British Airways i360 – boosting it by 11.45m and making it the tallest observation tower outside London and the secondtallest observation structure in the UK after The Shard. The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth is 170m tall, Blackpool Tower is 158m, St John’s Beacon in Liverpool is 138m and Glasgow Tower is 127m, while The Shard is 310m tall. With its proposed spire, the British Airways i360 tower would be within

the 175m height originally approved by Brighton and Hove City Council in 2006. David Marks, of Marks Barfield Architects, said: “The proposed spire is an architectural feature on top of British Airways i360 to replace the original wind turbines which proved unfeasible to install. “Spires on top of buildings look great and have many precedents going back over a thousand years or more, adding light design features to the skyline that can be seen from afar.” The planning application also includes other amendments to the original consent: a children’s play zone inside the beach building and a proposal for

the eastern West Pier toll booth to become a tea room. British Airways i360 chief executive Eleanor Harris said: “Our thinking has evolved since we were granted planning consent 10 years ago. The West Pier is held in great affection and we felt it important to open the toll booths to public use. The eastern toll booth will now become a tea room, which will be open to members of the public not just people riding on the vertical cable car.” West Pier Trust chief executive Rachel Clark added: “We are thrilled that the original toll booths from the West Pier are being rebuilt and returned to public use.”

Homeless teens’ artwork Artwork created by two homeless teenagers from Palestine and Israel will be exhibited in Brighton during the city’s annual Artists Open Houses Festival, which takes place over the five weekends this spring starting on April 30. SEAS – Socially Engaged Art Salon – will also hold workshops at 2 Steine Gardens for children and adults to create artworks, which can then be given to rough sleepers to exhibit and sell. The artwork has been created by Gaia, 11, and

Hassan, 13, two teenagers from homeless families who met in the Arab Jewish “Occupy” tent camp for social justice in Jaffa, Israel in 2012. The series of 30 mixedmedia drawings document daily life in the camp during an eight-month period, as well as depicting major local and global demonstrations in the protest movement and inequalities in Israeli society from the children’s viewpoint. SEAS will also host a series of workshops for all ages on the subject of homelessness every Sunday during the

festival between 11am-1pm. Participants will be asked to create miniature sculptures made from pebbles collected from the shore that imagine the lives of people in Brighton’s homeless community. The participants will then be asked to give the small sculptures to rough sleepers who can exhibit, keep or sell them. Entry to the Artists Open Houses festival is free to the public. The project has been exhibited in various galleries in Israel.

Enjoy the tastes of Brighton with tour Alexandra Cook

news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy

Food lovers can experience the eclectic flavours of Brighton on foot as Brighton Food Tours launches the city’s first walking gastro tour on April 22. Created by friends Angela Brightwell and Catriona Lane, the V.I.B Tour (Very Independent Brighton) aims to showcase and support local independent food businesses. Catriona Lane, a full-time teacher, said: “We set up this company because we’re passionate about shopping local. “It makes us angry to see big brands like Starbucks full of people when there are just so many independent businesses in Brighton doing such fantastic things.” Every Friday and Saturday from 11am-2pm attendees will be guided through the town, stopping off at ten food and drink outlets ranging from gourmet street stalls to established institutions. Writer Angela Brightwell said: “Punters will get a real feel foodie taste of the sprit of Brighton. “We take them off the beaten path, giving them a

BRIGHTON AND HOVE INDEPENDENT

historical taste and even a sense of food politics.” Throughout the threehour tour guests will sample a variety of tastings, witness demonstrations and hear talks about sustainable food from vendors and producers. Ms Brightwell added: “We couldn’t have done this five years ago, there just wasn’t enough variety. “But the food and drink industry has really exploded in Brighton over the last few years.” The tour aims to appeal to both local residents and people visiting the city by showing them some true hidden gems they may have missed on their own. Erin Pearson, a new Brighton resident who attended the pilot tour, said: “People so rarely walk around their own cites. “Brighton Food Tours helps people to rediscover and feel closer to the place they live.” IftheV.I.Btourissuccessful, the company hope to expand their range to include specialised alternatives such as vegetarian or area-specific tours of Kemp Town and Hove.

More than 50 girls from across Sussex, aged six to 13, attended the free day of team games. Brighton and Hove Albion Women’s players Jay Blackie, Lily Agg, and development squad player Annie Rolf dropped by with manager James Marrs, to demonstrate their skills. Kim Stenning, AITC’s girls participation officer who also plays for the women’s team, is leading the new initiative.

Women’s History

By Louise Peskett

To the Sunday Times via the goldfields

’ve been doing a lot of walking around Hove lately in preparation for my new ‘Notorious Women of Hove’ walking tour that starts at the end of the month. One woman I definitely want to tell people about is Alice Ann Cornwell who came to live in Palmeira Square in the early 1900s. Hardly a household name, Alice’s list of achievements is impressive: industrialist, gold-miner, entrepreneur, newspaper proprietor and, ultimately, the originator of the Ladies Kennel Association. Born in Essex in 1852, Alice spent most of her childhood and teenage years in New Zealand. She returned to England in 1877 and showed great promise as a musician, training at the Royal Academy of Music and composing music and songs. Finding out that her father, now a gold prospector in Australia, was in financial trouble, however, she abandoned her music career in order to help him. Once back in Australia, Alice took a practical course of action: she decided to study geology and mining. Unafraid to get her hands dirty, Alice often rolled up her sleeves up and got involved in the hard and dirty work of mining itself. Women weren’t

Alice Ann Cornwell

as rare in the mid to late nineteenth century Australian goldfields as you might imagine. The 1854 census of the Ballarat goldfields in Victoria, where Alice worked, revealed 4,023 women compared to 12,660 men living on the ‘diggings’, with five percent of them single. Whether these women were wives of miners or mining themselves, it was far

from being an easy life. A woman by the name of Ellen Clacy wrote these vivid observations of life on the Victoria goldfields in 1852: “Night at the diggings is the characteristic time: murder here-murder there- revolvers crackingblunderbusses bombing-rifles going offballs whistling-one man groaning with a broken leg...Here is one man grumbling because he brought his wife with him, another ditto because he left his behind, or sold her for an ounce of gold or a bottle of rum. Despite these hardships, Alice worked hard and struck gold. So much gold that soon she was able not only to sort out her father’s hardships but make an excellent living for herself too. With her business-mind swinging into action, Alice quickly established a company that was floated on the London Stock Exchange. Fantastically wealthy, shrewd, and with a big personality to match, Alice was soon a celebrity, dubbed the ‘Lady of the Nuggets’, even, in 1888, inspiring a novel, ‘Madame Midas’ by Fergus Hume. Back in London with her fortune, Alice turned her mind to other business opportunities. In 1887

she bought the ailing Sunday Times and, installing her fiance, Frederick Stannard Robinson, as editor, managed to quadruple circulation. In 1894 she founded the Ladies Kennel Club. This organisation, still going strong today, describes Alice as ‘formidable’ on their website. She set up the organisation ‘in defiance of the gentlemen of the Kennel Club of the day’ with the aim to put on dog shows ‘run by Ladies for Ladies’. Unusual for the day, its offices were staffed entirely by women. Cats got a look in too, as Alice later became involved with the National Cat Club, as well as the International Kennel Club. Widowed in 1902, Alice settled in Hove where she bred pugs until her death in 1932. Despite making huge strides in worlds only sparsely populated by women, a New Zealand newspaper, the Otago Witness, chose to focus more on her looks in an 1889 profile: ‘Miss Cornwell is, if not a prepossessing woman, at least not unhandsome. Her face and features somewhat irregular and undefined, it is true, harmonise well with her symmetrical and well defined picture.’ I’d like to think that ‘formidable’ Alice Cornwell was too busy to let this bother her.

