Finally, for better or worse, the seafront has a gleaming, glistening future - not just a rusting hulk of a past.

City councillors steeled themselves to enable the funding of the i360, a vision of a world-class attraction that has existed for years only on the architects’ drawing board.

The decision to go ahead was taken by the council’s policy and

resources committee in a meeting at Hove Town Hall.

Crucially, Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, leader of the Conservative Group, made a passionate speech in support; Councillor Warren Morgan, leader of the Labour and Co-operative Group, was opposed.

Cllr Theobald said: “As a group we have looked into this issue more closely than probably any other issue that has come before the council.

“Looking at this part of the seafront, there is no doubt that it

is run down. There is very little to attract people here apart from a morbid fascination with looking at the collapsing West Pier.”

But Cllr Morgan, speaking exclusively to Brighton & Hove Independent after the meeting, was far more cautious: “If the i360 is not a success, then this council and the residents of this city will be left with an asset that has no alternative use - a tower of debt they cannot repay, for decades to come.

“Now that this has been voted through by Green and

Conservative councillors, I sincerely hope for the city’s sake that these projections for visitors and income are right.”

Councillor Jason Kitcat, leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, said: “Brighton and Hove needs to keep reinventing itself to continue our upwards trend in visitor numbers, and avoid the decline other seaside towns have suffered. This tower is our best opportunity to expand our tourist

A record number of children have been forced to go to city secondary schools that their parents rejected - refusing to put them in even in their top three preferences.

Nearly one in 20 (4.9%) applications resulted in a child being “directed” - against parental wishes - to “the nearest school with available places”.

This newspaper has established that 115 children have been “directed” to four schools - none of which figure in parental preferences: 74 to Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, at Falmer; 22 to Hove Park School; 18 to Longhill School; and one to Portslade Aldridge Community Academy.

City council officers have confirmed that 22 relate to families living in the “golden halo” catchment area for Dorothy Stringer High School and Varndean High School, where the number of secondary-school entrants outnumbered the number of places available in the two-school catchment area.

Consequently, any families that pay a premium to buy homes

in the area now risk losing out in the “admissions lottery”.

Officers were, however, unable to tell Brighton & Hove Independent in which catchment areas the other 93 “directed” children lived.

A spokesperson said: “After the random allocation process was run in February, we made a

separate note of the 22 pupils from the Dorothy

Stringer/Varndean catchment area who put down their catchment area schools but were not allocated them. “We needed

this information separately in order to

negotiate with the schools. Unfortunately, the schools were not able to accommodate these 22 children as they were full.

“We did not make a separate note of the other 93 children who were directed, as there was no similar process of negotiation to go through with them. They were simply allocated the nearest school to their home address that had places available.

“The information about the 93 children is still on our system, but as it is a rolling register it

now has a different number of children on as it shows the picture as it is now and not as it was at the time.

“Also, the late applicants that we have directed would be on the report, whereas the children who have declined their places (as some have) would not.”

The widespread disappointment has called further into question Brighton and Hove’s unique applications process, which combines random allocation of places as well as catchment areas, some of which contain two schools (Dorothy Stringer High School and Varndean School; Blatchington Mill School and Hove Park High School) and some of which contain only one (Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, Portslade Aldridge Community Academy, Patcham High School, and Longhill High School)

As a result, 1,931 applicants (82.4%) have been offered their first-preference school; 223 (9.5%) have been offered second preference; 75 (3.2%) have been offered third preference.

The rest have been told to accept what they have been offered. Or appeal. The deadline is March 31.

Record number of city parents ‘directed’ to send children to schools they never even named Greg Hadfield

The serried ranks of councillors - at the second time of asking - spent barely 30 minutes to agree a 1.99% council tax rise. A week earlier, they had chuntered on for six hours, without even a hint of harmony.

For the average council-tax-payer (Band D), the increase means an extra £2.15 or so a month.

The Conservative Group voted against any increase. Not a penny more, they said. They do not really believe in taxing citizens for the public good.

Somehere among their number, a conscience may have stirred. Perhaps.

For a Freedom of Information request has revealed a personal secret.

The request, from an anonymous citizen, was straightforward - about the number of occasions from January, 1 2013 to January, 31 2014 that reminder letters were sent councillors for non-

payment of council tax: “Could you please specify the amount of money owed for each occasion a letter was sent?

“Could you also specify the political party of the councillor involved where there are enough members of one party to avoid identification?”

And the answer?Equally straightforward:

“In that time period, there are were two reminders sent. Both sent to the same Conservative councillor - who paid £113 paid on receipt of the reminder on both occasions.”

A senior source within the Conservative Group was coy: “I don’t know who it is - and, if I did, I wouldn’t tell you.”

Let the hunt begin!

Conservative councillor forgets to pay the council tax - twice!

City College Brighton and Hove unveils its ambitious strategic plan to 2018City College Brighton and Hove revealed its strategic plan to 2018 last night (Thursday).

Some 6,000 people use one of the city’s 37 allotment sites every year

Our new allotment strategy, developed with allotment-holders, has found that some 6,000 people use one of the city’s 37 allotment sites every year.

Whether people use allotments for cheap and healthy food, exercise, or as a pastime, the benefits are clear.

For those who have some outside space, growing at home is relatively easy - whether in a vegetable bed in the garden or in a balcony box for herbs.

But many residents do not have any suitable space, meaning allotments are a popular way in which residents can grow their own food.

There are about 1,000 people on the city’s waiting list for

allotments.The allotment strategy

recommends tackling the list by offering a range of plot sizes and to make sure that under-used plots are returned to the system more quickly.

The strategy also suggests that the council help allotment-holders to reduce water wastage to save

money, and to provide additional services, such as building sheds and providing seedlings from the council’s nurseries.

A total of 30 plots are run by charities or community organisations, providing access and facilities for vulnerable people; we would like to see this expand. We also plan to introduce

a new pricing system to ensure that people on lower incomes are able to access allotments, too.

There is as always great pressure on the city’s land - whether for housing, jobs, public infrastructure, or open space.

We are particularly concerned that government legislation is creating a free-for-all for

developers and we are looking at ways in which we can protect allotments from development.

Working with Brighton and Hove Allotments Federation

has been essential to producing this new plan, which takes into account all the issues faced by allotment-holders and the council.

As a result, we will not only improve the service for current allotment-holders, but also enable many more people to enjoy the benefits of “growing their own”.

