Page 28-29 of todays argus.

Brand New
but the Developers locked out the Dustman.
No wonder it smells.

This was set up by New Labour Brighton.


Sign Of The Times.

Not only sign of the times but a sign of poor planning and management. Will this be any different in other prestige local developments ?

this months ltns promotion
is preston barracks

there is a mention of it
on every housing thread

perhaps it will solve all of brightons housing needs
in the same way that greggs
has made london road a crime free
beautiful area
with wild horses roaming rolling plains
of buttercup studded meadows

lovely to see the argus stating the "disabled bay" is being used by the "able bodied drivers". Ok the "disabled bay" was removed while building the NEQ. Hence the faded paint. It was converted to and reinforced as the Fleet Street Bus stop but as yet has not yet been repainted as fleet street has not been "re-adopted" and is not recognised by NCP. So they are in fact parking in the bus stop, not a disabled bay.

It was hyped up as some sort of urban-utopia. I mean New England Quarter FFS! Now, look at the result. Flats lacking the very basic services you'd expect and a Sainsburys. Brilliant. It's not finished yet so I assume they've still got something very special up their sleeve to enable this area to be something other than a commuter ghetto.

Its like a high-cost Ashton Rise. In fact, they stand opposite each other at just about the same height. Urban planning has really moved on hasn't it?

Next stop - Preston Barracks

It is a fact that Brighton cannot do design.

They lack people of the calibre for it. Look at that horrible Tesco building in Hove. Makes the one here in Portslade look like Florence in the Renaissance.

The NEQ is a slum waiting to happen.

Its happening already, and they haven't even finished it yet. Mind you, its a slum where you won't get a flat for less than £250,000

Maybe in 10 years from now,
but at this stage it just needs "Real" Police
working in that area.