A Radical View

with Tony Greenstein

I have opposed anti-Semitism all my life Imagine, you are accused of an offence, the nature of which is not disclosed.

Your guilt is assumed and having reached a verdict there then begins a trial! You can choose between either Kafka’s Trial or the trial of Alice in Wonderland. Such has been my experience for the last month. On March 18th I was suspended from the Labour Party. When I first joined, in the late 1970s, it took 15 years before I was suspended. Now it’s taken just three months! The Labour Party’s Compliance Unit have refused to divulge the reasons for my suspension other than that it is for comments I have apparently made. But even though they cannot tell me, details were leaked to that well known supporter of the Labour Party, The Daily Telegraph. It would appear that my suspension relates to my views on Israel. I am one of many Jewish people who don’t accept that the Israeli state represents them. In particular we take exception to the treatment of the Palestinians. Jews have historically been the victims of

Tony Greenstein

murderous racism. The conclusions we draw from that legacy is that racism is wrong, whoever practices it and whoever is the victim. So when Israel segregates Arab and Jewish women in maternity units and offers Jewish students in university

accommodation the option of not having to share with Arabs we object in the same way as we would object if white students in this country were offered the option of not sharing with Black or Asian students. To raise these questions however is to invite the charge of ‘anti-Semitism’ and in the case of Jewish critics of Israel and Zionism, the movement that created the Israeli state, we are termed traitors and ‘self-haters’. The accusation of being a traitor assumes that Jews owe a loyalty to the Israeli state. After the murder of four Jews in Paris last year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that he was the representative of Jews throughout the world. Most Jews reject this. The idea that Jews have a dual loyalty, to the state they live in as well as Israel, is a deeply anti-Semitic one. In today’s Labour Party there is a battle being fought out between supporters of Jeremy Corbyn and what was New Labour. Unfortunately ‘anti-Semitism’ is being used as a weapon in this struggle and there is a deliberate attempt to conflate antiZionism and anti-Semitism. It is therefore ironic that a Jewish

anti-Zionist is being suspended for antiSemitism. I have opposed anti-Semitism all my life but I refuse to turn a blind eye to racism in Israel. Anti-Semitism is racism against Jews not opposition to racism against Palestinians. False accusations of anti-Semitism are like the boy who cried wolf. People become so immune to cries of anti-Semitism that they ignore it when it actually occurs. Today more and more Jewish people are speaking out against an Israel where the Right and the far-Right dominate. Where legislation is now targeted at human rights organisations who are demonised for revealing uncomfortable truths like the soldiers group, Breaking the Silence or B’Tselem. Last Saturday the District Labour Party meeting passed a motion calling for my suspension to be lifted. No doubt Labour’s bureaucrats will ignore it because the concept of natural justice is alien to them. Even in the Court of the Star Chamber the accused were told of what they were being accused.

Promotion would be great for the city

n a season where clinging on to one goal leads has seemed the norm, the Albion’s five goal thrashing of Fulham last week and the 4 – 0 win this week are a welcome celebration of just how well the club has done this season. A record breaking unbeaten run, with long stretches at the top of the table. Now, with three games to go, Albion are locked in a tight race for automatic promotion and at the very least have secured a place in the playoffs. Ninety years before our two towns became a city, they were joined under one sporting banner at the Goldstone Ground as Brighton and Hove Albion. Some of my earliest memories are from Albion players renting our spare room not far from the Goldstone, and my family has long ties with the club. My grandfather took up his place in the sea of flat caps on the East Terrace in the Thirties, a place he occupied for sixty years. I occupy an equivalent vantage point today at the Amex. I’m ancient enough to remember the last, and only time, the Albion gained promotion to the top flight in 1979, and the long trip to

Newcastle where it was secured.

The First Division, as it was then, bore little resemblance to what the Premier League is now, a global sports arena where hundreds of millions change hands in transfer fees and TV contracts for a worldwide audience. According to Total Football last year teams earned between £40 and £60 million each for TV rights, and this year it could be around £60 to £100 million. The league contributes almost £2.5 billion in tax revenue, and £3.4 billion to the nation’s GDP according to Ernst & Young. It is big business, and I’ve shared the frustration when fixtures have been changed for Sky coverage. But the club is much more than that, backing charities, tackling racism and homophobia, and winning awards for the work it does through Albion In The Community. The club motto this season is “Together”, and it does bring people of all backgrounds and different politics together as a football family, who mourn the loss of their own as we saw after the Shoreham air crash, or the tragic death of a fan at Falmer station last week. Promotion to the Premier League could

BRIGHTON EXPO 2016

bring hundreds of millions of pounds into the club, the city and the local economy, reaping the rewards of the vision, investment and commitment of Dick Knight, Martin Perry, Paul Barber and of course Tony Bloom. We had a taster of that with the Rugby World Cup last year. Beyond that, as recently promoted Leicester have shown, the prospect of European competition is not the preserve of the big clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. No one thought Leicester or Bournemouth could hold their own against the bigger clubs, but they have proved the doubters wrong. With a fantastic stadium, global but locally-based sponsor, and state of the art facilities at Lancing, the Albion have the resources to do the same. The boost for jobs, tourism and business from putting the city on a national and international sporting stage will be immense. As leader of the council that is something I’d very much like to see. But as a lifelong fan what matters most is the dream of promotion, and the glory of top flight football here in Sussex by the sea.

Hove Library is a treasured cultural asset for us all

he fate of Hove Library is set to be sealed at the Policy and Resources Committee next Thursday, April 28. Despite the Labour councillors ignoring the petition to save the building at the last full council meeting, the petition continues to be signed and the campaign to save the building continues to grow. It is a sign of the passion residents have for our library and its impressive history. I have not received more correspondence on a single issue from residents than on Hove’s treasured Carnegie Library. This week the business case for moving the library to Hove Museum was published. You can read it here: http:// bit.ly/HoveLibraryreport It is utterly unconvincing. Not only will we see massive cuts to staff, the book fund will be slashed and floorspace significantly reduced when compared to the Carnegie building. The business plan has us believe that flogging the purpose-built Carnegie library would make a good restaurant while the upstairs would be turned into flats. Why would a buyer risk the potential cost of dealing with the listed interior of the building as well as the £750k of urgent repairs that we are told the building needs? (despite the last survey stating the library is “in good serviceable condition.”) In any case if it’s in as bad a condition as Labour claim, how would it sell for £1million? The business case simply doesn’t add up. The plan states that if the unneeded move to the museum has financial shortfalls the difference will be found

from the library budget. There’s even an ominously-titled budget for discarding “excessive stock” in the business plan for the Hove Library move. Has it really come to setting aside taxpayers’ money for the destruction of books? But sadly it’s all part of the Labour councillors’ doublespeak: where sticking a massively reduced library into a reduced museum translates as a “cultural hub”, libraries that we own outright are described as “too expensive” and where libraries that were purpose built are described as “no longer fit for purpose”. Of course the cuts to library services need to be seen in the context of savage cuts to local authorities by the Conservative Government The 108-year-old Hove Library building is a prime example of the cultural cost of austerity. Hove Library was gifted to the people of Brighton and Hove by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. As such, it’s the people’s library, and it shouldn’t be up to Labour what becomes of it. Its fate must be decided by the people, in a robust and meaningful process of engagement, not a back-offag-packet business plan. Moving Hove library to a reduced service at the museum is not the only option. There’s a whole raft of ideas that are worth detailed consideration. With such a valuable cultural asset, we must make sure that all options have been fully explored before closing it down. It’s a sad state of affairs when we must save libraries from Labour. Yet both Greens and some Conservative councillors agree that Labour’s got it wrong on Hove Library. That’s why we’re calling on Labour to go back to the drawing board.