Allotment strategy aims to cutcity’s 1,000-name waiting list

It is no surprise that house prices as well as the volume of sales in Brighton and Hove continue to rise. For many years, our fortunes have been closely tied to London. We are, after all, known by many as “London by the Sea”.

The London market has been frenetic for at least a year and that trend has well and truly reached Brighton.

Homes with good transport links or close to the seafront have been in very high demand, both with Londoners and locals.

At some recent Justin Lloyd Open House days, we have had more than 20 viewings and

multiple offers over the asking price on the same day.

One positive feature of this market - for both buyers and sellers - is that deals are typically completing faster as all parties are keen to move quickly.

Buyers are more willing to compromise on minor issues arising from surveys; very few properties are now being down-valued for mortgage purposes.

With demand for property high and very few new developments coming to market, the local market looks set to remain strong for the foreseeable future.

Our city may be more egalitarian, but it’s lost a lustre that it once possessed

What used to be one of Brighton’s grandest hotels - the Royal York in Old Steine, dating from 1819 - is to be converted into a youth hostel.

Where the Duke of Wellington and Benjamin Disraeli once stayed, where Charles Dickens gave one of his celebrated readings, there will soon be backpackers.

Other leading local hotels have also recently closed, being replaced by boutique and budget establishments.

The truth is that Brighton, once the resort of kings, aristocrats and nabobs, has over the years slid down market, until now it is the resort of hen and stag parties, clubbers and pubbers, trendy media folk, and flashy pop celebrities.

Daahling, it simply is not the same, don’t you know?

Wind back a century to 1910, when the novelist Arnold Bennett stayed three months at the Royal York, having negotiated terms with “the celebrated Harry Preston of this celebrated hotel”. The very comfort and deference he enjoyed there at the same time appalled him. In his journal, he called Brighton “a symbol of a system that is built on the grinding of the faces of the poor”. The town was “full of wealthy imperative persons dashing about in furs and cars”.

As he and his wife strolled along the front on their first day, he confessed: “I am obsessed by the thought that all this comfort, luxury, ostentaion, snobbishness and correctness is founded on a vast injustice. The furs, autos, fine food, attendance and diamond rings of this hotel only impress it on me more.”

Bennett visited the Aquarium “and saw first-rate fishes living long under highly-artificial conditions. The seals and alligators seemed to be intensely

bored and sick of life.” With its incessant barrel organs and its “old Belgravia and Tyburnia” architecture, Brighton struck him as “what London was”.

He liked the January weather – “foamy sea, boisterous wind, sun, pageant of clouds. I walked with joy to and fro on this unequalled promenade. And yet, at this election time, when all wealth and all snobbery is leagued together against the poor, I could spit in the face of arrogant and unmerciful Brighton, sporting its damned Tory colours.” (On election night, he “stood out in the rain and wind” for nearly three hours, watching the results come up on a “lantern screen” in Old Steine.)

He went by motor bus to Shoreham one day; on another, he walked to Rottingdean and back; on another, he “walked twice to

Hove, and once to Black Rock, and once to the end of the pier”.

The Harley Granville-Barkers and other theatrical grandees were in town, and “I carried Mrs Granville-Barker’s hot-water bottle on the pier for her”.

And all the time he was writing “Clayhanger” furiously in his hotel room, plus any amount of political journalism, revising plays, checking proofs. His journal descriptions of Brighton storms, mists, crowds, seas and characters are vivid.

One can see why great actors and dramatists, artists and retired statesmen, dukes and magnates, used to keep residences here. When I first moved into the block where I live, a dowager duchess and a princess were among residents; something that is unimaginable today.

Now, they have all gone, leaving only here and there a fading plaque on their former homes.

Their modern equivalents do not somehow have the same aura about them. Instead of Queen Adelaide and Edward VII, Rattigan and Olivier, Herbert Spencer and Canning, Talleyrand and Thackeray, Byron and Brummell, we now have Eubank, Adele and Fatboy Slim, Truss, Andre, Cave, Coogan and Burchill.

I mean, daahling, it just is not the same.

Bennett might approve how egalitarian we have become. But I think he would also lament a certain cachet, a certain lustre, a world of elegance and grace have forever gone.

New festival to celebrate women in digital culture

Beaton in the Sixties (More Unexpurgated Diaries)Introduced by Hugo Vickers

I make no secret of the fact that I adore diaries.

Of course, they are mostly written with an eye to publication and, therefore, are not really to be trusted - especially those of politicians. But most politicians probably lead extraordinarily dull lives and have to embellish a lot.

This is most definitely not the case with Mr Beaton. (Although he is long dead, I simply dare not refer to him as Cecil; I do not think he would have approved.)

His diaries are a real treat. I usually reserve them for the days when I feel a little under the weather and can dip in and out of them - and wish that I, too, was on a private jet being whisked off to Paris, or on the

set of My Fair Lady having a row with the director about the lighting on Audrey Hepburn.

But the real treat is - apart from the name-dropping, which is glorious - is his immaculate eye for detail. His description of his brief stay with Picasso in the south of France is really exquisite:

“The light was fading on the wisteria-covered house. The grey stone was fading like opals. The wolfhound was like a grey pearl. Picasso’s teeth were like dark ivory as he smiled.”

He also goes on to meet The Rolling Stones in Marrakesh, where he describes Mick Jagger as “having chicken-breast-white skin and perfect manners”.

And his on and off so-called romance with Greta Garbo is elusive and tantalising.

Spring Forward is being launched this month to celebrate the role of women in digital culture - and to encourage more women to make their mark in what still is a male-dominated discipline.

Coinciding with Women’s History Month - a global phenomenon that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society - the new festival brings together three existing events that share female success in the digital space: Ladies That UX; She Says Brighton; and 300 Seconds (see box below).

Accommodated in 68 Middle Street - the city’s newest creative

space - Spring Forward is a collaboration between a number of individuals, including:■ Alex Goluszko, organiser of UX Brighton and 300 Seconds events, is user-experience design lead at www.webgp.com, a service that transforms access to healthcare for patients by empowering them to self-care for their minor conditions;■ Emma Smith, co-founder of Brighton’s Ladies That UX and founder of Hatch (www.thisishatch.co.uk), a consultancy that invents digital products and experiences for people with ideas;■ Viviana Doctorovich, co-founder of Brighton’s Ladies That UX and senior UX Designer at Clearleft (www.

clearleft.com ), a business that helps organisations improve their websites and create exciting new digital products.

Ms Doctorovich said: “It’s very exciting to be involved in the birth of the Spring Forward Festival. While efforts are currently being made to address the gender imbalance in the digital industry, I believe many women are still struggling to find a voice in a mainly male dominated workplace.

“We hope that in the creation of this festival we’ll be able to support women to set up events that are aimed at the specific

needs of women working in the digital domain.

Our dream is that Spring Forward will encourage them to take a more active role on shaping the future of the industry.”

Spring Forward is also supported by Jenni Lloyd, strategy director at NixonMcInnes and co-founder of 300 Seconds Brighton, and Rifa Thorpe-Tracey, senior producer at Brilliant Noise.

More than 400 pubs, bars and clubs in Brighton and Hove are open until at least 1am. And more than 70 are open 24 hours a day.

About 110 licensed premises stay open to 1am; 122 until 2am; 51 until 3am; 18 until 4am; 16 until 5am; and 13 until 6am.

The figures formed part of a city council report about late night levies and early morning restriction orders - measures intended to tackle crime, disorder and nuisance.

A levy affecting premises open until at least 1am could raise more than £4 million a year; one

affecting premises open until at least 2am could raise more than £3 million annually.

Given that financial pressures have been blamed for the Brighton taxi marshall scheme being stopped – temporarily, according to Sussex Police – the plan for levy (a local tax) had its attractions.

But the council’s licensing committee agreed to consider taking advantage of the legal powers only as a last resort.

The committee met at Hove Town Hall, currently the venue for the Sussex Beer and Cider Festival.

NOT ENOUGH TIME?

RELAX.

LET US DO THE CLEANING.

A nursing home for 58 people has been approved for a site on the edge of Brighton and Hove.The nursing home and five detached four-bedroom houses were given planning permission after an appeal by Thornton Properties, the developer.

Mike Holland, who owns Thornton Properties, applied to the city council for planning permission in October 2012.

Almost a year ago, however, the council turned down his plans for Court Farm House at the top of King George VI Avenue - also known as Snaky Hill – in Hove.

The developer appealed against the refusal and the Planning Inspectorate held a two-day hearing at Hove Town Hall in January. The council wanted the site - which covers almost two-and-a-half acres - to be developed in conjunction with the much larger neighbouring Toad’s Hole Valley site.

But Joanna Reid, the planning sector, dismissed the objections, held that the council was being unreasonable, and ordered it to pay some of Thornton Properties’ costs.

She said that the council did not have enough housing being built to meet projected needs.

If the plans go ahead, the existing buildings will be demolished, the nursing home three storeys, and the houses will have two.

Work will take place in King George VI Avenue to make the road safer by the entrance and exit to the Court Farm House site.

A Week in the City

Charity

Big names join forces to raise money for Sussex-based domestic abuse charitySome of the biggest names in the world of journalism, literature, film and TV have come together for one night only to raise money for a domestic abuse charity working in Brighton & Hove and throughout West Sussex.Those who have already promised their services include Caitlin Moran, Linda Lewis, Jackie Clune, Julie Graham, Suzanne Moore, Dominique Olliver, Vanquish, Dora Dale and Tamzin Outhwaite. The final running order and list of performers will be revealed closer to the date.Known as ‘End Of’, it is the brainchild of writer Julie Burchill, who came up with the idea when she heard that RISE was having its funding cut. She says: “Let’s have a big night out, raise some money, and tackle this issue head on. We’re not putting up with this any more. End of.”Co-founder Julie Graham comments: “My involvement with End Of came about because of a conversation I had with Julie Burchill. After hearing about too

many friends who had all recently experienced some sort of domestic abuse situation she came up with the idea putting on a charity event that would highlight an increasing problem and at the same time raise money for a great cause. “I needed little persuasion to join our wonderful band of women in putting on what we hope will be a night to remember. It’s been a privilege.”The End Of night on 29th April has been created to raise money for RISE, which each helps over 800 women and their families to recover and reclaim their lives The night promises a heady collection of literary, acting and musical talents who have all come together

to raise awareness and raise money. And a disco to follow! Gail Gray, Chief Executive Officer of RISE, commented: “We are very excited and delighted to be chosen. RISE, like many other voluntary sector organisations, faces uncertain times. The money raised at this event will help secure RISE services in Brighton & Hove and benefit the over 1,200 people we help every year.”Tickets are now on sale and cost £20 each (inc VAT) and will be sold on a first come first served basis with the best tickets on tables at the front.

Health

Mouse infestationA restaurant and bar on Brighton seafront has been fined £10,000 after it failed to tackle an infestation of mice. Ohso Social, owned by a Brighton company called Boardwalk, has been prosecuted for a second time after rodent droppings were found throughout the premises. They pleaded guilty to five food hygiene offences and the District Judge, William Ashworth, imposed a £10,000 fine with £2,514 costs awarded to the council.

Employment

Lifeguards neededBrighton and Hove City Council is currently recruiting lifeguards to work on the world famous Brighton and Hove bathing beaches during the summer season from May 19 – September 7. All applicants must pass a swim and DBS check to be considered for one of the 24 available positions.Contact Graham Buckley, Seafront Officer on (01273) 292715 [email protected]

Clubs

A century of BrowniesMore than 150 Brownies from Brighton marked the organisation’s 100th birthday with a trip to the Sea Life Centre. They were joined by about 40 volunteers as they took over the venue on Brighton seafront for three hours after it closed to the public. Highlights of their visit included a trip in a glass-bottomed boat as well as making fish from sand and sequins, drawing turtles – and eating fairy cakes.

Transport

Taxi marshallsThe taxi-marshall service at two busy ranks in Brighton, which have been suspended due to funding issues will return soon, say Sussex Police. The marshalls keep order at the ranks in East Street and West Street in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings. Chief Inspector Katy Woolford said: “Taxi marshalling plays a key part in identifying vulnerable people and preventing crime at night in the city.”

The final running order and performers will be revealed closer to the date

Housing

100% ‘Decent Homes’Council homes in Brighton and Hove have reached the 100% Decent Homes target with modern kitchens and bathrooms. In 2009 only 51% of council homes met the standard, introduced by the Government to improve the quality of social housing. Since then 1,194 new bathrooms and 2,895 new kitchens have been installed, and 4,448 energy efficient boilers have been fitted, significantly reducing residents heating bills and improving their quality of life.

