That is superb and very quickly will be come an icon of Brighton.

I like the wheel, I think it suits Brighton a lot better, my only gripe with it is it is near an 80m building which may block views, it should have been taller. At least Portsmouth does not lose it's tallest observation tower status.

Worthing Borough Council has given the go ahead for Hanson Capital Management’s £150m Worthing Gateway, the first major town centre commercial scheme in the region for over 20 years


The Worthing Gateway plans, designed by Russ Drage Architects, comprise a 9 screen multiplex Cinema, under offer to Vue, with a capacity of 1,300 seats; 260 new homes; an 88-bedroom high quality hotel; new restaurants and coffee shops; a new Sainsbury’s supermarket with a sales area of 50,000 sq ft; a new conference and exhibition centre that will host a wide range of events, from conferences and exhibitions to arts, private functions and community events; a health and fitness centre;a office suites/business space and extensive landscaped public spaces.

In addition there will be car parking for 967 cars, together with disabled, parent/child, cycle and motorcycle parking, in two parking areas : a below ground car park of about 400 spaces and decked car parking with about 560 spaces.

The scheme is designed to enhanced pedestrian circulation connecting the town centre with the station.

John Desmond, managing director of Hanson Capital Management said: “This is great news for Worthing’s future prosperity. We have had very strong support from residents who want to get the project moving so that the long-term Teville Gate eyesore can be finally cleared away and a new start made on this key town centre site.

“The supermarket and cinema are already under offer and discussions are progressing with occupiers for the Hotel and Conference and Exhibition Centre. Discussions are also taking place with national and regional restaurant groups.”

Construction work is scheduled to start in mid 2012 with the completion of the project by Christmas 2014. Blue Sky Planning are planning consultants. HNG and Savills are joint letting agents.

Officials at Brighton and Hove City Council have given temporary planning permission for the wheel to stay in place until May 2016.

Thorne´s is a new gourmet shop in Brighton Lanes. Very well use and recovery of the old building.

I was walking around the North Lanes today, and there were quite a few derelict sites around, and abandoned looking 60s buildings. Any reason these are/were not developed over the past 10 years? Prime land near the station and lanes which would have massive appeal.

Also one thing I noticed about Brighton is how crap the street furniture and paving is except for the area near Jubilee library. Any plans on doing it up?

I do love Brighton though despite these minor issues.

I have always considered that to be Brighton's downfall, lack of maintenance and crappy public realm, It really is obvious when you are there that the council has very little interest in doing something about it.
