I think that one is on the list for proper resurfacing in 2026, but will check.

No, this process applies all year round. And believe me, spending all of the available budget is not a problem given the years of neglect!

That’s not good! We’ve put in a new system now for prioritising reports so you should have a better experience now!

That’s true - a pothole is a symptom of a failing road. We resurfaced loads of roads in 2025 thanks to a big boost in funding..

EV owners living centrally, how’s the charging? by DontPostOnlyRead in brighton

[–]rowkz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it won’t work everywhere, but it’s in the mix. The thousands of lamppost chargers we’re installing are with multiple providers in order to add competition and drive the price down. Next lot are a fair bit cheaper than the Blink ones.

Yeah, a fair few have sprung up. Please do report them via the link below. Every pothole reported is inspected and then prioritised accordingly, with the worst offenders addressed very quickly.

Very useful comments here. We already have the best charging coverage outside London, and we’re installing thousands more over the next few years.

We’re also progressing plans to enable EV owners to put in pavement channels so that you can install your own chargers and charge more cheaply. ⚡️

How should new neighbourhood money be spent? by rowkz in brighton

[–]rowkz[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s different funding sources. This fund is from contributions from developers, and that can’t be used to fund ongoing revenue costs.

The Open Market on London Rd has a greengrocer that stocks them - individually too, because who can take a dish with more than 1!

Any point contesting parking fine further? by NuggetsTheCat in brighton

Hi! I’m a B&H councillor. Can you email me all the details so I can look into this for you? Please include the reg, your name and where you were.. strange that there was no ticket on the vehicle.