A school which helps young people to have happy, fulfilled lives The nominations are coming in thick and fast for the Brighton and Hove Business Awards 2016.

One notable nominee is St John’s School & College, which is in the running for Employer of the Year. The non-maintained residential and day special school, and independent specialist college, based in Seaford and Brighton, has been caring for children and young people for more than 130 years. The founder, Miss Jane Borradaile opened St. John’s as a seaside convalescent home in 1886. In 1956 St. John’s transformed into a school for children with learning disabilities and it has continued to provide the very best in education, care and support to this very day, protecting and helping those most vulnerable in society. In 2016 the school will be celebrating its 130th anniversary. Liz Dollin, who nominated St John’s, said: “We support young people from all walks of life, aged 7-25, who have complex learning disabilities and special needs. “We currently have learners with autistic spectrum conditions, Downs Syndrome, Asperger’s Syndrome and severe communication difficulties. “Our many personalised programmes cater for young people whose learning needs are often too complex for mainstream educational settings to support. “We offer these young people the chance to gain

independence, become part of their local community and develop the skills and opportunities necessary to lead happy, fulfilled lives.” Liz went on to explain that St. John’s is not only a great place for students but it’s also a great place to work. She said: “St John’s wouldn’t be the amazing place that it

is without our amazing staff team. “At St. John’s we don’t just want to be proud of what we do, we also want to be proud of how we do it. “That’s why we all share a set of values to help guide us. We’re all different so our values inspire each of us in unique ways.” The Brighton and Hove Business Awards ceremony will take place at the Bupa Lounge, Amex Stadium on June 17. Ticket price includes a drink upon arrival, a three-course meal with wine and a DJ.

On This Day Monday April 22 1822 Home to temporary auditoriums during the Brighton Festival, a fountain, thousands of pigeons, a public convenience converted into a café and a war memorial, the Old Steine was officially designated as an open space by Thomas Kemp and other landowners on behalf of the town. Known simply as ‘The Steine’ to locals, the natural

focal point of the town became the Old Steine in the 1790s when the New Steine was developed on the East Cliff.

It is believed that the name, in use since the 16th century, derived from a Flemish word meaning ‘stone’ as a number of large sarsen stones have been recovered from the area. For centuries it was an ill-drained, treeless area of grassland, with the intermittent Wellesbourne River flowing down

New Icons of Fashion Illustration By Tony Glenville (Laurence King Publishing) This is a fascinating book. It delves into the world of fashion illustration and tells us that these fleeting images that are done with pen or paint tell us far more than a digital photograph. Fashion illustration is enjoying a renaissance, not just in Paris or London but across the world. Often the seemingly inconsequential drawings and portraits tell us more about our values and lifestyle choices than the posed, edited and re-touched pictures of fashion shoots. All the well known names of fashion illustrators are here: Downton, Aponte, Berning, Brooks, Carlstedt, through to Zenou. There are so many styles and purposes to the illustrations, from advertising campaigns, department stores, jewellers, magazines and major fashion houses that are investing in the best and boldest of artists. They are as well, covetable and often affordable ways for collectors of art and fashion. Then there are the designs for accessories (you can to quote Ab Fab, never have too many bags!) and even china plates. This art form relies on the skill of eye and hand, drawing from life at speed that was in danger of disappearing. This art form has always been more than just a pretty drawing of a pretty dress, Glenville has picked the best for us to linger over and wonder at the joy of seeing an illustrator capture the line and form of an image and the movement of garments that swirl and spin before our eyes. Tony Glenville will be appearing at Bookish Supper Salon on April 21st. Tickets from Tabl.com

the western side. Brighton fishermen used the area for drying nets and storing boats in bad weather and in 1665 it was said to include a bowling green and extend beyond East Street. In 1760, the town’s first library opened on the eastern side and in 1776, wooden railings were erected to enclose the grassland, much to the anger of the fishermen. The Steine was further improved in 1792/93 when a sewer was con-

structed along the western side to channel the Wellesbourne and improve the drainage, thus removing the stagnant pool that lay along the north-western edge in front of the Prince’s Marine Pavilion. Two large hotels, the Royal York and The Albion, opened on the southern side in the 1820s, facing inland. Many trees, some over 140yearsold,werevictimsofthegreatstorm of October 1987.

This is quite often given as a gift to mums (£300 with five images, or £50 an hour for the therapy). You can also book a make up lesson or try a fully styled makeover. For those who really know

History

By Graham Chainey

‘Sweetest Shakespeare, fancy’s child’

hey’ve been radar-scanning his grave (results suggest he was shrouded, not coffined; his skull, in accordance with myth, may be missing); they’ve been using x-ray and infra-red technology to examine his will (they claim the “second-best bed” clause was inserted just a month before his death). The 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death (he died on April 23, 1616) has been marked by a predictable flood of books, programmes, events, articles, and gimmicks, with every presenter, producer, pundit, actor and academic scrambling to ride the bandwagon. Our greatest writer died, as he had lived, evasively, ambiguously. Having retired from the theatre for reasons unknown – satiety, fatigue, illness – he expired, according to one tradition, after a “merry meeting” with fellow poets Michael Drayton and Ben Jonson, “of a fever there contracted”. (There was certainly an epidemic of typhus fever that year in Stratford, with 111 burials.) Alternatively, an alleged death mask, now in Darmstadt, shows a swollen eye which has been diagnosed as Mikulicz’s disease, a lymphoma of the tear duct apparently

A bust of William Shakespeare, previously above the entrance of Worthing’s Theatre Royal

common in those days, and a lump above the brow which might have been a bone tumour. (Miguel de Cervantes, his Spanish contemporary, also died on April 23, 1616, though not, due to calendar differences, actually on the same day. There’s a brilliant short story by Anthony Burgess, “A Meeting in Valladolid”, in which an

encounter between the two literary giants is imagined.) Jonson declared Shakespeare “not of an age but for all time”. For Milton he was “sweetest Shakespeare, fancy’s child”, for Goethe “our father and teacher”, for Coleridge “the greatest genius that perhaps human nature has yet produced”. Shelley calls him “the greatest individual mind of which we have specimens remaining”. Ralph Waldo Emerson opined: “His mind is the horizon beyond which, at present, we do not see. He wrote the text of modern life. He was master of the revels to mankind.” For Dickens he was “the great master who knew everything”. Tennyson called him “the man one would wish perhaps to show as a sample of mankind to those in another planet”. Matthew Arnold wrote: “Others abide our question. Thou art free./ We ask and ask – thou smilest and art still,/ Outtopping knowledge.” “Thou art free” – this consummate actor, this donner of infinite guises – for whom the world is a stage, and the stage is the world – this universal enigma, this bundle of inconsistencies, this man who bestrides the globe while leaving scant clue – we feel we know him intimately, yet he forever

evades our grasp. Everything flows through him – words (where did he find them, in an age without dictionaries?), places (his mind inhabits with equal ease Rome, Denmark, Egypt, a magical island), people (princes, lovers, porters, fools), ideas (often centuries ahead of his day: Freud calls him “the great psychologist”). The Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, in a two-page essay, “Everything and Nothing”, that is worth all the centenary productions piled together, says there was nobody inside Shakespeare, only a dream, that each stage of his career was an act of camouflage – that the sonnets with their love triangle and dark lady are all a ruse, a scattering of red herrings in the path of posterity’s plodding scholars, that his retirement, lawsuits and will are an act, a dodge, a stratagem – that he was everybody and nobody, a dream dreaming a dream. Borges imagines him standing finally in the presence of God, who informs him that He too is without single identity. “I dreamt the world as you dreamt your work, my Shakespeare, and among the shapes of my dream are you, who, like me, are many persons and none.”

