Vote “YES” in the Neighbourhood Plan Referendum to have your say about skyscrapers near Hove Station and get community funding

PRESS RELEASE, HOVE, UK
A vital local referendum is being held on February 9th which will give Hove residents the chance to to influence the development of new buildings and infrastructure in the area, including new flats slated for three more prominent sites in the area. Polling cards have already been sent out, and locals need to vote YES to ensure their opinions are heard – and taken into account – by the developers and the council.

Vote YES to get funding for local infrastructure

Critically, by voting YES, the council will be legally required to allocate 25% of developer contributions (CIL) from these future projects, to be invested in improvements to existing local amenities – parks, pavements, roads, shopping areas etc. This will run into hundreds of thousands of pounds in the next few years.

Online petition for the council to rescind permission for TK Maxx Sunday deliveries

October 2021

Dear residents living near the Goldstone Retail Park.

As you may be aware, TK Maxx have started taking deliveries early on Sunday mornings.

For neighbouring residents, this is a major problem, affecting sleep, health and wellbeing. Deliveries involve loud, metal-on-metal sounds, amplified by the echo effects of the warehouse walls. 

Until now, Sundays have been the only day of the week, free from these deliveries. 

The council planning department have given TK Maxx the green light for Sunday deliveries without any planning application or any consultation with the local residents.

We object to this change and we will demonstrate our opposition to the council.

You can register your objection by signing the petition at:
