At this time of the year many organisations like to thank their staff for the work they have done during the year.

As a residents’ association in Brighton we would like to thank Brighton and Hove City Council and staff for the work they have done, particularly in relation to Brighton’s physical environment.

Consulting and getting agreement from residents on making changes is not always an easy task, but the continuing developments at the New England Quarter and wider Brighton Station Area, the Lewes Road and Gyratory, The Level, Seven Dials, the developments at the seafront, the developments at London Road with the new Open Market and improvements at London Road Station are a positive testimony of what can be achieved.