Students enjoy a great role model training day Students from secondary schools in Brighton and Hove learnt how to be role models for younger students at an event on Wednesday, April 13 at the AMEX Community Stadium.

Almost 90 students aged 13-14 from 10 local secondary schools were joined by a similar number of 10 and 11 year olds from Balfour, Patcham Junior and West Hove primary schools as part of the Be the Change programme. The event was put together by LoveLocalJobs. com and social enterprise humanutopia, along with mentors from local businesses, education and the public sector, Be the Change helps young people to fulfill their potential and improve their life chances. It focuses on happiness, confidence, hope, relationships and employability by identifying and removing barriers to success and raising aspirations. Over the course of the school year the students have six opportunities to work with business volunteers at day long events, one-toone mentoring sessions and workplace visits. Humanutopia’s founders,

Children from West Hove Junior School at the Be the Change Hero Training event

Carlo Missirian and Graham Moore, both former teachers who understand the challenges facing young people today, led the hero training event. They said: “Working with the younger children brings out the “hero” or role model in our students. It promotes qualities such as leadership, team working and a sense of responsibility to those around them, especially younger and more vulnerable people. This activity also offers a great chance for the 10 and 11 year olds to develop

their confidence and experience of being around secondary school students in preparation for moving into higher education.” The secondary schools involved in the programme are Cardinal Newman, Dorothy Stringer, Hove Park, Longhill, PACA, BACA, Varndean, Patcham High, Blatchington Mill School and Sir Robert Woodard Academy. Be the Change Brighton is supported by Sussex Learning Network, University of Sussex, Brighton and Hove City Council, Heart FM,

Coast to Capital LEP and The Careers & Enterprise Company. Sarah Williams, director of Sussex Learning Network, said: “The Sussex Learning Network is delighted to be sponsoring the Be the Change programme right across Sussex this year – it’s providing a fantastic opportunity for our educational partners to engage with young people in a really innovative and inspiring way, and we hope to be able to continue to support the programme for years to come.”

It sounds like common sense to have a website to advertise your business and the relevant landing pages to market your products. Many businesses understand what a landing page is, but not how to implement it into their business strategy. So, you have built your website, managed to attract visitors, but what is the next step? While I’m sure you have worked hard to create a fantastic eye-capturing homepage, your homepage alone won’t get you the sales you are hoping for. Here are some benefits of having landing pages: 1. More pages mean more chances of conversion. It’s just like maths; if you have 10

2. It keeps the customer focused on a specific action. Be sure to not direct your customers to a random unrelated page. 3. It allows you to use different sets of keywords. All your products will have a different set of keywords. The problem is that your homepage already has many keywords, so if you add more, it will only make it less relevant to search engines. The more specific a page is, the more important it is considered to be. 4. It attracts different types of customers. Everyone will be visiting your website for different reasons. With more landing pages, you are able to satisfy the needs of different customers. The more you have, the more you can offer them, which ultimately equals more sales.

The city is getting ready to welcome Brighton and Hove Pride Festival this summer, with a line-up of impressive headliners and loads of activities. The main event takes place on the weekend of August 5-7, culminating in the Carnival of Diversity featuring music by Carly Rae Jepson, DJ Fresh, Fleur East, Frankmusik and many more. There is also a limited-

ticket warm-up show featuring Pam Ann, to be held at the Hilton Metropole on the Friday. In the weeks leading up to the carnival, Pride will host activities throughout the city including the Diversity Games, Rainbow Run and the Pride Dog Show. Aiming to unite people regardless of gender, sexual orientation or fitness level under an umbrella of fun, the Pride Diversity Games will be held in Preston Park July 2324. Confirmed categories for

the games weekend, which is free for spectators, include tennis, golf, football, rugby, cricket, and the Rainbow Run which raises money for local LGBT charities. Many non-competitive sports, like yoga and Pilates, will also be available, but for those 500 spectators from across the UK and Europe who want a free show, FunDay will be held on the Saturday. The Rainbow Run begins with a 30-minute disco music warm-up, followed by a 5K run with a twist as participants are made to don items of

disco-themed clothing at every kilometre mark before continuing, so those running competitively must factor in an extra challenge. FunDay, which is expected to draw 1,000 participants, will be filled with classic activities like Egg & Spoon, Three-Legged Racing, Sack Racing and Tug-of-War, with prizes awarded at a ceremony in Preston Park on Sunday. Following the actionpacked weekend of sports will be the Pride Dog Show on July 31 in Preston Park, in association with Coastway

Vets. In addition to retail stalls, a doggy catwalk and refreshments, industry professionals will be on site throughout the day to judge the dogs in various categories. Brighton and Hove Pride Festival is supported by many community organisations, businesses, and individuals alike,butmanyoftheactivities would not be possible without volunteers.

Songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Hannah Peel toured the South Coast with her music box on Record Store Day (April 16), playing live gigs in Brighton, Eastbourne and Bexhill. Nick Linazasoro caught up with her ahead of her Resident (Kensington Gardens) gig to talk about her work and the 12” gold vinyl release of her Rebox2 mini-album S Q. Having graduated with a first-class honours degree in music and performance, you’re a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist. How exactly did the idea of Hannah Peel’s Music Box Tour come about? A: I don’t feel like all those things but I do love creating! My manager Steve Malins has to listen to a lot of my crazy ideas, and this one started off on the back of a motorbike. So I was happy when he went for it and helped me put it all together with the shops so we could celebrate having a limited edition vinyl out on Record Store day by doing something a bit mad. The music box is also the only instrument I have that’s very easy to carry around and set up compared to synths and piano.

Q. Did you build your music box yourself and how long does it take you to make all of the cut-outs in order to play it? A: After producing an AV festival for Liverpool’s 2008 Capital of Culture, the music box was the only thing that didn’t involve anything except the cogs, a hole puncher and paper. It got me back into making music again. A really good friend and artist David Ford from Eastbourne helped me build this version for touring after he found me taping it down onto an old mandolin! It takes around 12 hours to map and out and punch the holes for each song. Q. I purchased a CD copy of Rebox2 at your De La Warr Pavilion gig in Bexhill last year. Why have you chosen to celebrate Record Store Day with this particular release and why in glorious gold? A: I’m a huge fan of vinyl. My first release Rebox 1 was initially put out on vinyl, and the excitement of holding and listening to a record for the first time will never fade. Rebox 2 came out on CD for a tour I was doing with East India Youth and to my surprise everyone kept asking for the vinyl version. It was great to be able to finally join in on Record Day celebrations with something special and fun.

Q. I see that one of your new alter-egos Mary Casio harks back to childhood brass bands and 1970s synths. What can we expect from her? And to me, Mary looks like the illustration on the cover of last week’s single release, ‘Diagram Girl’ by Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve. Do you agree? A: She’s very similar, yes, and that was complete serendipity. BTWS, didn’t even know about Mary Casio at the time. I had been writing instrumental music using just my Juno 60 and Moog and her name was in my head for a long time as a character. But when I discovered the star constellation Cassiopeia, then I knew where she was heading to. A Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire lady, (the character is) now in her 86th year, so this will be her biggest journey. Q. When will your full length Hannah Peel album see the light of day and will it include the synth version of ‘All That Matters’ that you performed at the De La Warr? A: This autumn! I’ve been waiting a long time to finish and release it. And, yes, it will include ‘All that Matters’. It’s the opening track to the album. Definitely will be back.

