Comments on: The Old Market: A Tangle of Conflicting Loyalties and Remits http://www.regencymagazine.co.uk/2009/12/the-old-market-a-tangle-of-conflicting-loyalties-and-remits/ The Community Magazine For The Heart Of Our City Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:53:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ben carias http://www.regencymagazine.co.uk/2009/12/the-old-market-a-tangle-of-conflicting-loyalties-and-remits/comment-page-1/#comment-941 ben carias Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:44:03 +0000 http://www.regencymagazine.co.uk/?p=350#comment-941 This is incredible. This building was only restored a few years ago, how it god's name can anyone consider it worthy of what looks like an 80's style, out of kilter extension on the top. This is one of the few small areas of Brighton that, apart from the cars, could almost be identical to how it was originally intended. I thought in my naivette that that such a wonderfully restored building was safe from this kind of idiocy. This is incredible.

On The Old Market website, you’ll see that it details nine letters of support for the design proposal in September. Cross-reference the names to the Regency Society’s web site and this is what you get: Nigel Robinson – current Chairman of the Regency Society Audrey Simpson – current Deputy Chairman of the Regency Society Prof Gavin Henderson – past Chairman of the Regency Society and current Vice President John Wells-Thorpe – past Chairman of the Regency Society and current Vice President Delia Forrester – Executive Committee member of thee Regency Society (though listed as Forester with one r on the Regency Society’s web site) The Old Market’s web site shows that Michael Ray is one of its three trustees – he’s a past Chairman of the Regency Society. And Stephen Neiman, who is a trustee of The Old Market, is also Honorary Treasurer of the Regency Society. It would appear that these people have acted to undermine their own society's public position on the development. As far as can be seen, no representatives of any other society has publicly backed the proposed development. The Regency Society is officially against The Old Market development but…

You have said it all. We have been fighting this for some years now and despite our efforts have failed to get the message out to the general public. Your item on The Old Market hopefully will let the whole of Brighton & Hove known exactly what is 'going on' Thanks Bill Cowell East East Brunswick Residents' Association p.s. may we carry a link to your item on our web pages?