Memorial

Home Secretary visitsTheresa May has visited the AIDS Memorial in Brighton’s Kemp Town. She also visited the shop run by the Sussex Beacon HIV charity and Brighton Police Station. The visit was hosted by Simon Kirby, the Conservative MP for Brighton Kemptown, and included a meeting with Katy Bourne, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex. Mr Kirby tweeted: “Home Secretary shoe shopping at the great @sussexbeacon secondhand shop in Brighton.”

Drugs

Shooting galleryBrighton and Hove’s former police chief has been filmed in a “shooting gallery” used by drug addicts in Germany. He went to find out whether the more liberal approach adopted there offered any lessons for dealing with the issue back home for the BBC South East programme Inside Out.Brighton has been long been regarded as place with a drugs problem. And drugs laws in Britain have long been regarded as an imperfect solution by many.

Event

Food and drink festival launchThe Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival held its first patrons, sponsor and media event of the year at Hotel du Vin in Ship Street, Brighton. Attended by many supporters of the festival organisation, the Spring Harvest food festival brochure and programme of events was revealed; in addition, public voting was launched for the Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Awards 2014.

Health

NHS protest

NHS staff have held a protest outside the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton over a pay cut that took effect on March 3. Hundreds of bank staff (usually used to cover sickness and vacancies) are affected by changes to their hourly rate. The Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust want to equalise pay for bank and permanent staff saving up to £1 million as a result.

All systems are go for i360

Jason Kitcat, leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, said: “This is a crucial project for revitalising our tourism industry and our seafront for years into the future. It will very clearly signal that our city is open for business - both to visitors and investors.” See pages 16 and 17

1863 April. Construction starts, engineer Eugenius Birch (1818-1884).

1940 Section of pier - closed previous year - removed to prevent enemy landing; pier mined.

1968Pier used as film location for “Oh, What a Lovely War!” directed by Richard Attenborough.

1970 Southern end of pier closed to public because lack of maintenance had made it unsafe.

1975 Entire pier closed to public for safety reasons.

1982 Pier granted Grade I listed status.

2006 Planning permission granted to build the i360, an observation tower designed by the creators of London Eye.

It will be built to last 50 years. The Eiffel Tower, councillors were told, was constructed 120 years ago - “with inferior technology”.After detailed designs are expedited, work will start in June. It could, however, be a year or more before there is much to see or admire - after vast loads of steel are brought by barge from Rotterdam to land on Brighton beach.

By the time the i360 begins to soar, the site will already be a tourist attraction.

Indeed, the developers - drawing on their experience at the London Eye - expect

the “lookers” always to at least equal the “bookers”, even after the tower opens in June 2016. Up to five million sightseers a year are expected to walk along a short stretch of the seafront.

Tickets are expected to cost £14 for an adult (£7 for a child), compared with £19.20 (£12.30) for the London Eye and £12.95 (£9.95) for Blackpool Tower Eye.

Expected advantages to the city and its economy are many - although not all of them are immediately obvious. It is estimated the i360 will attract 700,000 to 750,000 visitors in a “stable” year - including an increase of new visitors to the city of between 165,000 and 305,000, representing a 2% to 3.6% increase in visitor numbers.

Activity will be generated all year round, developers say, providing new impetus and support for retail, catering, and hotels; an estimated 27,000 to 49,000 additional overnight visitors will be attracted to the city.

Crucially, overnight visitors are reported to spend eight times more than day visitors; it is estimated this new additional spending will, by itself, create 52 new jobs. The number of conference visitors is also expected to increase. Less obvious are the community benefits: a

percentage of ticket revenue will go to the city council - in perpetuity - to be used for community benefit; there will be discounts for local residents (except in peak season), plus free entry for state schools in Brighton and Hove to ensure that every child can visit once during their school career; there will be an allocation of free tickets for local charities and community groups; in addition, a percentage of revenues to West Pier Trust for heritage works.

But what if the weather is awful? What if the economic climate is worse? The i360 – and council-taxpayers’ money – will survive the storm, provided vistor estimates are only half right - if visitor numbers were 55% less than anticipated.

Factfile: The numbers that developers are banking on for the i360 to be a financial success

■ Coast to Capital (Local Enterprise Partnership) £4m (9%)

■ Marks Barfield £6m (13%)

■ City Council £36.2m (78%)

Total: £46.2m (100%)

That wretched man, Glynn Jones, is at it again (page 5, February 28).

Apparently, he is now a leading expert on major seafront attractions and wants to convince us that the Marks Barking white elephant is going to be a roaring success and the answer to all the city’s problems.

He tells us how fortunate we are that the West Pier Trust and the city council have more to go on than what goes on in my head. Glynn, I hope you are right, old chap - because I have just worked out in my head that you, the trust and this poor excuse for a council need some serious mentoring in common sense and basic business studies.

For the avoidance of doubt, Glynn, this crackpot scheme has not got a cat in hell’s chance of repaying a loan of £36m, plus interest, over 25 years.

To make matters worse, it seems the majority of Tories are also backing this ridiculous pie-in-the-sky nonsense.

Why anyone with any common sense whatsoever would think this kind of gamble is a safe way of handling £36 million of borrowed money is incredible. It’s like dealing with a load of toddlers who see no reason why they should not have an expensive toy their parents

simply cannot afford.Well, let us have some answers

please, toddlers: so that we the people of Brighton and Hove, who are actually making this loan, can take a measured view of the situation.

Glynn, you seem to like to stamp your feet and hold forth. So please tell us:

1 How many visitors are you expecting at peak times, such as weekends, school holidays and bank holidays?2 How many hours a day and how many visitors an hour? How many in off-peak times - which is the rest of the time? 3 How many days will you not open at all when it is wet and windy - as it has been for the past two months?4 How much are your running costs for the 154 employees?5 What are your insurance rates, 106 agreement costs, maintenance costs, and - very importantly - advertising costs?6 What is the repayment each year, including the interest? What are the set-up costs for this loan? What security is being taken over this loan?7 Does Marks Barfield have tangible assets that can be seized if this all goes wrong - which it undoubtedly will?8 How much do you expect to charge per person?

Provide us with all that information, Glynn, and I have a feeling we will be telling you: “Don’t call us, we will call you”.

I can tell you what the likely scenario is, Glynn, if this lunatic scheme is allowed to go ahead and it will unfold something like this.

We borrow the money and hand it over to a couple of people who deliver a tower for us with a grand opening in perhaps 2017, with losses in the first year.

We will then see it stagger on with mounting losses as people lose interest ,having been up there to see the sea once before whoever is running it pulls the plug and we the people of Brighton end up subsidising something that we do not want.

