Yep, central govt blames local councils, who blame central govt. You still have to pay, they still get away with charging you for stuff they didn’t provide – its a scam and you get locked up if you disagree.

Great idea but just found this. “The main rock in South East England’s coastline is chalk. Chalk cannot be broken down into sand. The pebbles on Brighton’s Beach are mainly composed of flint. (Yes, the kind of flint that you can strike to make a fire). Flint’s a very useful substance in developing societies even if it doesn’t erode well into sand.” Oh well…

Brighton & Hove City Council - ePetition - The Compulsory Purchase of Anston House
Don’t hold your breath Anston House was built in1969 and been vacant for almost two thirds of its life – surely the owner should be forced to do something with it – or is he a Hove resident trying to make Brighton look a mess?

What would it take for other towns to do the same, Lewes has its history but Guy Fawkes has fans around the nation – and only a few of them realise it was a set-up job by the ruling protestants, to vilify Catholics – I mean, they hired out the rooms under parliament and then caught him just as he was about to light the powder – pull the other one.

Hove would benefit financially if they did have a marina like this. Just undercut the mooring fees and create loads of new land for free out of the sea. Why councils around the country don’t allow private business to extend the land in popular locations is beyond me.

That’s a bit of a leading way to ask a question, but I’ll do my best to answer as honestly as possible.

Yep, they lie and cheat in order to kill local businesses and then colonise town by town. this time they did it by pretending not to be a Coffee shop at all – by the time they got taken to court they had killed honest local businesses, shame on anyone who gives them money or works for them.

If you're looking for something fun to do with kids of all ages, or you're planning a romantic date or perhaps looking for something a bit different to do with mates, the only answer at this time of year is ice skating.
Hmm, in my opinion, Hove is better off with their Lagoon rather than a marina. Why? there are loads of activities and it isn’t just a huge car park for boats and a stack of empty shops nobody will rent, or visit. Laughing dog cafe and boat mooring fees are the only winners at the marina as far as I can see.
Why councils don’t see how they are judged on supplying the basics we pay for is beyond me. Get the money from somewhere else and bring our loos back for god sake. Must be horrible for pensioners scared to go out in the society they built for us.
The Citizen’s Advice Bureau also says that you can cancel the service – try doing that with council tax and you’ll go to jail.

Yeah, they “Face” prosecution for idling, but how many actually get nicked and forced to pay something back for the deaths? not sure.

nah, silly eyebrows and heaps of haters for being a woker and a toker
Very impressive voting record when it comes to morality and responsibility, no wonder she has huge support and wins awards for ethics.
She isn’t your usual MP is she, with a history of being a direction action subvert and not giving a shit about getting nicked. Go girl.
This could find anyone anywhere – but probably not the MP of the place you are now standing.
They should have an app for this. It would make it easier to tell them that they have neglected their constituants and we are watching them.
A bunch of people tried to get the council to compulsory purchase the place so they could knock it down. Its in a great place for business, but yeah, nothing happened in the last 10 years. So crap needs demolishing and a party on its grave.

Good idea – long overdue, “seeking to reduce barriers to entry” not likely to happen due to the backhanders.

Looks like they are well aware of possible dangers, but you can’t protect every from every incident I guess.
Nah, you can’t blame the Marina for daft kids showing off. Blame karma instead.

Yep, they lie and cheat in order to kill local businesses and then colonise town by town. this time they did it by pretending not to be a Coffee shop at all – by the time they got taken to court they had killed honest local businesses, shame on anyone who gives them money or works for them.
They should also be more approachable to the community. I love this idea of having police officers engage community members over coffee.