Dark visual comedy explores one man’s descent into a ridiculous crisis Theatre

Phil Hewitt

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

Birthday in Suburbia heads for the Brighton Fringe, devised by The Upstairs Brigade and directed by Ally Cologna. The show offers the UK premiere of a dark visual comedy by a multi-national theatre company, combining spoken English with elements of international sign language. Actor Anja Bibby said: “The Upstairs Brigade present a devised production inspired by the ever-popular film, It’s a Wonderful Life. “Stanislav Novak has a nice house, a nice family and a nice job. His life is complete. “Today is his 40th birthday, and the party is just warming up. “But what’s up with

Stanislav? He’s locked himself away and won’t come out… “A kaleidoscope of mundanity and the surreal, Birthday in Suburbia invites its audience to follow the descent of an average man into an extraordinary, ridiculous personal crisis. Birthday in Suburbia deftly merges clown, dark comedy and memorable visual imagery in this one act tour de force. “The Upstairs Brigade are a brigade of theatremakers that share a passion for telling stories that move, create laughter and resonate. “The group met in 2015 on the physical theatre MA at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, where director Ally Cologna also teaches. “Birthday in Suburbia is their first professional production. “Their mission is to

become a new creative force in the world of visual theatre. “Ally Cologna trained at the Jacques Lecoq school. She was co-artistic director of female clown/visual theatre company Brouhaha 1990-2004. “The Upstairs Brigade is an international company (with more than 12 languages between them) based across London, Brighton, Olso and Helsinki. “They are a cast of one deaf and eight hearing actors, hence their interest in using especially visual and physical theatrical language.” The cast is Anja Bibby, Camilla Nervi, Jan Kramer, Dawn Jani Birley, Pawel Jackiewicz, Nathalie Czarnecki, Joe Carter, Catherine Self and Ami Moulton. The show is at The Warren: Main House from May 13-15 (8pm). Visit www. brightonfringe.org.

Capturing the spirit of the trendy craft beer movement Brighton Tap Takeover

Brighton Bakery Teutonic treats for fraus and frauleins

Craft Beer Tap wall

By Philippa Kelly

100% VEGAN

www.taptakeover.co.uk Twitter @tap_takeover

ver the weekend of April 8-10 Brighton became the centre of the UK’s craft beer movement. The Brighton Tap Takeover is a new style beer festival that celebrates one of the fastest growth industries in the UK at the moment. Craft beer has exploded in the UK with an estimated 1,300 breweries operating in the country. This is more per capita than anywhere in the world and the list continues to grow. Closer to home the success of craft beer has been epitomised by the guys over at Bison Beer and the support they gained for the Bison Arms pub in the South Lanes. The Brighton Tap Takeover saw ten of the UK’s top craft breweries take up residence in ten city centre pubs. Each pub was dedicated to a single brewery where they showcased their range of beers, the result of this was a total of around fifty beers to try over the weekend. The main hub of the festival was The North Laine Brewhouse on Gloucester Place where beers from each of the breweries was available – and this is where my journey began. To kick proceedings off I was invited along to the North Laine Brewhouse on Friday afternoon to join in a craft beer tasting event with some other press types, all in the name of research of course. Having an opportunity to hear from the brewers about their ethos and story was a great start to the day. What strikes me most about these beers is that you get a real feel for the personalities of the people making them. They all take inspiration from a variety of sources and express this through their products, and they are all very passionate about what they do.

Bakery Bulletin

North Laine Brewhouse

We also heard from representative of event organisers The North Laine Company and The Beer Collective about their reasons for putting on the event. Niki Deighton, director of the Beer Collective, said of the festival: “It’s so exciting to have all of these amazing brewers in our city for the whole weekend. “As well as great beer, each of the brewers will be bringing their own personalities to the party and provide music, food and frivolities all weekend long.” Once the tasting was over we were invited to select a favourite beer to be canned on site to take home with us in their specially designed Tap Takeover cans. This was a nice touch and not something that I had ever seen before. I very much enjoyed getting a can of Cloudwater’s DIPA v3 made in front of my eyes to enjoy the following day. Next up we went on a little tour of some of the other pubs starting with cake and beer pairings at The White Rabbit. We enjoyed a double chocolate milk stout brownie paired with a rather delicious Nightmare on Bold Street milk stout at the aptly named Mad Hatters Tea party. Next up was a trip to the recently

opened East Street Tap where Bison Beer and Two Tribes were in charge of the taps. This newly launched pub takes its inspiration from New York beer venues with bottle packed fridges and a wall of craft beer taps. This was followed by visits to the Mash Tun and Victory Inn which were particular highlights for me as the beers on offer were superb. Cloudwater, who had the Mash Tun, are a very interesting brewery who have created quite a legendary status. The DIPA v3 that I mentioned earlier was being launched at the festival and I’ve never seen so much excitement over a beer launch. Celt Experience, who hail from Wales, were in charge at the Victory Inn and were my personal favourites – and not just because they had beers on cask. Their beers are influenced by an interest in Celtic mythology and are specifically brewed with food pairings in mind. They were certainly very interesting brews that were packed with flavour and well worth seeking out. The Brigid Fire and Pre Prohibition IPA were especially good. After a final stop at vinyl haven Dead Wax Social, where a lot of the festivals musical entertainment was based, our day was over. The Tap Takeover festival is a fantastic event that really captures the spirit of the craft beer movement. Whether you are a craft beer fan or not you cannot deny the huge influence that these breweries are having on popular culture in the UK and further afield. If you missed out on all the fun do not despair as I am sure that the Tap Takeover will return next year and be even bigger and better than this inaugural event. Keep an eye out on their website and other social media to keep up to date with sorts of crafty goings on. Tom Flint writes a food blog Food Booze and Reviews at: www. foodboozeandreviews.com

chtung, dear readers, Achtung. Do you know your Weiner from your Wurst? Your Streusel from your Strudel, or your Autobahn from your Lebensraum? From Delicatessen to Doppelganger, via Noodles and Poodles, to Kitch and Kohlrabi, our language is littered with loan words from the Germans. Jarwohl. We can all say Pretzel, Pumpernickel and Sauerkraut, but Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte is slightly more complicated for an English Frau or Herr. That’s why we call it a Black Forest Gateau. The Americans can’t even manage that - they say Black Forest Cake. Neanderthals. That’s another German word. In 1915, Josef Keller invented the Black Forest Gateau. That’s according to nobody other than Josef Keller, so although it could be true, it could also be a German porky pie (that’s a Schweinefleischpastete). Wunderbar. The Schwarzwald, or Black Forest, is a mountain range in Germany, but it’s the liqueur from the region that lends its name to the gateau. Schwarzwalder Kirschwasser is a clear, cherry-flavoured liqueur, and according to German law, you can’t call it a Black Forest Gateau unless it’s got that liqueur in it. It’s like totes verboten. If you try, the cake police will come after you and put you in a camp. Josef The Liar had a café called Agner in a place called Bad Godesberg in Bonn, which was the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1999. More importantly, John Le Carré’s The Little Drummer Girl begins in Bad Godesberg, with the bombing of an Israeli attaché’s house. Irrelevant perhaps, but we do love a Le Carré. A Black Forest Gateau consists of layers of chocolate sponge, whipped cream and lots of cherries in various forms on it, in it, near it and in that liqueur. The Swedish version, Schwarzwaldtarta, has all of the above but also meringue. The Austrians make one too, but they use rum. The French call theirs La Foret Noire, which just sounds so lovely. Uber lovely. If you’ve enjoyed our Spiel half as much as we enjoy Schadenfreude, then our work here is done. It’s back to the kitchens for us. And Schnell. We’ve got a Schwarzwalder Kirshtorte to be getting on with. Auf Weidersehen, pet, and as JFK would say - Ich bin ein Berliner.

ROADTEST:NISSANJUKENISMORS

JOKER IN THE PACK

by Matt Allan Motoring writer

So, you like the ride height of an SUV, the performance of a hot hatch and the looks of a dog that’s been kicked up the rear?Thenyou’reaslightlypeculiarpersonbutyou’realsoin luck, there’s a new version of theNissanJukeNimsoRSthat will be right up your street. The second version of this strangestofcombinationshas hit our shores and arrived at theofficeonthecoattailsofits altogether more macho relation the 370Z Nismo. While the Juke has a 1.6-litre fourcylinderturboratherthanthe Z’s 3.7 naturally aspirated V6, andhasfourseatsandausable boot in place of a parcel shelf, itdoessharesomestylingcues with the Z. As with all Nismo production cars (including the bonkers Middle East-only Patrol Nismo), the Juke has been fleshed out with deeper front and rear bumpers, widened wings, bigger (18-inch) wheels and a roof spoiler. It’s alsobeentreatedtoasplashof the signature metallic red on the wing mirrors and around the skirts of the car. Allied to our car’s optional pearlescent white paint this certainly helps the RS stand out from the standard Juke and makes its connection to the Nismo tuning team clear. And make no mistake, the tuners have been as hard at work as the stylists. They’ve takenthe1.6-litreturbopetrol from the standard Juke and wrung215bhpfromit.They’ve also upped torque to 207lb/ft. While these numbers aren’t earth-shattering in the era of the345bhpFordFocusthey’re stillenoughtocreateanentertainingexperiencebehindthe

wheel.Keeptheturboonsong andtheJukeisarapid,willing performer, bounding up the road with the enthusiasm of a good hot hatch. Let it come off the boil, though, and it’s a different matter. Decent straight-line urge is matched by quick steering and there’s a mechanical limited-slip differential to help get all that torque down through twistier stretches. TheJuke’schassis,suspension and body have also been stiffened and the brakes upgraded to help its performance match its sporty pretensions. That extra stiffness shows in the firmness of the ride – tough but not unbearable – but there’s still a touch more body roll than in rivals due to the Juke’s extra height. The

brakesarereassuringlystrong at higher speeds but annoyingly grabby around town. The LSD is only available with the two-wheel drive version, there is a four-wheel drive option but is best avoided. It only comes with the automatic gearbox which is an old-fashioned and sluggish shifter that makes you sound and feel like a bad driver. The front wheels can cope with the torque and the car feels far livelier with the six-speed manual. It’s fairly safe to assume that practicality isn’t high on the list for most Juke RS buyers. This is probably just as well. While the boot’s an acceptable 354 litres, rear legroom is sorely limited and although there’s more space

up front the lack of reach adjustment on the steering is massively frustrating. The interior is, overall, a mixed bag. Our test car came with the optional Recaro bucket seats which hold you snugly once you get in but threaten to do you a serious injury on entry and exit thanks to unforgivingly high bolsters. It’s also well-equipped with NissanConnect systems offering navigation, Bluetooth and USB connectivity and a suite of extra apps through the 5.8-inch touchscreen. There’s a Tech Pack – featuring Xenon headlamps and Nissan Safety Shield with Around View Monitor 360-degree camera, lane departure and blind spot warn-

FACTFILE PRICE: £22,695 ENGINE: 1.6-litre turbo, 215bhp TRANSMISSION: Six-speed manual driving the front wheels PERFORMANCE: Top speed 137mph, 0-62 in 7.0 seconds ECONOMY: 39.2mpg EMISSIONS: 168g/km

ing – and cruise control and keyless entry are also standard. However, the NissanConnect screen is supplemented by a ridiculous secondary screen which shows either driving mode information or climate control details. It’s fussy and feels unnecessary giventhepresenceofthemain screen. There are also a few

questionable plastics among the nicely finished switchgear. For all its failings, though, there’s something faintly lovable about the Juke Nismo RS. It looks like nothing else on the roads and, while not up there with the most dynamic hot hatches, is an entertainingdrive forthoseaftersomething a bit different.

Crackdown toridstreetsof‘pointless’roadsigns COUNCILS are to be given new powers to strip away “eyesore” road signs in a bid to save cash andmakeBritain’s streetsmore pleasingontheeye,theGovernmenthasannounced. Signs warning of permitparking zones and cycle lanes could be among those removed under measures to be introduced on Friday by UK Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin. Repeater speed limit signs

could also be axed under changes Mr McLoughlin said could save local authorities £30 million over the next four years and stop drivers being “distracted”. MrMcLoughlinsaid:“Road signs should only be installed onourroadswhentheyareessential. Our common-sense reforms will help get rid of pointlesssignsthatareaneyesore and distract drivers. “These new rules will also

save £30 million in taxpayers’ cash by 2020, leaving drivers withjust thesignstheyneedto travelsafely.” SirAlanDuncan,theformer international development minister, will lead a taskforce “looking at removing pointless signs”,theDfTsaid. Whilemotorwaysandmajor trunkroadsaretheresponsibility of the DfT, local authorities control all smaller roads. The changes will apply to local au-

thorities in England, Scotland andWales. The Government argues that local authorities will save money through a reduction in the number of signs they have to keep lit - although danger signswillstillhavetobeilluminated. Among the rule changes being introduced is a “use by” date for signs warning of a new roadlayoutornewroundabout, to prevent them being forgot-

ten about and left in place “for years”insteadoftheregulation threemonths. Traffic restrictions like noentry or no left turn would also only require a sign at their start “if it’s safe”, the departmentsaid. Councilswillalsobeallowed todecidethemselveshowmany speed limit repeater signs are neededonagivenroad. Smaller signs and signs at lowerlevelforpedestriansand

cyclists will also be available, it said. Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said: “The test of good traffic signingiswhethertheyclearlyand effectively tell drivers something they need to know. It mustberightthatthisresponsibility should sit with councils who manage most of our roads and know them inside out,ratherthanbeingdictated from Whitehall.”

The GT8 - a true thoroughbred Inspired and influenced by the 2016 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE race car, the Vantage GT8 is a true thoroughbred.

The lightest and most powerful V8 Vantage ever, the Vantage GT8’s dramatically sculpted carbon fibre bodyworkhasbeenshapedbyracebred aerodynamic function. With a super-sharp chassis tuned for track-focused agility, powered by a revised 446PS1 version of Aston Martin’s rousing 4.7-litre V8 and available with a choice of sixspeed manual or seven-speed SportshiftTM II paddleshift transmissions, the Vantage GT8 has unmistakable style, a no-nonsense stance andadrivingexperiencethat’s second to none. From nose to tail the motorsport inspired special edition is every inch the road racer. Wide-bodied with aerodynamics that clearly take their lead from Aston Martin Racing’s WEC contender, it features extensive use of carbon fibre with the front splitter,

front and rear bumpers, fenders, side sills and rear diffuser all fashioned from the lightweight material. The Vantage GT8 is further distinguished by a new 5-spoke alloy wheel, with ultra-lightweight seven-spoke centre-lock magnesium rims available as an option. Both standard and optionalwheelsareshodwithMichelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres for exceptional performance onroad and track. Improved performance through weight saving is central to the Vantage GT8. Astandard-fit lithium ion battery sheds more vital kilos while further (optional) weight saving measures include a carbon fibre roof, polycarbonaterearscreenand rearsidewindowsandatitanium centre mounted exhaust. Together with the standardfit lightweight carbon fibre sports seats and carbon fibre door panels, this comprehensive suite of lightweight components saves up to 100kg, making the Vantage GT8 the lightest Vantage ever.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE

Air-conditioning, a 160w audio system and Aston Martin’s latest AMi III infotainment system ensures it remains genuinely road-useable. Announcing the introduction of the new Vantage GT8, Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy

Palmer said: “Road cars are our business, but racing is the beatingheartofAstonMartin. The Vantage GT8 expresses thatcombinationperfectly:an authentic and unashamedly extreme road car that draws directlyfromourLeMansracing programme to amplify the

inherent dynamism that has long made the Vantage such afine sports car. Beautifullyengineeredand set-uptobeequallyathomeon a fabulous road or a demanding race track, the Vantage GT8 is a driver’s car in the truest sense of the word.”

