The Sussex Ice Rink at Sussex Square, Brighton, is under threat.

Brighton and Hove City Council's strategy since May to find a new tenant could run out of time to keep the rink open for public skating.

This is bad news for skaters and urgent action is needed. Keep Sussex Skating (KSS) has written to the council to appeal for an emergency strategy to save the venue.

Our strategy calls for an immediate rescue initiative led by the council before it loses our only remaining ice rink.

The council should send an urgent SOS to former champion Robin Cousins, a local star who himself skated at the Sussex Ice Rink.

Anyone who would like to help the KSS, please call 01273 884188.
