Press Release FINAL
Hilton Metropole
Open Letter to the Hilton Metropole
Dear Ms Busfield,
In recent times we have noticed (presumed) hotel employees taking notes in St. Margarets Place. This note taking seems to be as a result of looking at the exhibition halls. Are there plans afoot that as residents we should be aware of?
If it is related to painting of the building I have a serious suggestion to make. Employ a Banksy type person to enliven what exists with a graffiti based mural across the doors and facade of the building. Rather than the dull, uncared for look of the building that exists the mural, with the use of vibrant colour, could characterise hotel personnel and others in a powerful message of how organisers, vehicle drivers and crew should behave in using St. Margarets Place. The message of the code of conduct would be displayed for all to see, not only to observe but to visually enjoy. Properly done its serious message would have impact, could be a source of publicity for you and might end up in publications and awards!
I wait to hear from you.
Regards.
John Cllinton

In light of this, we would like to invite you to the Metropole Hotel for a residents meeting at 7.30pm till 9.00pm on Monday 22nd February.
At the meeting there will be the opportunity for local residents to meet representatives from the police planning team, Metropole Hotel management and Brighton & Hove City Council.

News From Brighton » Search Results » peregrine
A petition has been launched to help stop a peregrine falcon nest box from being taken down from the tallest building in Sussex – the aptly named Sussex Heights in Brighton.
Sussex Heights has been home to a number of breeding pairs of peregrine falcons since the mid 1990s and a nest box was put there in 1998 and has been used yearly by the birds ever since.
At the time of writing 672 people have added their names to the petition, which was started one week ago in response to news that maintenance work could mean the removal of the nesting box.
The petition explains that the rare falcons are an important wildlife to have in Brighton for both educational and conservational reasons. It also warns that the falcons may be unsuccessful if they still attem
