Councillors urged to quit by Hove business man (From The Argus)

Who else is sick and tired of people waving the Human Rights flag whenever they do not agree with something? This usually happens when they are in the wrong...

So what do the e-mails say?

I am confused, how or where has he urged them to quit? Was it a letter, a formal complaint, is he demonstrating in front of the council? Besides, if he is so sure there has been a breach of duty, and has the evidence to prove it, shouldn't he taking them to court? This is all very strange.

One email, from Councillor Davey, asked: “Do we know this man?”

Mr Campbell said: “Councillor Sykes, replying for both himself and Councillor Mac Cafferty, states not that I am a business owner or that I employ five local residents but simply and to our mind with malice that informed Councillor Davey’s and West’s decision making, ‘Adam Campbell stood for the Tories in Brunswick and Adelaide.’

Only a Green council would think it's a good idea for a shop to manually carry all it's goods across a road !!!!

Campbell asked for assistance concerning the loading restrictions for traders in Western Road.

Email traffic between 3 or 4 Green councillors were first of all concerned with his political affiliations. One of the emails asked "Do we know him"? and then others referred to him having been a Conservative candidate 7 months earlier in the May local elections and etc.

I was present and sat behind him at this meeting. He showed me the emails.

You can view the exchange on the council webcast section. The meeting is archived.

Is this the same shop which blocks the majority of the pavement causing problems for any blind or wheelchair users "human rights"?

This man sounds like he feels the world owes him a living. Unfortunately we can't all have loading bays exactly where we want them and so have to adapt. As a Tory he should surely understand this.

You know, I guessed from the headline that it was this numpty. Somehow, the story of how he went around physically intimidating voters at the last local elections never makes the Argus, does it? How about reporting that?

Sounds like sour grapes, he was stirring it up for political ends and didn't like being found out.

I always have to laugh at tories that hide behind "human rights" as they themselves always tend to dismiss them for everyone else.

DON'T whatever, accuse those councillors of colluding together to divert a complaint against them.

They stick together like ''tish'' on a blanket, and you will wind up being ''swept'' under, covered up and suffocated....Be warned!!

Mr Campbell has never been one to follow a correct procedure if that would involve him not being the constant focus of a media frenzy.

He knows what he has to do if he wants to pursue a complaint against them.

Shouting "resign" at them through the local paper sure ain't gonna work.

And the more he does it the more it looks like he doesn't have much of a case (and knows it!)

This allegation needs to be resolved asap. If there has indeed been an abuse of power by Green councillors then it needs to be investigated and not kicked into the long grass.

Isn't this the same Adam Campbell who threatened a mankini and human chain protest and then proceeded to get himself knocked down by a bus; an incident for which he was going to sue some councillors?

yes it is - and he stages ridiculous publicity stunts like running around the street wearing a flesh coloured body suit. And he does block a lot of the pavement with his garden displays. Sykes and MacCafferty have done an excellent job in the Brunswick and Adelaide ward and the residents are very happy with their democratically elected representatives. The idea that they would allow one businessman who doesn't even live in the area to get rid of their councillors is preposterous....

Abuse of power?? aye! tell me about it? In my case they even involved a ''Jonas'' betrayer from Norwich Greens to obtain my evidence so it could be destroyed..I'm not frightened to name him either : ''Marcus Hemsley''..was the collaborator..
Can you believe? they even hacked my computer and ruined photos..Little did they know I had made copies? ha! sue me....A day in court will find the TRUTH.

Excellent comment, Mr Campbell you're in the soup.

Which residents are happy with the Green councillors in Brunswick and Adelaide area?

I live in this area and they have done a shocking job. In fact no one I have met in my life other than the Greens themselves seem to thing they have done a good job.

In fact they have done nothing visible other than increasing parking charges.

Actually they have been working with residents on numerous issues – breaches of planning regs, illegal flyposting issues, helping to get upper floors of buildings along Western Rd improved and renovated, liaising with residents and the police over rough sleepers and dealing with the recent travellers problem on the seafront, dealing with our complaints about the state of The Lawns, advising us on new parking proposals, supporting the extension of the Cumulative Impact Area to curb excessive late night alcohol sales in this area… I could go on.

Perhaps if you joined one of the local residents’ associations you might know a bit more about what’s going on around here…

Why is there dog **** and recycling and waste all over Brunswick? It was shocking last week.
My dentist said the place is becoming neglected.

FYI - Dog**** is a naturally occurring substance that is totally biodegradable unlike toxic politicos who purport to be so by their choice of name!
The former is also unpleasantly odiferous as opposed to the latter which may best be described as putrefaction personified!

I actually am a member of a residents association and haven't noticed anything particular that the Greens have done. All I've noticed is that the cost of running a business in the area has risen due to increased parking charges and we are having to consider moving to the outskirts of Brighton. The quicker they get removed the better.