Appealing to collectors as well as pure driving enthusiasts, the Vantage GT8 will be strictly limited to just 150 examples. Recommendedretailprice starts from £165,000 and deliveries will commence in Q4 2016.

ROADTEST:SKODAOCTAVIAVRS230

GREY MATTER

by Matt Allan Motoring writer

Not too long ago the idea of a front-wheel drive hatch with morethan200bhpwasgenerally scoffed at. Now, however, any mid-sized hatch with less than that is derided as merely “warm” and this week’s Skoda Octavia vRS 230 with its 227bhp is – in pure output terms – nothing special. Such bare numbers, however,don’ttellthewholestory asthiscarhasthesortofblend ofperformanceandpracticality that helped create the hot hatchphenomenoninthefirst place. The 2.0-litre TSI petrol enginehasbeenremappedfrom thestandardvRS’s217bhpand also offers a torque increase from 243 to 258lb/ft. It is a refined and smooth unit but with plenty of punch, propelling our estate car to 62mph in 6.8 seconds. There’s little evidence of lag as it pulls well from low revs but there is a noticable surge above 3,500rpm,whenthecarstarts to really shift. Whiletheearliermembers of the 200+ club struggled to getallthatpowerontotheroad the current crop have no such worries. The vRS is equipped with a host of clever electronics and in 230 guise gets the added benefit of an electromechanical limited-slip differential, which can send up to100percentofthetorqueto

either wheel. Under even the heaviestaccelerationittracks straight and true and it feels confident on twisting roads, flowing beautifully through bends as the grippy front end turns in quickly and assuredly – assisted by that LSD and the 230’s uprated brakes. The only gripe is that you’re always aware that you’re in a big car – the front endturning and gripping in a way that the bulky back end of the estate can’t match.

Cook hits a century as Essex hold on to draw at Hove

Cricket

Sussex drew with Essex

www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk Twitter: @BrightonIndy

Alastair Cook made his second hundred of the season as Essex drew a thrilling Specsavers County Championship division two contest with Sussex at Hove this week. Dropped on one, the England captain anchored Essex’s pursuit of 329 in 91 overs which looked like being successful when he shared a fifth wicket stand of 103 in 29 overs with Jesse Ryder. But the ball after Ryder (35) brought up the century stand with a boundary, he was bowled off an inside edge trying to work leg-spinner Luke Wells into the off side. Wells then had Ryan ten Doeschate brilliantly taken by the diving Matt Machan on the extra cover boundary and Essex called off the chase when James Foster became Ajmal Shahzad’s third victim of the innings, lbw trying to work the ball through the leg side. When Sussex took the new ball they needed three wickets in ten overs but Cook, who was dropped on one by Danny Briggs, was playing with such confidence by then and the captains shook hands on a draw on 266-7 after Graham Napier had kept Cook company for 40 tense minutes. Sussex had been dismissed for 288 earlier on the fourth day, with Chris Nash again

top-scoring with 92. Sussex had won the toss on the first day and posted 360 as Nash struck 119. He dedicated the 20th hundred of his career to former teammate Matt Hobden. Nash and his team-mates had attended a pre-match ceremony when Hobden’s parents and his two brothers planted a tree in memory of the 22-year-old, who died in January, before both teams stood in a minute’s silence at the start of play. Essex responded with 320

in their first innings, before the game finished in an exciting draw. Cook, who finished unbeaten on 127 in Essex’s second innings, said: “I got a bit of luck early on (when he was dropped on one) so it was nice to cash in. We knew we had to take the chase deep and just when we got it down to five runs an over with Jesse (Ryder) batting well we lost him when we needed that partnershiptotakeusanother 50 runs closer, because it was always hard for new batsmen

coming in on that pitch. “It was a good game of fourday cricket on a good pitch with a lot of ebb and flow. We showed some good guts at the end when we were seven down not to lose.” Sussex captain Ben Brown said: “It was a great game of cricket between two teams who I think will be at the top of the second division at the end of the season. It felt no different to a hard-fought division one game to be honest. “No one could quite force

County’s top golfers out at The Dyke Golf

The Dyke Golf Club in Brighton hosted the first major county women’s event of the season earlier this month. The scratch foursomes knock-out event was played over three days with 21 clubs taking part. The weather on top of the South Downs threw all of its challenges at the players, with strong cold winds, heavy rain and hail making it a true test of golf in difficult conditions. Despite the heavy rain, the course drained well and the finals on Friday saw some welcome sunshine. The final was a hardfought match between the

partnership of Lizzie Price and Jean Parsons, of Nevill, and Rye’s Debbie Richards and Lisa Webster. The Rye pair started as favourites as the lower handicapped players but some steady golf and long hitting by Price kept the Nevill pair in contention. Securing par on the 16th hole was enough for the Nevill pair to close out with a 3&2 victory – 28 years after the club last won the event. The third and fourth playoff was an equally nip and tuck match, with the West Sussex pairing of Clarissa Bushell and Daisy Kane securing a 2&1 win over Pyecombe’s Aileen Greenfield and Alison Vermes.

the result. We always felt we had enough runs and even when Cook and Ryder were playing well we thought we were always one wicket away from being on top. Luke Wells got a couple of wickets for us and suddenly we were in the driving seat but we couldn’t quite force the result. “Dropping Cook on one was a key moment, there’s no getting away from that because when you get chances against top players you have to take them. He played brilliantly to be fair.”

Whitehawk Football Club won for the fourth successive match on Tuesday evening to keep alive their hopes of a National South play-off place. Hawks returned home with a 3-0 win from Bath City to move up to eighth place, just four points off the top five with a game in hand. Alex Osborn gave Whitehawk the lead from Danny Mills’ pass on seven minutes, before Bath had two efforts ruled out for offside in the first half. Jordan Rose headed home Nick Arnold’s corner to double Hawks’ lead on 53 minutes and Mike West lobbed home the third six minutes later. On Saturday, Mills scored both goals for Whitehawk in a 2-1 win away to WestonSuper-Mare. Hawks have three league matches left. They host Maidstone on Saturday, have the long trip to Truro City on Tuesday and then finish their season at Hemel Hempstead on April 30.

Kayal: We need to keep focused and do the job Brighton & Hove Albion

Steve Bailey

steve.bailey@jpress.co.uk Twitter: @SteveBailey67

Albion midfielder Beram Kayal hailed a great week for the club ahead of a crunch final three games of the season. Brighton moved to within two points of Championship leaders Middlesbrough and are behind secondplaced Burnley only on goal difference after a 5-0 win over Fulham on Friday was followed up with a 4-0 victory against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday. The Seagulls travel to already-relegated Charlton tomorrow and Kayal said: “It’s been a great week for us. We won two games at home, scored nine goals and kept two clean sheets. It’s a great feeling for the players and for the fans but we need to keep focused and continue to do the job. “We’ve worked hard all season and we want to be in this position. The games are coming quick at the moment, there’s a lot of pressure but a

lot of confidence in the team and we’re happy to be where we are at the moment. “There’s three games left now and we know it’s going to be tough. We’ll take it one by one and move on to the next game against Charlton. All the focus is on that, we want to do well and win the game.” Kayal expects a tough test against the Addicks but looked back on the previous meeting between the sides this season with fondness. Brighton fought back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and Kayal said: “I enjoyed that game and it was a great memory for the fans and for us as well. To be 2-0 down was a bad start for us but the victory is one we’ll remember. “We’re going there and will expect a big fight from them.” Striker James Wilson went off at half-time against QPR with a slight groin injury but could be involved at Charlton. Seagulls boss Chris Hughton said: “It’s more promising than we thought at the time. He will be a doubt; however, we’re certainly not ruling him out and he’ll probably still travel.”