By this time, we will have not received a penny in interest and it now stands us in at £60 to £70 million. Then, we will be plodding through 2021 with a massive debt hanging around our necks and all councillors of the day will be blaming it on the long-forgotten Greens and many of the crusty current Tories.

Labour, which no doubt will be in power at the time, will be telling all and sundry “We told you so” - and it will be sold off for a pittance to one of the major players, like Merlin, who actually run attractions properly.

They go on to make a roaring success of it - because it will have been purchased for nothing. And we the people of the city will be saddled with a load of unnecessary debt.

You will certainly be remembered, Glynn. But not for anything useful.

The crucial questions West Pier Trust must answer about this white elephant

industry and regenerate our seafront.”

At yesterday’s meeting, councillors voted to take out a £36.2m government loan - from the Public Works Loan Board - that it will then lend, at a

premium, to the developers: a new company called Brighton i360 Ltd.

Coast to Capital LEP - a partnership between public authorities that is a private company promoting economic growth, will provide £4 million, while Marks Barfield Architects, the firm behind the

London Eye, (see below) will provide £6 million.

BusinessFuseBox24: Wired Sussex offers practical support for city’s smartest start-ups

Wired Sussex has announced a 24-week programme to support innovators and entrepreneurs.

The FuseBox24 programme, which will begin on April 28, is aimed at inidivudals and teams committed to turning early-stage business ideas into creative and digital start-ups.

Based in The FuseBox - the new learning-cum-work space in New England House - it promises round-the-clock access to the facilities as well as support from leaders and other practitioners in the arts, technology and business worlds.

Organisers promise that successful applicants will gain the confidence, courage and connections to help them develop and establish their start-up businesses.

Programme activities - roughly

two days a week - will include knowledge-sharing workshops, coaching and mentoring. This is combined with time for innovators to use the facilities and space at The FuseBox to develop their business ideas.

Phil Jones, managing director of Wired Sussex and programme curator for FuseBox24, said: “FuseBox24 is a new way of providing support to innovators and start-ups which we believe will lead to the creation of better businesses.

“It draws on the fantastic industry expertise and contacts that Wired Sussex has built up over the years and merges that with a collaborative approach to developing ideas that really speaks to the heart of the ethos of this city.”

The cost of the programme is £960 - equivalent to £40 a week. Organisers say the money is a contribution towards tea and coffee, electricity, Wi-fi, speaker

expenses and other costs. The FuseBox has itself

secured funding from the European Union’s Recreate programme and is also supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, enabling it to fund a researcher-in-residence, who is designing, delivering and evaluating the programme.

For more information - and to submit an application - visit: www.fusebox24.co.uk.

New managing director arrives at Juice 107.2Tracy Skinner has joined Juice 107.2 as managing director, the only dedicated commercial radio station serving Brighton and Hove.

What’s it all about?Directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, Dallas Buyers Club is based on a true story and stars Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof,

a hustling drug addict who’s diagnosed with AIDS in 1985 Dallas and told he only has weeks to live. Refusing to accept

his fate, Ron gets hold of some government-approved AZT, but it proves ineffectual and actually makes him feel worse, so he heads down to Mexico and discovers a stash of helpful medication that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refuses to approve.Infuriated by the government’s

apparent inaction on the new medication, Ron begins importing the drugs himself and distributing them to those

in need, forming a member’s club (the titular Dallas Buyers Club) in order to get around the law, with members paying for membership, rather than the drugs themselves.

The GoodSince 2011’s The Lincoln Lawyer, Matthew McConaughey has been on an extraordinary winning streak, knocking it out of the park time and again with wonderful performance after wonderful performance; needless to say, he’s on typically brilliant form here as Woodroof. To be fair, it is all the more impressive as Woodroof is a complex and not altogether likeable character, yet you can’t fail to respond to his tenacity, his uncrushable spirit and his capacity for self-reinvention.

The GreatThe script is superb, provoking genuine anger at the government situation of the time (for further detail, see the excellent AIDS fight documentary How To Survive A Plague) and telling a truly inspirational story while never resorting to sickly sentimentality. Similarly, Vallee gets the tone of the film exactly right throughout, aided by Yves Bélanger’s sun-

baked cinematography and some impressively detailed 1980s production design work.

Worth seeing?Dallas Buyers Club is a powerfully emotional, brilliantly acted and deservedly Oscar nominated drama that tells the gripping story of one of the true heroes of the fight against AIDS. Highly recommended.

Student days. You either loved them or hated them. Personally, mine were a glorious combination of gin-splattered nights in Soho - often culminating in struggling to find the N9 toward Ealing, questionable kebab in hand. And some occasional studying.

I visited only once the students’ union bar at my former university. Call me a snob, but a television playing mid-Noughties dance videos, a broken pool table, and awful re-heated food was not my ideal of a great night out. Perhaps it was because I was a little older, a little wiser and a little spoilt - coming from Brighton, a city glittered with great watering holes.

Fast forward eight years and we are now in a position where students’ unions are taking over pubs in town centres. No more starting the night on campus; no more rammed journeys on the 25

bus into town as the whole bar heads toward whichever club has the cheapest drinks. You can now start the evening bang in the centre of town and get some ideal stomach-lining grub while you are at it.

A Drink Inn Brighton venue, The Globe has been around for as long as I can remember. It is a wonderful pub, with a large downstairs that often doubles up as a cinema, live DJ sets, and private-hire space. At the start of the year, the pub became part of the University of Sussex Students Union and had a complete menu overhaul to reflect the change in clientele.

The kitchen is now run by “T’s Grill and Smokehouse” and, with a name like that, the menu is unsurprisingly very meat-oriented. Expect 10-hour smoked pulled pork, smoked chicken, hot wings, cheese fries with beef brisket chilli, barbecue space ribs and burgers made from rump steak mince and topped with a huge variety of homemade marinades and American cheese.

Like many Brighton pubs nowadays, burgers are a dominant force on the menu. The bun and pattie outlook clearly reels in the punters and this particular food trend shows no signs of slowing down. With this in mind, I ordered “The Texan”, a half-pound pattie made from rump steak, served in a lightly-toasted brioche bun with smoked pulled pork, lettuce and homemade barbecue sauce. To put it lightly, I barely touch my side of fries. This burger was an absolute beast.

Topped with a pickle, the toasted brioche held the burger together well. The pulled pork was a delight and melted in the mouth. I would, however, have loved the pattie to

be cooked to medium and not well done; I felt this took away from of the flavour from the rump steak mince; and some cheese would have finished off the super-large burger nicely.

