Alan McCarthy .... he is actually a civil engineer by profession and, one must assume, by training. He isn't as flamboyant as Panter was. Started out as as director of environmental services in 1996 during the transition having joined us from the county council (redeployed?) and became Panter's deputy with responsibility for finance, property, human resources, legal services, major projects and economic development. |

Who is the Chief Executive of Brighton Council? You don't hear much about them these days. |

When Brighton council sold Shoreham airport to this Group were they paid in cash or a mixture of cash and shares in this group I wonder?
If in part by shares the Council should dump them before they become worthless...... |

Exactly. The competence of these officers must be queried. The same applies in Planning, when officers are being asked to bring in a verdict on such things as the Marina and the King Alfred when it is evident that such scehmes - as they are currently formulated - cannot go ahead. |

This Group is bad news they don't play by the rules but then do Brighton council? |

To turn it into a housing estate? If Ropetacke could have that awful bunch of flats foisted on it, think what might happen to that green land... |
