THE LAST week has been a hectic one even by the usual autumn standards. On Tuesday we had the chamber’s construction voice event, where the merits of high-rise flats were debated as a solution to the city’s housing crisis.
On Wednesday CineCity Brighton Film Festival launched at Duke’s at Komedia.

Not to mention the Community Star Awards which celebrated the businesspeople really making a difference.
