Stadium will boost economy, councillor

Albion's new stadium in Falmer will give north Brighton an economic boost, a councillor has said.

Pat Hawkes, councillor for nearby Hollingbury and Stanmer, said: "I am so delighted that the Stadium will be built at Falmer.

"All the young people in my ward in north Brighton will gain from this.

"There will also be many jobs available for local people. Its a good day for all of us who supported the need for the stadium in this part of the city."

It ain't going to help you, Pat Hawkes. Shame it didn't come in time to save all your Labour colleagues on the Council, eh?

A lot of lip service given to this 'boosting the local economy' rubbish - even from the official report. Apart from low wage slaves , what else is on offer? I'd dearly like to see some real specifics being put forward here.

Great to have the go ahead for the stadium. I hope the young people in Pat's ward will benefit. Won't make up for having to put them through a school lottery or for having to live next to a DUMP THOUGH WILL IT PAT!!!