The Globe menu is ideal boozing grub. Large portions, packed full of meat and goes nicely with a cold pint.

Whether you are a student or not, it is worth checking out the meat from T’s Grill and Smokehouse, especially if you are looking for a pub in town with a lively, loud atmosphere and drinks deals over a weekend.

Grape of the Week

This delicious variety is one of the wine world’s real success stories.

About 20 years ago this variety was on the endangered list and could be found growing only in small quantities in the Condrieu region in northern France.

Since then, however, it has enjoyed a renaissance and can now be found in most of the major wine-producing centres of the world.

The grape is responsible for some of the most complex and perfumed whites currently on the market - because, with its high levels of sugar, it lends itself to a late harvest. Which gives amazing flavours of earthy fig, honeysuckle and ripe peach, with musky overtones and a gently yet refreshing acidity. This in turn, has led to its adoption by many of the New World wine-producing nations with South African, Chilean and even Argentinian varieties readily available in most good shops.

It goes fantastically with seafood such as mussels and prawns; but strong-tasting fish, such as mackerel, should be avoided. It also marries well with spice, including Thai and Indian.

The girl from Sweden fixed her menacing gaze on our guide as we stopped for a break on the narrow hilly path. “You said no more up,” she complained.

Thailand’s northern region is characterised by mountainous peaks and dense jungle that cascade down on a myriad rivers; more “up” is unavoidable - and an essential ingredient in jungle-trekking through this enduring landscape.

As she breathed heavily and looked imploringly around her, I could not help thinking that my Swedish trekking companion had somehow misunderstood the nature of the adventure that she had signed up for.

Admittedly, it had not been a walk in the park. We had set off from Thailand’s Rose of the North, the city of Chang Mai - where so many guided jungle tours begin - and driven by a 4x4 truck for about 90 minutes to the foot of the mountains and the Mae Taeng Valley.

Beneath the blazing sunshine, we beat a path on a four-day excursion that would take us through beautiful scenery, ride through the jungle on elephant back, and raft down the river

before returning to the city. The terrain was not terribly taxing, but we did have to walk uphill. Rather a lot.

The Mae Tung Valley is set between the Chiang Do Nature Preserve and Huai Nam Dang National Park. Here, hill communities welcome trekkers to rest their weary legs or even spend a night in their hospitality as part of a guided tour. The views are lush, the hills are verdant, and the Mae Taeng River that begins life high in the mountains close to the border with Myanmar (Burma) serenely pours - and sometimes dramatically crashes - through valleys and rocky canyons, eventually joining the Chao Praya on its way to the Gulf of Thailand. The path happens to be a well-trodden one on the list of Thai travel itineraries. But that makes it no less memorable or worthwhile. For the active traveller, the northern hills and jungles of Thailand provide wonderful opportunities for hiking and other energetic pursuits.

Thailand’s highest point, the Doi Inthanon National Park, is an unearthly forest shrouded in cloud and is another classic tour from Chiang Mai, which features high-altitude villages, temples and cascading waterfalls.

Around the city itself, guided

treks take in the hills that surround Chiang Mai - including a hike to the Buddha’s Footprints rocks on the Doi Pa Ridge. White-water rafting and kayaking also serve up magical experiences in this part of the country and are often included in multi-day hikes to the hills.

As our group paused midway through another ascent in our jungle tour to take in the view and learn more of the area from our guide, I cast a glance at the girl from Sweden, who still bitterly cursed the climb.

“You said no more up,” she repeated, with more urgency this time.

Our guide looked around him, raised his arms to the mountains and shrugged his shoulders. We walked on, through the dusty trail and the jungle that fountained around us.

Readers’ letters are always appreciated and I am delighted to have received a recommendation for a local brand discovered at a farmers’ market in Ralli Hall, Hove, a decade ago.

Thanks to Elaine Evans, I will soon be in touch with Esther Cohen, founder and managing director, of “I am natural”, to

sample her acclaimed Avocado Balancing Face Cream.

It is always great to hear customers who write in saying they would “never use anything else”. At £8.95 for 55ml, this sounds like great value for money. I want to try it.

Later this month, I will also be looking into Raw Gaia, another

exciting local producer. It has the world’s first full range of living, organic and vegan skincare products.

Plants and flower essences and oils are fully potent in their raw, unaltered state - and the skin-beneficial molecules include plant acids, enzymes, anti-oxidants and flavonoids (powerful helpers known to heal, nourish and protect).

All the components at Raw

Gaia are carefully handled at low temperatures so they retain all their vitality. The products are handmade at the workshop in Brighton. I have been seduced by the poetic sound of “wildcrafted myrrh essential oil”, which is well-known for cooling and healing properties. It features among several cold-pressed organic oils in the hero range called MSM Beauty.

At Infinity Foods, I spotted a promotion for a new pure organic drink brand in a window display for Fair Trade Fortnight. Coco Zumi coconut water is sourced from a single source within an agroforestry environment. It is organic, fair trade, and 100% pure, with a light and refreshing

taste (and no bits, in case you are wondering). Coco Zumi contains a high level of electrolytes, such as potassium and magnesium, which are very hydrating; it helps with blood pressure and muscle function. It is ideal as a post-exercise treat or just carry a carton around to help your skin cells stay plumped up and fresh at any time.

As a diehard fan of facial oil, I have just tried the Barefoot SOS Repair and Renew Intensive Treatment Oil, with Rosa Mosqueta and a host of other healing plant oils. Even if you have been through the wringer all week, you will wake up to peachiness with this on overnight - £28 for 25ml: a unisex treat that really works wonders.

TravelWalking down East Street in Brighton, there is a fantastic choice of shops to suit every style, occasion and budget.

Jigsaw remains a brand that is as quintessentially British as the day the first store opened in 1972. It has a strong identity inspired by country living, quirkiness, irreverence and humour.

This season’s collection is inspired by our British seaside. Denim is always on trend, but in Jigsaw look for the indigo denim in shell-tops and skirts, collarless raw-edge bombers and even a denim-look butter- soft leather jacket.

Pretty pastel has been given a twist in candyfloss pink or aqua blue. Knitwear, always Jigsaw’s heartland, is fine gauge in twin-set-style cardigans and sweaters and looks delicate with the rolled-cuff chino or a sunray- pleat skirt in semi-sheer. They are beautifully embroidered and fabulously fluid. These hues continue onto metallic tweeds shot with pastel thread in cute pegged skirts with matching “box” top.

