Elderly people were treated to a special new year lunch – thanks to generous locals.

Brighton and Hove mayor Bill Randall was the guest of honour at the event in Aldrington Place in Bellingham Crescent, Hove.

It was paid for out of more than £2,500 donated by local businesses, community groups and individuals and collected by local councillors Dawn Barnett and Tony Janio.

Coun Barnett thanked donors, adding: “These are all really worthwhile causes and we know that groups were all absolutely delighted to receive the money About £1,200 was spent on three parties at Aldrington Place, Churchill House and in the Downsman pub.

Among the other gifts were £200 to Hangleton Short Mat Bowls, £213 to rent a garage so elderly people can keep their tools and £100 to the Knoll Lunch Club.

Good old Dawn Barnett! She is surely the most effective councillor we've ever had! Anyone that lives in Hangleton will know how much better things are because of her. CCTV on Hangleton Parade that has resulted in a better place to shop- personal visits to your home on a Sunday to help with a crisis- and now this article on helping our old folk. Dawn has my vote forever!
