The Friends of Brunswick Square and Terrace is a local residents society, originally set up in 1998, to protect the interests of people living in the area. It has a committee of 12 members and holds meetings 4 times a year. This website was set up to give information about FBST, and the issues effect the residents of Brunswick.
This new website will soon feature photographs, minutes of meeting and comment. Plus there will be opportunity for you, the residents, to add your voice.
The site is maintained by Richard Vahrman of Brighton Web who lives and works on the Terrace.

Communal Bins Environment Committee Feedback.
(Latest: see a pdf copy of the leaflet that has just been sent round)
For those who could not attend the Environment
Committee Meeting on Thursday - and a big
thank you to those who were able to do so. Those attending
must wonder why we ( and the Councillors themselves) have to put up with
such extended Committee proceedings on many 'Petition' matters where the
Councillors should be able to first elicit responses from the officers and then
bring them to Committee in a grouped, orderly and time saving manner. It was surprising, for
example, that all the responses to Petitions were made only by the Chair with no input by
the rest of the
Committee.

4Delivery, the contractors currently replacing sewers, have sent a letter detailing the work to be carried out in Brunswick Terrace in the very near future. The following is an extract - go to "read more" to see it in its entirety.
"The new sewer in Lansdowne Place, being constructed by our contractors 4Delivery, is nearly complete. The next phase of the works will begin soon to construct a new sewer in Brunswick Terrace and a pumping station under the pavement, next to the temporary site compound.
Because these works are so close to properties in Brunswick Terrace, building condition surveys were carried out prior to the start of the work, and the techniques used to construct the sewer have been specifically designed to minimise vibration. The effects of the work will be monitored throughout the duration of the scheme."

Resident Richard Eason has been working on a proposal for road safety improvements in the Square and Terrace as a document for discussion.
"The present road and pavement layout,
designed in the early 1800s, has got to a point where it is unacceptably unsafe
to the pedestrians that use the area. A too high priority is given to vehicle
traffic and parking, and little or no emphasis given to road safety for
pedestrians (particularly the disabled, elderly and children) and the
environment.
As an example to highlight this point; it
is believed that the gardens is the only park in Hove
to have exit gates immediately onto the road and predominately between parked
cars!