■ Jigsaw is showing on the catwalk at the Brighton Thistle Fashion Show on Saturday, April 12, from 2pm-4pm. It is a free event celebrating Brighton’s fabulous shops.

A bad night’s sleep adds to aches and pains

HealthSleep yourself healthy - and do not feel guilty about having a lie-in

After all the rain, wind and cold weather, we have landed safely in the month of March. To mark Sleep Awareness Week (March 2-9), I will discuss the importance of sleep from an osteopathic point of view - which will give you the best possible excuse to have a lie-in this weekend.

We know such a bustling, active city as ours needs its rest and beauty sleep!

We have all had our fair share of bad night’s sleeps and I am sure most will agree with me in saying that, after a sleep-deprived or disturbed night, you feel significantly more stiff, achy, grumpy, and likely to suffer from headaches the next day. But what is it that makes us so achy after a bad night’s sleep?

Many studies have been conducted on the effects of a disturbed sleep and the ensuing discomfort that occurs; all of them demonstrate an increase in pain sensitivity. Our bodies have the ability to release our own natural “painkillers” (endogenous opioids), which rely on an undisturbed sleep structure to work.

So when we have a bad night’s sleep, not only do these “natural painkillers” lose their effectiveness, but also their production is compromised. As well as disrupting the action of our natural painkillers, sleep deprivation also affects pharmacological painkillers.

Who knew that something as common as sleep deprivation would have such a strong effect on our body’s analgesic (pain-

relieving) processes? Those suffering from

chronic illnesses (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and so on), tend to have less sleep as a result of being in pain.

There has been a lot of dispute as to which comes first: increased pain or sleep deprivation. The truth is both factors affect each other and create a vicious cycle - unless one or both are tackled.

My advice to those struggling to fall asleep is to partake in some physical activity that gets your heart rate up for approximately one hour a day; by the end of the day, you will be left feeling stretched out, relaxed and ultimately exhausted.

We can help to remedy this at BeauPilates through our Dynamic classes. And if you need any advice or further explanation of any of the above, then please see me for an osteopathic consultation.

Do not underestimate the power of sleep,: between six and nine hours is ideal for our bodies. You can never feel guilty for having a lie-in again!

Motoring

This is the facelifted version of the French firm’s five-year old crossover that they claim manages to combine MPV practicality with SUV desirability.

Based on the old 308, time hasn’t been too kind to its bigger brother, but a timely facelift has freshened up the exterior. Taking design cues from the new family look that can be seen on the impressive new 308, the Peugeot 3008 gets a bold front grille with LED-edged headlights that sweep along the front arches.

At the back there’s a tidier treatment to the tail lights, with new clusters, a dark red tint and some on-trend LEDs.

The net result is a car that looks decidedly modern, even when placed alongside rivals such as the sparkling new Nissan Qashqai.

Inside sees a step up in equipment levels, with the Allure spec model I was driving coming fitted with a reversing camera and parking sensors, sat nav, tyre pressure monitor, a colour heads-up display, climate control, panoramic roof and cruise control.

Even the entry-level Access

model comes fitted with Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and an automatic electronic handbrake with hill assist.

Under the bonnet of the test car

is Peugeot’s well-proven 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel engine. This produces a reasonable 114bhp and 200lb-ft of torque, which translates to a 0-60mph time of 13.6 seconds.

While it sounds a rather steady pace, the six-speed manual gearbox allows you to keep the

car in its wide torque band, making it feel far sprightlier than the numbers suggest.

Once you get to a corner it

presents very little in the way of body roll, with good steering feel and visibility making it easy to place on the road. That surefooted ability comes at the cost of slightly stiffer suspension than you might expect but it’s never too firm.

With CO2 emissions of 127g/km from the 1.6 HDi engine, the company car tax rate is 21% for 2014/15, against the similarly powered 1.5 dCi Qashqai’s 15%. With just a £500 price difference between similarly specced models, that might be consideration.

However, put that to one side and the Peugeot 3008 ends up being a stylish, sophisticated and spacious MPV. It wouldn’t take much to justify owning one.

As a first-time mother who has recently returned to work, I like to think that I have blended seamlessly back into the ranks of commuters lining Brighton

station in the morning.But I think you could still spot

me, if you try. I am the one looking oddly

pleased with my cappuccino,

because it is hot; the one who manages to slip in front of you without you realising quite how I have done it - because I have to do the same to my son when I leave in the morning.

On the return journey, I will be the one flattening my palm on my chest looking like I am doing a breast examination (which I sort of am) - and possibly looking like I am wearing an ill-fitting bra, which I was not this morning, but I am now. I am the one looking tired but nose-deep in a book - because this is the

only chance I get to read and I am trying to convince myself that commuting is a positive part of my day.

I am probably also the one looking intently at my phone - only, unlike you, I am not checking work emails, squeezing an extra half hour of productivity out of my day; I’m looking at photos of my son, squeezing an extra half-ounce of guilt out of my day.

When the train pulls in to the station, I am the one with the funny walk - which looks as if I am about to wet myself but

which gets me home a whole two minutes quicker.

And if you are still not sure which one is me, I am the lady with a shiny trail of snot on my shoulder.

And yes, it’s been there all day. And no, no one thought to tell me.

JOHNNY CANTOR @johnnycburger

Straight from the commentary box

I think anyone could be forgiven for switching away from the England game against Denmark on Wednesday. Uneventful. Drab. Dull. Just some of the descriptions given to me by those that braved the ITV coverage. For what it’s worth, I say give Lallana the nod and go for Shaw rather than Cole. Abandon Milner and Lampard. Promote Stirling and Barkley.

I lasted a good 35 minutes in front of the box but couldn’t

help flicking around to other friendlies on the night. It was great to see another 90 minutes of international football for Albion captain Gordon Greer. Another win, another clean sheet. He may be in his thirties but deserves all the accolades.

Meanwhile Stephen Ward continued his reintegration into the Republic of Ireland squad with customary application (watched on by his sharp-suited teammate Keith Andrews in the pundits chair).

However, the best news of the evening was an England Under-19 debut for the Albion keeper Christian Walton. The promising talent that moved along the south coast to Sussex from Plymouth could become an integral part of the Seagulls future.