Addicks clash the first of three finals for Brighton Charlton v Albion preview

Duncan Maiyo overcame a tightening left hamstring to retain the men’s title at the Brighton Marathon on Sunday morning. He achieved a personal best of 2hr 09min 56sec, missing out on the course record by just 31 seconds. Grace Momanyi made it a Kenyan double by winning the women’s crown in 2-34-16. See pages 12 and 13 for more.

ervous? Excited? Both? Three games, three wins and Albion will be in the Premier League next season. There’s a calm and confident aura coming out of the Seagulls squad at the moment. They know what they need to do and the pressure is still more on Burnley and Middlesbrough. Both spent big on strikers and have been rewarded. The Clarets bought Andre Gray for £9m and he has 24 goals and was named Championship player of the season. Boro signed Jordan Rhodes, also for £9m, in January, and his five goals have already earned the Teesiders five points. As for Albion, goals are coming from all over the park. Tomer Hemed leads the way with 16 after a hat-trick against Fulham last Friday, while the midfielders and defenders are also chipping in. None of the goals scored so far has been better than Jiri Skalak’s stunning half-volley in the victory against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday. The best at the Amex so far? Quite possibly. David Lopez’s free-kick against Crystal Palace was also pretty special and there have been a few other crackers, too. Next up is a trip to relegated Charlton on Saturday. Albion will be hot favourites to record a fifth successive win but it won’t be a stroll in the park. The Addicks gave the Seagulls a scare at the Amex in December and have also beaten Boro at the Valley.

With only goal difference separating them and secondplaced Burnley, Brighton will be looking to keep their scoring spree going against a Charlton side whose fate is already sealed. Not only were wins against Fulham and QPR in the past week crucial for Albion’s pursuit of an automatic promotion spot, they also helped cut the goal-difference advantage Middlesbrough and Burnley had on them. Scoring nine times in two games means that the top two are only four goals better off

heading into the final three games. For the Seagulls, it’s a simple equation – win their next two matches, hope results go their way, and put themselves in the best position possible heading into the final game against Boro. Tomorrow’s trip to The Valley, on paper, provides Albion with a chance to score goals against the Addicks, who lost their fight with relegation in midweek. The South-East London side’s supporters will, however, be continuing their fight off the pitch, a battle which Albion fans will no

doubt sympathise with after their fight against the sale of the Goldstone Ground. Charlton fans have been protesting against the way thatownerRolandDuchatelet and CEO Katrien Meire have run the club, with the latter having reportedly described the passion football fans have for their clubs as ‘weird’. Highly-visible protests have taken place inside and outside The Valley in recent months. There is every chance more will take place when the two sides walk out of the tunnel on Saturday.

The Albion Roar

Straight from the commentary box

by Alan Wares @albionroar

It could be a record-breaking season for Albion

hree games to go and Albion are still in the race for automatic promotion. Three games to go but the target remains the same. It could be a record-breaking season for the Seagulls if they achieve promotion. It has, of course, already been a season when many have thumbed through the almanacs, clicked through the websites and called the historians to see whether an old record has been surpassed. The unbeaten run at the beginning of the campaign was the foundation for this remarkable season in the Championship. Beram Kayal sent everyone checking their stopwatches after his explosive goal seconds into the game at Huddersfield. This week, as Chris Hughton’s side romped to a 4-0 victory over QPR, hot on the heels of the 5-0 defeat of Fulham, they took their tally to 17 clean sheets for the league season. When Hughton came to the club, many Norwich fans were rather disparaging about the style of football fans in Sussex could expect, citing a defensive obsession. However, he has not only established a settled back five but also instilled a confidence in his defenders. I’ve mentioned the youthful partnership of Goldson and Dunk, now they are scoring goals as well. Nine goals in two games is not a bad return. Those who went to Bristol City will also have enjoyed that showing. The midweek win against Rangers also showed the importance of consistency. Consistency of play but also of selection. It was the 11th time Hughton had named the same back five, and Scottish international Gordon Greer and former Champions League defender Gaetan Bong remain on the bench. As well as the goals, the clean sheets have contributed to a huge swing in goal difference for the Albion. Both the leaders Middlesbrough and Burnley

have plus-32, while the Seagulls are now just four behind on plus-28. It may be immaterial but you never know. It could be close, it may be level after May 7 on points and goal difference but it is just too close to call. In fact, no team have scored more goals than Brighton & Hove Albion so far (Burnley also have 67 goals). If Hughton’s team do squeeze into the top two spots and secure promotion, they may pass two of his former clubs, Newcastle and Norwich, on the way down. He is too decent to do it but Hughton could be forgiven for allowing himself a wry smile. Some of those Canaries fans may not be quite so chirpy as before.

Eskerrik asko (thank-you), Calde

oll back to Tuesday last week, Matt Potter and I are wandering through town, unsure what to get Iñigo Calderón for a present. We asked several people “What does Calde like?” “Football and running...”, “running and football mostly...”. “Well, he’s mad on football and always running...” Er OK, thanks. As neither of us could ever begin to know what footballers and runners would want, we decided we were going to be looking in art shops for something Brighton-y. We walk on some more through Pavilion Gardens, and ran into Chris Hughton. “Chris, help us out here, could you? What’s Calde into?” “Not sure. He’s 34, but trains like a 21 year-old. Lovely bloke. Football and running, really.” “Thanks, Chris.” We ended up in Sydney Street, and hit upon the idea of taking someone’s photograph and having it made into a canvas. Graeme Rolfe (aka Jack Straw on North Stand Chat) was delighted that we asked him if we could use one of his images. So we had a 90cm x 60cm canvas frame made up. We were just trying to remind him where his friends are. The Iñigo Calderon Appreciation Evening was a sell-out success. We ran a showreel before introducing the big man himself. He was expecting a few people, and a quiet evening. Fat chance. To be frank, he looked terrified when he came in. The Ginger Pig then served us an excellent three-course meal on a Basque theme – the main course being a chicken and chorizo stew with patatas bravas and asparagus on the side, and a sumptuous dessert. Drinks were also liberally served. Matt Potter was the MC for the evening, and he introduced Attila The Stockbroker to recite his poem for Calde. Kieran Maguire said a few excellently-chosen words. We also had

a video message from Andrea Orlandi, currently playing in Cyprus (tears, lots of tears). We presented Calde with the gifts – a signed print of ‘The Brighton Line’ – the ‘London Underground’ map of Brighton, featuring ‘Calderon’ as one of the stops. He also got a couple of books, and Nigel Summers obliged with a framed photgraph of ‘Albion Calde’, one of the NSC syndicate’s greyhounds; a bunch of flowers for Calde and his partner, courtesy of Flowers Unlimited, and a superb cake decorated as a Basque flag, courtesy of Vicky Lank. He needed his camper van to take all his gifts home – such was the generosity from a loving crowd. Then Calde made his speech, though he was – nearly – speechless. Much fun was had, pictures taken, goodies signed – all the while Calde himself wandered round ‘like a wedding’ talking to everybody. The guy, in a word, is class. Eskerrik asko, Calde.