From the information we have, all three frontline keepers are out of contract at the end of the season and Walton offers another chance

to promote youth and save cash. Such are the realities of life in the Championship. It also may pave the way for an Albion player to go all the way and feature in the National first

team squad one day. For that to happen Albion would need to be in the Premier League but the Seagulls are knocking on the door before the teenager has even hit his twenties.

The success or failure of this year’s campaign won’t be decided in the next 4 days but will give a huge indication as to whether they can make the top 6. Enjoy and let’s hope the youngsters get a chance to deliver at international and club level from now until July.

Follow all the action, home or away, on BBC Sussex Sport or via Twitter @BBCSussexsport | @johnnycburger | @BrightonIndy.

Christian Walton came on as a second half sub for England Under-19s this week

NORTH STAND CULT HERO #33: Steve SidwellSteve Sidwell may have only played a dozen league games for the Albion, but the midfielder made a significant impression during his time. His five goals included a memorable double to rescue a point against Burnley at Withdean. Sidwell scored in the 88th and 89th minute to secure an unlikely point. A talented youngster, Sidwell went on to play for Reading, Chelsea and Aston Villa. He is currently at Fulham.

Sport

Walton has yet to feature for the first team but with Casper Ankergren, Peter Brezovan and Tomasz Kuszczak all nearing the end of their Albion contracts, an elevation to Oscar Garcia’s main squad next season is not beyond the realms of possibility.

The teenager was not the only Brighton player on international duty this week.

Club captain Gordon Greer – this week’s Brighton & Hove Independent Albion Action Man – played the full 90 minutes of

Scotland’s 1-0 win in Poland. It was the 33-year-old’s third full cap and his country is yet to concede a goal while he has been on the pitch.

Elsewhere Stephen Ward managed just north of an hour of Ireland’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Serbia, while Vitalijs Maksimenko was an unused sub for Lativa.

Recent loan arrival Jesse Lingard was in the England Under-21 squad but did not manage to get on the pitch.

England under-19 international, Hannah Blundell and Albion women’s defender Cally Beaumont, promoted the upcoming World Cup qualifier v Montenegro at an Albion in the Community (AITC) development centre in Blatchington Mill School, Hove.

The girls’ development centre, which opened last summer, is part of a wider girls football programme run by Albion in the community aimed at increasing

female participation in the game across Sussex. The centre runs weekly sessions for girls between the ages of 6 and 14.

Cally and Hannah took part in a brief question and answer session with the young footballers, before taking part themselves in a small-sided match.

Hannah believes the evening was a great success and was pleased to see so many young girls playing football.

She said: “It’s good to see so many young girl footballers nowadays compared to how it was when I started playing.

“At my age, I never got anyone down to coach us, so the event taking place tonight is brilliant.”

“My advice to these girls would be to practice as much as you can. I admit I was a terrible footballer, but practise as much as you can and you’ll get better.

“It just shows how much women’s football has grown.”

Albion’s Stephen Ward once again appeared in the Republic of Ireland squad

Seagulls stopper Christian Walton made his debut for England Under-19s this week during a 3-0 win over Turkey which stretched the team’s unbeaten run to 15 games.

The 18-year-old goalkeeper was introduced as a 76th minute substitute for Chelsea prospect Mitchell Beeney and successfully saw out the remainder of the match to help secure a clean sheet.

Walton signed for the Albion for an undisclosed fee from Plymouth Argyle having earlier joined the The Pilgrims as a ten year old.

His capture was considered quite a coup for the Albion, who managed to fight off interest from a host of rival clubs, including Premier League Fulham.

Since then Walton has impressed for the club’s development squad and earlier this year his progress was rewarded with a call-up to an FA training camp for the country’s most highly-rated young goalkeepers.

Christian Walton could become an integral part of the Seagulls future”

Gordon Greer remains a key figure in the Albion’s defence alongside Matthew Upson as he approaches 150 league appearances for the club since his move from Swindon Town. Greer has also broken into the Scotland squad after impressing his national boss with a string of consistent performances for the Albion. A popular member of the squad, Greer remains one of Oscar Garcia’s first names on his teamsheet.

Oscar Garcia faces an anxious wait to see whether midfield maestro Rohan Ince will be fit enough to play against Reading tomorrow (Saturday).

Brighton have lost just three of the 21 league games in which Ince has featured and, despite claiming all three points last weekend at Millwall, the Seagulls missed the young midfield’s imposing and combative approach.

Ince had still not returned to training earlier this week, increasing the likelihood the impressive 21-year-old will be absent come kick-off time.

Oscar may also be forced to do without Andrea Orlandi who is undergoing treatment for a thigh injury. Orlandi, who led the Seagulls in terms of assists last campaign, had shown recent signs of a return to his string-pulling best but his latest knock is yet another blow to a player who has suffered a stop start season so far.

Keith Andrews will deputise for Ince if the former Chelsea prospect fails to recover in time, while Jake Forster-Caskey will be hopeful of getting a 13th Championship start this season if Orlandi misses out. Dale Stephens, who arrived in January from Charlton Athetic, should continue in the Albion’s midfield three although another

option available to Oscar is to move the improving David Lopez infield from his usual right flank role.

One plus point for the Seagulls is the news Will Buckley is available for selection after suffering a slight hamstring problem last weekend. Buckley, so often a key player under previous boss Gus Poyet, has failed to fully ignite under Oscar – hamstrung again by a serious of injuries. The wide player has been restricted to 13 league starts and 8 substitute appearances – chalking up just one league goal and two assists in the process.

Jesse Lingard should feature on the left side of the Albion’s forward three after an encouraging debut against Millwall. The Manchester

United youngster won the Seagulls’ match-winning penalty and displayed a willingness to work back and roam from the left flank to link up with the recently too-often isolated Leo Ulloa.

Ulloa will again be Brighton’s chief goal threat, having notched five goals in the last six games. However, the centre forward has yet to fully recapture his talismanic form of last season – perhaps explaining his absence from the division’s Player of the Month shortlist despite his healthy goal return.

Brighton sit two points behind their visitors with a game in hand and a win could see the Seagulls climb as high as sixth depending on other results.

We have had to battle, we have had to show why we have got one of the best defences in the league, on a difficult pitch against a side fighting for points.

“It wasn’t pretty but the three points is what it was all about today.

“It was a massive contrast to the game last week where we were fluid, created chances and played well against a really good side.

“But when you are a club like Brighton and Hove Albion the pressure is always there to win and we look to win every game.

“There is no added pressure on the players though I don’t think as they know what they have to do, what our goal is, what we are trying to achieve and we have to keep fighting for it.”
